MULTI Mode — Receiving on up to eight MIDI channels
Most of the previous discussion of presets has involved using the SQ-R in OMNI
or POLY mode, in which they act as performance setups for creating complex
splits and layers while sending to the SQ-R on a single MIDI channel.
However, when you select MIDI Mode=MULTI in the System Bank, the eight
tracks of the current preset become like eight "virtual synthesizers," each
receiving on its own MIDI Channel, but sharing the same 21 voices and the same
effects set-up. To set the SQ-R for multi-timbral reception:
• Press System, then scroll right to MIDI Mode. Set to MIDI Mode=MULTI.
The eight preset tracks will now each receive on its own MIDI channel, which
you can select independently for each track.
• Press Select Preset. The eight Track Status indicators in the upper right of
the display now indicate which tracks are enabled to receive and which are not.
For example:

PSET 09 123-56-8
Preset 00
Presest Name
Any tracks which are On (indicated by the track number showing) are enabled
to receive MIDI data. Tracks which are Off (indicated by a dash instead of a
number) will not receive. In the above illustration, Tracks 1,2,3,5,6 and 8 are
On and will receive on their own MIDI Channels; tracks 4 and 7 are Off, and
will not receive any MIDI data.
By leaving some tracks on and turning ottiers off you can determine how many
MIDI channels (up to eight) the SQ-R will respond to. This allows you to use
presets to create custom setups for different multi-timbral applications.
By pressing Edit Track and scrolling to the MIDI Channel parameter, you
can now select the Track MIDI Channel parameter, discussed earlier in this
section, and assign the desired MIDI Channel to each track that is enabled.
In a default SQ-R Preset the eight tracks are set to MIDI Channels 1-8
respectively, but these assignments are completely programmable, and can be
changed to any channels you wish.
