[. . . ] and that Program will play on the Track. `MIDI" On the Mix·MIDI Page (which we will cover next), it is possible to assign MIDI only Status to a given Track. This means that whatever is recorded on the Track, or played from the Keyboard when the Track is selected, will be sent out over MIDI, but will not sound at all on the SQ-1 PLUS. When MIDI only Status has been selected for a Track on the Mix·MIDI Page, the word *MIDI* will replace the Program Name on the Tracks Select Page, as in the case of Track 3 above. *SEQ-* When SEQ- Status has been selected for a Track on the Mix·MIDI Page. the word *SEQ-* will replace the Program Name on the Tracks Select Page, as with Track 6 in the previous illustration. FLASHING UNDERLLNE -- Playing the EDIT Program on a Track When a Track is selected, you can hear the Sound that's in the Edit Buffer (the EDIT Program) on that Track by simply pressing the COMPARE Button. Two things happen: 1) The Name of the Edit Program appears in that Track's Location on the Tracks Select Page, and 2) The underline beneath the Track Location flashes. The flashing underline means that the Track is playing the EDIT Program. Pressing the COMPARE Button again returns you to the Program that is really on the Track -- the underline stops flashing, and the original Program Name reappears. This function is useful if you want to Edit the Program that is on a Track. and then hear the Track with the Edited Program. Note: You cannot Record a Track with the Edit Program. Going into Record automatically puts the original Program back onto the Track. Now Press *MORE* (or press the Mix·MIDI button again). Section 4 -- The Sequencer 99 SQ-1 PLUS -- Musician's Manual TRACK PROG NUM -- Track Program Number From this Page you can adjust the Program a Track plays in terms of its MIDI Program Number. This is the number of the Program Change that will be sent out over MIDI when a Sequence is selected, or comes around in a Song. It is also the MIDI number of the Internal SQ-1 PLUS Program assigned to the Track. The Program you selected for the Track from the Tracks Select Page and the Program number selected here are linked to each other -- changing either one will cause the other to change. - - Select any of the eight Tracks -- it becomes underlined. > Use the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons to change the MIDI Program Number. Range for each Track is 001 To 128 (the full range of MIDI Program Numbers) Changing this number will also change the Program for that Track on the Tracks Select Page to the Internal or Cartridge Program which corresponds to the new number. Program Numbers can be selected which are out of range for the SQ-1 PLUS (above 40 when no Cartridge is inserted, and above 120 when a Cartridge is inserted). This lets you send the full 128 Program Changes to external instruments which can receive them. ____ > Selecting a Track, and then pressing its button again, causes the underline to disappear, "Unselecting" the Track and putting the SQ-1 PLUS into the Straight Synth mode (no Track Selected. ) When a Track is sending to an external instrument via MIDI, you can use this Sub-page to change the Program (or patch) that instrument is playing, assuming it receives MIDI Program changes. This means that once you have assigned each external instrument a different MIDI Channel, you can control them all right from the SQ-1 PLUS. A NOTE ABOUT PROGRAM NUMBERS MIDI Program Numbers can be a little confusing.
