3. THE USER INTERFACE
In this chapter we’ll start with an overview of the SQ80 V user interface. This will give you
an idea of how the instrument is organized and where to find things. The point here is to
establish how the interface is composed at a high level. We’ll dive deeper into the main
panel explaining every module in detail in the next chapter.
3.1. High-Level Overview
The SQ80 V is neatly subdivided into three sections as shown in the illustration above.
1.
The Upper Toolbar:
This is where you handle administrative tasks such as
saving, loading and browsing presets, editing various setup and configuration
parameters, adjusting MIDI mappings and accessing advanced features of
SQ80 V. We will go over the Toolbar in the next section of this chapter.
2.
The Main Panel:
Here is where you will likely spend most of your time when
working with SQ80 V. It contains a detailed reproduction of the SQ-80 panel as
well as additional features. We will go over this panel in the
section of this guide.
3.
The Lower Toolbar:
This section provides quick access to a number of important
parameters and useful bits of information such as CPU usage, panic button and
undo history. We will go over the Lower Toolbar at the end of this chapter.
