It will let you view a LIST similar to the one that 

the GENERATOR / VOICE routine did. If you select 

your VOICE with the MIDI MIXER, when you have 
completed selection you can click on the INSERT 

PARAMETER icon on the toolbar and the SQ01 will 

automatically create the setup data and insert it 
into the appropriate tracks.  

 

Saving data 
Saving data in the SQ01 should be done in one of 

the native formats. The .yws format will save your 

entire session but not the audio and there is a 

second .yws format (with Samples), which will 
save your session and audio included in it.  

• 

Click SAVE AS… and select the appropriate 

type file for your purpose 

 

If you are doing a non-audio session, and wish to 

send the file to a SmartMedia card for play in real 
time from the S90’s playback sequencer:  

• 

Save your data as a SMF TYPE 0  

• 

Send your MIDI MIXER settings to the S90 by 

clicking on the TRANSMIT PARAMETERS icon 
(a MIDI jack icon). Then you can save the MIX 

to an S90 TEMPLATE 

• 

From the MIX area press F5 TEMPLATE 

• 

Name one of the 50 MIX TEMPLATES and 

press SF5 PUT to place (or Put) the current 

MIX to the location. 

• 

When you transfer your SMF to SmartMedia 

card and place it in the S90, you can create a 

play list (called a CHAIN) – each Chain can 

recall a MIX and then a SMF – you can even 
program in stops; 

 

Manually retrieving a Template is called "GET" and 
is accessed from F5 Template/ SF4 Get.  

 

You can use the Chain function to automate recall 
of mix setups from the FLASH ROM of the S90 and 

then play SMF from the SmartMedia card. This 

requires that you create several TEMPLATES (one 

for each Song setup) – These will be stored in the 
S90’s Flash ROM memory. Name your MIX 

Templates appropriately, then set up a Chain (F1) 

that has steps that look something like this:  

 
01 mix01: Feelings (recalls the Template)  

02 SMF: Feelings (plays the song) 

03 mix02: My Girl (recalls the Template) 
04 SMF: My Girl (plays the song) 

05 mix03: SanJose? (recalls the Template) 

06 SMF: SanJose? (plays the song) 
07 Stop (program a stop for an announcement) 

08 mix04: Alfie (recalls the Template) 

09 SMF: Alfie (plays the song) 

 
etc., etc. There are 50 TEMPLATES and 100 STEPS 

available in a CHAIN. When you push PLAY, the 

Mix will be recalled from the internal FLASH ROM 
Mix Template and then the Chain will play the 

NEXT  SMF  (song)  directly  from  SmartMedia  card. 

In other words, to recall mix01 for “Feelings”, you 
start at the top of the list. It will instantly recall 

the MIX and go on to play the song “Feelings”. 

The Chain will advance automatically and wait 

after playing “SanJose?” Step 07 is a programmed 
stop. When you push PLAY again it will continue 

from the current position and recall the mix04 

“Alfie” from the internal Template setup, and then 
immediately play the song file from the 

SmartMedia card.
