ESQ-M – Musician's Manual
"HIDDEN" FUNCTIONS
There are five "hidden" functions on the ESQ-M which are accessed through the Storage Page. These
functions are buried because they aren't really necessary for everyday operation of the ESQ-M and one of them,
the MEMORY RESET function, will wipe out the contents of the ESQ-M's memory. These parameters are
not for the timid. Each, however, is useful in certain situations.
HOW TO FIND THEM
The Hidden functions are activated from the Storage Page. To make them appear:
1.
Press the Param button to put the ESQ-M in Parameter mode.
2.
Press the Storage button go to the Storage Page.
3.
Press and hold down the Scroll button. While holding down the
Scroll
button, press the
Master button.
This puts the five hidden functions, starting with Soft Reset, into the parameter loop along with with the six
functions normally available on the Storage Page. In other words, pressing Scroll will now scroll continuously
through the usual Storage Page controls
in addition to
the five hidden functions. These functions are executed
in the same way as other Storage Page functions — by pressing Storage while holding down the Scroll button.
The extra functions will remain visible until you exit the Storage Page, either by pressing the Program
button or by selecting another parameter Page. To get them back into the loop once you have exited the Storage
Page you must repeat the above procedure.
FUNCTIONS
The five "Hidden" Functions are as follows:
SOFT RESET
Soft Reset has the same effect as turning the ESQ-M's power off and then on again. Let's face it — there
are those rare occasions when MIDI gets totally out of control and notes mysteriously hang, or some
modulation effect just won't go away. You can cure many of those problems by turning an instrument off and
then back on. Soft Reset does the same thing without your having to switch the ESQ-M off. It doesn't
affect the ESQ-M's Program memory or change any parameter values, except that if System Exclusives
were enabled (on the MIDI Page) when you reset, they won't be enabled when the ESQ-M comes back on
(this is also the case when you switch the power off).
To execute the Soft Reset:

With SOFT RESET showing on the Display,

Press the Storage button while holding down the
Scroll
button.. The ESQ-M will act just
like it does when you turn it on, displaying its customary wake-up screen for several seconds and then
returning to Program mode.
SOFTWARE VERSION
This control simply shows you which version of the ESQ-M software you have in your machine. As
with any computer device, the ESQ-M's software is subject to being updated from time to time to in
order to enhance the product.
To see what software version you have:

With SOFTWARE VER showing on the Display,

Press the Storage button while holding down the
Scroll
button.. The Display will show the
version number (as
"ESQ-M VER
X.YZ") for about two seconds and then return to the Storage Page.
