SQ16
2.3. Loop
Turns Loop alternating on and off.
• Loop not active:SQ 16 stops after pattern end, song end or chain end (depending on play mode)
• Loop active:patterns, songs and chains are repeated after arriving at their final step
2.4. Select/Edit
Many edit functions are used to change settings for patterns, songs, MIDI Sets and so on. Because most of those settings
exist several times it can be necessary to make double selections. For example, we have used the Inst Step Accent function.
The accent track is part of a pattern; consequently we needed to select a pattern; but we also needed to select an instrument
track I1..I13.
All this is done with the help of the Select/Edit section (the Copy function is without interest at the moment). The buttons in the
left section select - depending on the current function - either instrument/note tracks or Song Steps (only in Song Edit). If no
LED in the left section is active the currently selected function does not affect instrument or note tracks or Song Steps. The
buttons in the right section select - again depending on the current function - patterns, Songs, Step Sets, MIDI Sets, Chains or
Rotates. An LED shows which data type is affected.
The "Select" button and both "arrow" buttons have the same functionality in both sections.
• Select
Selecting an instrument track (left section) or for example a pattern (right section) is done by holding down the "Select"
button and pressing one of the step buttons. The LED's above the step buttons show the current selection. For example,
to select instrument track 5 hold down the "Select" button and press the step button 5. Then release the "Select" button.
• Arrow up
This button is used to select the next higher object; e.g. instrument tracks I1, I2, I3...I13. Holding the button down for lon-
ger than about a second will result in "scrolling" with increasing speed.
• Arrow down
This button is used to select the next lower object; e.g. instrument tracks I13, I12, I11...I1. Holding the button down for
longer than about a second will result in "scrolling" with increasing speed.
This method for selecting data is common for the whole SQ16. The next sections give detailed descriptions of each function
and the necessary steps. After short practice you will be familiar with data selection and no longer need the aid of this manual.
