Saving data

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.
