Important
Please
besurethat the Protect
Switch on the back
panel
is
set
to
OFF
before turning the
MSQ-700
on
for the
first
time.
On
turning
it
on, the Display
Window
will
show

several
times then

,
This
indicates that
the
MSQ-700
is
being
now
initialized
(=
all
data
is
swept out
of
the
MSQ-700's memory).
If
the Pro
tect
Sw
itch has
been
set
to
ON,
the Display
will
show
|
ProT~1 instead,
and
initialization
is
not
exe-
cuted.
When
you
turn
on
the
MSQ-700
after
loading
any
data,
naturally the Protect Switch .should
be
set to
ON
so
that your
data will
be
.securely
protected
from
unnec-
essary
loss.
But with
this
switch
set to
ON,
if
there
is
any
error
in
the data you have loaded, the Display
will
respond
as
follows.

In
this case, entire data
is
broken, so simply
set
the
Protect Switch
to
OFF
then turn the
unit on,
and
initialization will
be automatically executed.
The
Display

In
this case,
pressing the Reset
Key
will
normalize
the
MSQ-700
superficially
(=
all
the
relevant indica
tors light
up),
but internally, the data
is
damaged.
So unless
you
crave for listening
to the existing data,
initialize
the
MSQ-700 immediately
as
explained
below.
If
you
fail
to
do
so,
you
are
annoyed by
this
error indication
every
time you
turn
on
the
unit.
*
Error
is
-often
caused by
idiotic
operation such
as
turning the unit off during loading or editing.
Other-
wise,
the back-up battery
is
getting
flat.
How
to
initialize

Switch

®
While holding the
Erase
Button
(in
the
Edit/Tape
Mode
Section), switch the unit on.
*
Do
not
release the Erase Button
until the Display
responds with
|
Clr

.
*
Initialization
will
erase
all
the existing data
from
the
memory.
NOTE
To
avoid
loss of
your
indispensable
data,
we
recom-
mend
to save each
one
of the
data.
SUB
Switches
These four
tiny switches are located
on
the
left
of the
back panel.
1
Back
Up
Memory
Back-up
function
is
available
by
pushing
this
switch into
upward
position. This switch
is
initially set
to
downward
position
by manufacturer
to avoid
bat-
tery waste, so
be
sure to
push
it
up
before using the
MSQ-700.
2
After
Touch
With
this
switch
pushed
into
upward
position,
the
MSQ-
700
can
store
even After
Touch
information sent
from
MIDI
keyboard. This,
however,
costs vast
amount
of
memory
considerably reducing the capacity
for total
notes.
For
this
reason, unless
you want
After
Touch
information, keep
this
switch
to
downward
position.
3 Mix Out
Usually,
if
just
one keyboard
is
set
up with the
MSQ-
700, this
switch
is
to
be pushed down.
And
if
you
are
using
more
than
one keyboard, set this
switch
to on.
That
is,
with
this
switch
off,
only sequencer data
in
the
MSQ-700
is
sent
through the
MIDI Out, and
if
it
is
pushed
into
upward
position,
both sequencer and
key-
board data fed
through
the
MIDI
Input
is
sent
out.

4 Tape
Usually, this switch
is
to
be pushed
into
downward
position,
but the upward
position
may
be better for
tape saving or loading with
high
quality recording
equipment
rather
than
cassette
tape
recorder.
Decide
which
position
is
more
suitable for
your
case
by the
Level
Test function. This switch, however,
has
no
effect
on the
Tape Sync
at
all.
