SQD-8 has two input methods, i.e. real time
recording and stepwrite recording.
• REAL TIME RECORDING
In real time recording the SQD-8 records
much like a tape-recorder. The difference is
that on the SQD-8 the pitch is not changed,
if the playback speed is varied, and MIDI
DATA like control-change and program-
change can be memorized along with notes.
• STEP-RECORDING
Step-recording on the SQD-8 inputs pitch
and velocity from the keyboard and timing
values by selecting a value on the SQD-8.
This method resembles data input to a
computer. Music which is impossible to play
can be played by the SQD-8 by using step-
recording.
Note: Once the power supply of the SQD-8 is
shut ofT, all the already recorded data will
be completely erased. Don't fail to
conduct the save operation (see p. 17)
before cutting off the power supply.
To put power supply on, turn the switch
on rear panel power supply, after
confirming that AC cord, MIDI CABLE,
etc. are correctly connected.
