manual abstract
Connected to a synthesizer the CSQ-600 can be loaded and played back without breaks in rhythm. It can memorize a total of 600 notes with independent time values and can be combined with keyboard generated passages in live performance. The CSQ-600 can be synchronized with a Compu-Rhythm CR-68 or 78 and it can be played simultaneously with another CSQ-600, a CSQ-100 or an analogue sequencer. The memory of the CSQ-600 is divided into four parts each consisting of 150 notes. The parts may be played in sequence or in a variety of combinations and orders. The sequences can be loaded directly from the synthesizer keyboard (CV for pitch and GATE for rhythm) or the performer can store the CV for pitch and later either add or correct the rhythm with the GATE REWRITE. The SYNC LOAD circuit allows the performer to add information and measures to sequences and to divide passages into 4/4 and 3/4 measures. The METRONOME circuit allows the performer to accurately synchronize the sequence with the quarter note or eighth note pulse of the measure. Portamento can be either programmed into the sequence or later added manually while the CSQ-600 is running. The battery back-up function allows sequences to be stored in the CSQ-600 even when the machine is turned off. The CSQ-600 is designed to be used with synthesizers having 1V/oct control voltage and positive gate pulse. It is also designed so that the internal connections will not interfere when the keyboard is used to play passages on the synthesizer without the sequencer functioning. CONNECTIONS oo© © о е Roland OThe GATE INPUT and CV INPUT should be connected to the synthesizer keyboard outputs. & The GATE OUTPUT and the CV OUTPUT should be connected to the synthesizer ENVELOPE GENERATOR (or GATE INPUT) and the VCO Modification Signal Input (or CV INPUT). @ The CSQ-600 is designed to accept external control signals for the purpose of progressing the steps of a sequence and/ or triggering the beginning and end of a sequence. The STEP INPUT will control the rhythm of each note in the sequence. The START and STOP INPUTS which can be connected to the Roland DP-2 or DP-1 Pedals allow the performer to start and stop a sequence while simultaneously playing keyboards and manually controlling other circuits. GATE PULSE EXT CONTROL IN STEP START STOP DP-2 or DP-1 RECORD ON TAPE PULSE SHAPER SYSTEM 700 OR SYSTEM 100M "GATE DELAY" EXT CONTROL IN STEP START STOP 7 Q The START and STOP CONTROL SIGNALS are output signals that can be connected to other circuits including a second CSQ-600 for the purpose of synchronizing the beginning and end of programmed sequences with additional circuits and information. ©The RHYTHM SYNC jacks are designed for syncronizing the CSQ-600 with the CR-78 Compu-Rhythm. These are output jacks not input jacks. They are used to control the tempo, etc. of the Compu-Rhythm. ©The CSQ SYNC jacks are used when the performer wishes to interface the CSQ-600 with another CSQ-600. In this instance the OUT jack should be connected to the IN of the second CSQ-600 and the IN jack should be connected to the OUT of the second machine. In addition the CONTROL OUT START and STOP jacks. © must be connected to the second CSQ-600's EXTERNAL CONTROL IN START and STOP jacks © in order to synchronize the pulse (metronome) of the two Sequencers. CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION POWER SUPPLY CALIBRATION • The power supply for the CSQ-600 is controlled by this switch. Be sure that the switch is OFF before connecting the Sequencer to the line voltage. Also it is important that the Sequencer is OFF when connecting the CSQ-600 to a synthesizer. • If the line voltage in your area is not stable to within ± 10% of the voltage requirements shown on the nameplate use a voltage regulator. • Some LED's on the front panel will flash brightly for an instant when the power switch is turned on. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction. • Avoid using the CSQ-600 in places of high temperature, humidity and dust. • Neon and flourescent lights may induce unwanted noise when placed near the CSQ-600 and other electronic music equipment. • It is essential to calibrate the CSQ-600 with the synthesizer keyboard before loading information to the memory circuit. In order to calibrate the CSQ-600 the player should hold down a key near the center of the keyboard. Press PUSH CAL If this causes Note: Be sure that the VCO, VCF or VCA of the synthesizer are not being modulated by an LFO etc. while you are calibrating the CSQ-600. a vibrato-like effect in the synthesizer output adjust the knob beside |PCUASLH| to elimi- nate this effect. Once adjusted it will probably not need attention unless another synthesizer keyboard is used. LOAD FUNCTION • The CSQ-600 is a digital sequencer that can store a total of 600 notes (control voltages) with rhythm (gate). Unlike an analogue sequencer that must be set manually for each note of a sequence, the CSQ-600 can memorize inform...
