SQ01v2
You can think of the SQ01v2 as an advanced
entry-level program. While worth much more than
its “free” status would lead you to believe, it can
give you a real good idea of the
hardware/software integration concept. The
SQ01v2 is OPT compliant. Open Plugin Technology
was the germ idea that launched the Studio
Connections concept of hosting a series of
hardware editors (synth Voice editors, Multi-Part
editors, Plugin board editors, digital mixer editors
and effect processor editors) and linking them to
the software you are using to record.
The recommended method of working with the
Motif ES Voice and Multi-Part Editors is to simply
launch them from within the SQ01v2 environment
– that is, you do not
need to launch or use the
Studio Manager host application. Think of it as
already built-in to the SQ01v2 program.
When you have properly installed the Motif ES
6/7/8 Multi-Part Editor and the Motif ES 6/7/8
Voice Editor on your computer, SQ01v2 will find
and be able to not only launch these editors but
also store the associated files. You do not need to
launch the STUDIO MANAGER 2.x.x. Host
application.
When you are ready to use any of the editors you
can click on the list shown above or you can even
place Quick Launch icons on your main toolbar.
Click on the chevron to the right of the icons to
open the “Customize Toolbar” window.
From the list of available Yamaha Editors on your
computer you can “ADD” the icon to the current
toolbar list on the right. These will allow you to
open the editor when you need to customize your
mix (Multi) or edit an individual Voice (Voice).
When you save your SQ01v2 file (.yws) the Voice
Editor and Multi-Part Editor setups are
automatically stored with the file. When you open
the file next time you are working on this song all
your data comes back with it.
Think of the SQ01v2 as a proof of concept and it
is an excellent basic getting started software.
