An 8-track
digital sequencer released in
1984.
The MSQ-700 can hold up to 6500 events over the 8 tracks, with a
tape interface for more storage.
Both
real time and
step-by-step
recording modes are available. Notes are selected via an
external keyboard, while the note length is selected by an onboard
slider. The slider is also used to add
pauses.
The
editing features include a
merge function for mixing seven tracks into one and
overdub for overwriting the existing events in real time. Unfortunately, the
erase function can only be used to wipe out the entire song, and there is no way to remove
individual events.
Both
MIDI and
DCB (for synths like the
Juno-60 are supported, but not simultaneously. DIN and tape sync are also available, along with a
pedal input for the start/stop function.
