" Warning - This equipment has been verified to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, of Part 15, of FCC rules. Operation with non-certified or non-verified equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception."
The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with our instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television recep-
tion.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J, of Part 1 5, of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against such a interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by the following measure:
· Disconnect other devices and their input/output cables one at a time. If the interference stops, it is caused by either the other device or its I/O cable.
These devices usually require Roland designated shielded I/O cables. For Roland devices, you can obtain the proper shielded cable from your dealer. For non Roland devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.
If your equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, you can try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
· Turn the TV or radio antenna until the interference stops.
· Move the equipment to one side or the other of the TV or radio.
· Move the equipment farther away from the TV or radio.
· Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit than the TV or radio. (That is, make certain the
equipment and the radio or television set are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
® Consider installing a rooftop television antenna with coaxial cable lead-in between the antenna and TV.
If necessary, you should consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission:
"How to Identify and Resolve Radio-- TV Interference Problems"

IMPORTANT NOTES
POWER SUPPLY
· The MSQ-100 uses an AC adaptor system. Be sure to use the supplied AC Adaptor. Using any
other adaptor could cause malfunction or even break down.
· Do not turn the MSQ-100 on before connecting the AC Adaptor to it.
· This unit might not work properly if turned on immediately after being turned off. If this happens, simply turn it off, and turn it on again a few seconds later.
· Before setting up the MSQ-100 with an external synthesizer, be sure to turn both of them off.
LOCATION
· Using the MSQ-100 near a neon or fluorescent lamp may cause noise interference. If so, change the angle or position of the MSQ-100.
Avoid using the MSQ-100 in extreme heat or humidity or where it may be affected by dust.
CLEANING
· Use a soft cloth and clean only with a mild de-
tergent.
· Do not use solvents such as paint thinner.
OTHERS
· If the AC Adaptor is connected, turning the
Power Switch off does not erase the data in
memory, but about a day after the AC Adaptor
is disconnected, its data will be completely
erased. So it may be a good idea to save all
data onto a cassette tape.
Q · Do not touch the Mode Switch while the
MSQ-100 is running. If you press it while loading, the data may be lost.
· To avoid accidental loss of the data, be sure to
Q set the Mode Switch to the Play Only (Pro-
tect) position when not loading, and while turn-
ing the unit on or off.

1. Metronome Beat Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.)
This selects the Metronome beat (J or P ), for
loading or playing.
2. Key Velocity Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.)
When this switch is set to ON, the Key Velocity
information sent through MIDI is written into memory. If you are using a Keyboard without the Key Velocity function (e.g.Juno-106), or do not want Key Velocity information to be written, turn this switch off. Thus, more notes can be loaded into the MSQ-100.
3. Bender/Control Change Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.)
With this switch on, Continuous Controller and/or Pitch Bender information received via MIDI, can be written into memory. Such information con-
sumes much of the memory, thereby reducing the maximum number of notes to be loaded. So, do
not turn this switch on, unless Bender or Continuous Controller information is needed to be written into memory.

4. After Touch Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.)
When this switch set to ON, After touch informa-
tion sent through MIDI can be written into memory. This, however, considerably reduces the
memory capacity, so turn the switch off if you do
not need After Touch information to be written into memory.
5. MIDI OUT Switch
(Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.) This switch can select the type of information sent
from the MIDI OUT Jack of the MSQ-100. When this switch is OFF (Internal), only the music
data of the MSQ-100 is output.
e.g.) In a simple set up of one synthesizer and one MSQ-100, this switch is normally set to OFF.

MSQ-100
The HP-3Q0/400 is an exceptional
case. When controlling an external
sound source, this switch would
be on.
e.g.) When the MSQ-100 is set up between a
Keyboard and Sound Module, this switch is normally set to ON. Otherwise the data cannot be sent from the keyboard to the Sound Module.
6. MIDI OUT/THRU Switch
(Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
turned off.)
When this switch is set to ON, the MIDI OUT/ THRU Jack serves as MIDI OUT. When OFF, it becomes a MIDI THRU (The signal fed into the MIDI
IN Jack is output from this jack without being pro-
cessed).
7. Tape Save Level Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.)
With this switch set to ON, a low Level Tape Save output is obtained.When it is set to OFF, a high Level Tape Save output (Line Level) is obtained.
8. Tape Load Mode Switch (Do not touch this switch while the MSQ-100 is
running.) This switch selects the tone color in tape loading
mode. Set it to mode II if using a normal tape re-
corders, and to I if a data recorder is used.
*To move the positions of these switches, use a
thin implement such as the head of a ball-point pen, and do the job gently.

* In Step Loading mode, only pitches and key velocity data can be loaded. If you wish to write patch numbers etc., later overdubbing will be required.
* If the whole memory capacity is used up during loading, the MSQ-100 will automatically
stop loading.
«Metronome» The Metronome function is available in Real Time Loading or Play mode. The beat of the Metronome can be set to either whole ( J ) or half ( J> ) a beat.
* The first beat of a measure has an accent. * The volume of the metronome can be select-

tained.
During this overdubbing, the new data and existing data are merged, becoming one complete new data. Therefore, it is not possible to separately delete any errors you have made
in playing the keyboard. To correct an error, you need to delete the measure that contains the error, and insert the correct data there. (See "Edit" on P.16)
It may be a good idea to save the base data be-
fore overdubbing onto a tape. In this way,
even if you have made an error in overdub-
bing, you can simply load the data back into the MSQ-100 and try again. (Refer to "Data Transfer on P.20)

a. Display Mode Change
This function allows you to select any Display
mode; Measure, Available Note, Tempo or MIDI
Channel Shift.
While holding the Display Button ©, press the
© P © pur]
^ or the 1
Button, and the Display
© mode changes. The indicators show which one
of the Display modes is currently chosen.
(1) Measure (MEAS) In this mode, the measure currently loading, playing, and/ or being edited will be shown
in the Display. When the MSQ-100 is first
switched on, or turned to the Edit mode, the
Measure mode is automatically selected.
(2) Available Note
The display shows how much more data can be loaded into the MSQ-100's memory. (This
number, however, does not represent the exact number of notes available, so use it to
roughly guage memory consumption.)
(3) Tempo The Display shows the tempo of the clock
selected with the Clock source Switch ©.
When the MSQ-100 is in wither MIDI or DIN
Sync mode, if no external unit is connected to
the MSQ-100, or the clock is extremely slow or
stopped, the Display shows " 5 L
"
(slow).
Turning the MSQ-100 to Tempo Check mode will automatically set it to this Tempo Display
mode.
(4) MIDI Channel Shift The number shown in the Display represents
how much is to be added to, or subtracted
from, the previous MIDI Channel number.
When there is no alteration of the MIDI Channel number (Channel Shift number = 0), "-- " is
shown. (See 4. MIDI Channel Shift on P.25.)
b. Memory Indicators
© These indicators show how much memory has
been consumed so far, by percentage of 0, 25, 50,
75 and 95%.
* Regarding the Display response in Data Transfer" mode, see "5. Data Transfer on P.20.

The Display shows "5" (save) and a Pilot
tone* will be heard. In about 5 seconds, data transfer will start. (During data transfer, Metro-
nome will sound at a certain tempo.)
* A Pilot tone is a high pitched sound heard be-
fore data transfer begins.
Please make it a rule to verify immediately after
saving.
* To leave Save, Load or Verify mode in the mid-
dle of the operation, just press the Stop Button
© When data transfer is finished, the Display
shows " S.Cooo' " (save good).
© Stop the tape recorder and press the Stop But© ton on the MSQ-100.
The data in the MSQ-100's memory can be retained even when the power is switched off, as long as the AC Adaptor is connected. If, however, the AC Adaptor is disconnected, the data in the memory will be lost in about a day. It may be a good idea to save the data you have made onto a tape to avoid accidental
loss.
20
2) Verify
© Rewind the tape to the beginning of the data. If
your tape recorder features a playback level
control, set it to medium volume.
® Q Set the Mode Switch to Data Transfer, and © the Switch to Tape. The Display shows
® Press the Verify Button.
The display shows " \J" (verify).
© Play the tape recorder. When the head of the
data is found, verification will begin. (During
verification, the metronome will sound at a
certain tempo.)

verification procedure. Please read "Notes on Verify and Load".
® Stop the tape recorder, then press the Stop © Button on the MSQ-100.
3) Load
© Rewind the tape to the beginning of the data. If
your tape recorder features a playback level control, set it to medium.
© © Set the Mode Switch to Data Transfer and © the Repeat Play Switch to Tape. The Display
shows " 1RPE "
© Press the Load Button. The Display shows
" L" (load).
© Play the tape recorder. When the head of the
data is found, the Display shows " [_.

the load procedure. Please read "Notes on Verify and Load".
© Stop the tape recorder, and press the Stop But© ton on the MSQ-100.
* If loading or verification is not completed within a few minutes, there must be an error.
21
Notes on Verify and Load
If an error is indicated during the verify or load operation, repeat the operation, taking care of the following points.
(1) When to press the Button Be sure to press the Verify Button ©, or Load Button ©, before data transfer begins.
(2) Level Adjustment Adjust the playback level of the tape recorder. (The appropriate level varies depending on the type of tape recorder.)
(3) Connection
Be sure that the connections are all made cor-
rectly, and securely.
If your tape recorder has two kinds of IN/OUT jacks (i.e. MIC/LINE IN, EAR/LINE OUT, etc.), try using different ones this time.
Some tape recorders do not allow proper operation when both Save and Load connection are made at the same time, so make only the relevant
connection.
(4) Tape you use Use a high quality tape.
If it is possible, use a new tape. An old tape is more likely to have dropouts.
Use a tape shorter than a C-60. The one longer C-
90 is too thin for a proper result in saving.
(5) Where to start saving Run the tape for a while before actually saving, to
avoid the head of the tape.
(6) Tape Recorder
Try using the same tape recorder for saving and
loading, so that the possibility of error will be reduced.
Playback the data tape in the same track system as it was saved. If the data has been saved in
monaural, it is no use playing it in stereo.
Clean and demagnetize the head of the tape
recorder.
(7) Tape Load Mode Change the position of the Tape Load Mode
® switch in the Function Switches@.
(8) Tape Save Level
® Change the position of the Tape Save Level in
the Function Switches® .
* If an error is still indicated, use a different tape recorder and repeat the procedure.
Preserving Data Tapes Please do not keep the data tape in extreme heat, or humidity or near strongly magnetic units such as a speaker, or an amplifier.
b. Data Transfer through MIDI
Between two MSQ-100's, music data can be communicated by means of MIDI Exclusive messages.

3] Applications
1. DIN SYNC The MSQ-100 can be perfectly synchronized with
the device featuring the DIN Sync function.
a DIN SYNC IN Jack Connect this jack to the SYNC OUT of the external
@ device. Then set the Clock Source Switch to
SYNC. The MSQ-100 serves as a Slave unit (being
controlled by an external unit), therefore the external unit controls the tempo, start/stop function,
etc.
b DIN SYNC OUT Connect this jack to the SYNC IN of the external
@ device, then set the Clock Source Switch to the
proper position, depending on how the units are set up. If the MSQ-100 serves as a Master unit
(controlling the external device), set the switch to the Internal position.
SYNC
IN
OUT
SYNC OUT to SYNC IN
When the MSQ-100 is a slave, and not playing,
the Start signal sent from the external unit will always start the music data from the begin-
ning.
2. Real Time Loading (2) Even when the MSQ-100 is synchronized with an external device such as a rhythm machine or sequencer, the Real Time Load function is still av-
ailable.

loading starts.
© While the last measure of the music is being
played, stop the external device. The MSQ-100
stops at the end of the measure, and the Load Indicator goes out.

4. MIDI Channel Shift
This function makes it possible to use different.
MIDI Channels for loading the information re-
© cieved from the MIDI IN. If the MIDI OUT of the
® Function Switches
ON is set to the
position
(Mix), the information received from the MIDI IN
will be transmitted from MIDI OUT on the new
channel.
25
(T) Make sure the MSQ-100 is not running.
(2) Press the MIDI Channel Button®. The Display will show a number as long as the button is pressed down.
* The number shown in the Display means the number added to or subtracted from the cur-
rent MIDI Channel number. In this manual, we
call this the Channel Shift number.
* The Channel Shift number is zero right after power on, and the Display reacts as shown
below.
* If this new channel number happens to be less
than zero, or bigger than 17 (such as -2, -5, 18 or 20 etc.), that will be ignored. Therefore, it is not transmitted or loaded.
· Example
Information is received on MIDI Channel 2. The number shown in the Display (Channel Shift
number) is 5.-^ The new MIDI Channel is 2 + 5 = 7.
Information is received on MIDI Channel 10. The
number in the Display (Channel Shift) = -4-» The new MIDI Channel is 10 + (-4) = 6.

7. Sequencing a Rhythm Machine (with Dynamics)
By using the MSQ-100 with a MIDI rhythm machine that accepts Key Velocity information, Dynamics (such as the TR-909), a unique result can be obtained. That is, by loading rhythm data into the MSQ-100 by using a MIDI keyboard with
the Key Velocity function (such as HP-300/400), rhythm with Dynamics can be played. Also, subtle nuances can be expressed through real time load-
ing.
