Owner's Manual
"Warning -This equipment has been verified to comply with the limits for aClass Bcomputing 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 aClass Bcomputing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J, of Part 15, of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against such ainterference in aresidential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in aparticular 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 atime. 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 adifferent 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 arooftop 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 hap-
pens, 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 aneon 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 asoft cloth and clean only with amild 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 aday after the AC Adaptor
is disconnected, its data will be completely
erased. So it may be agood idea to save all
data onto acassette tape.
•Do not touch the Mode Switch Qwhile the
MSQ-100 is running. If you press it while load-
ing, the data may be lost.
•To avoid accidental loss of the data, be sure to
set the Mode Switch Qto 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 aKeyboard without the Key Ve-
locity 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 Continu-
ous 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 asimple 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 nor-
mally 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 be-
comes aMIDI 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, alow Level Tape Save
output is obtained.When it is set to OFF, ahigh
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 anormal tape re-
corders, and to Iif adata recorder is used.
*To move the positions of these switches, use a
thin implement such as the head of aball-point
pen, and do the job gently.

1. Load
In this manual, writing music data into memory is
called "Loading". There are two methods of load-
ing, Real Time Loading and Step Loading.
aReal Time Loading (1)
In this mode, what you play will be loaded
exactly as it is played.
Normally, the performer plays to ametronome.
(T) Set the Mode Switch ©to Load/Play (Protect
off).
©While holding the Load Mode button ©,

Set the Clock Source Switch to the Internal
position.
*For sync to an external device, see "SlApplica-
tions, 2. Real Time Loading".
(D Set the Metronome Level Switch Qto High or
Low.
If you do not need the metronome sound at all,
set it to off.
©Press the Load Button ©
The Load Indicator lights up and the Metro-
nome will sound.
Actual loading will start from the third mea-
sure. That is, what you have played before that
will not be loaded, the first two bars being a
tempo guide.
*When the Display is in the Measure Mode, it
will respond during the first 2measures as
shown below.
<Note>
*If the whole memory capacity is used up dur-
ing loading, the Display shows "FULL",
and loading automatically stops. If this hap-
pens, the data will not be properly played.
*If you press the Load Button with the Mode
Switch Qset to Protect, the Display Window
Shows "PIE C"(protect), and loading is not
possible.
Be sure to set the Mode Switch to Load/Play in
loading mode.
®Press the Stop Key ©when you have finished
playing. The MSQ-100 runs up to the end of
the measure then stops. The Load Indicator
goes out.
bStep Time Loading
In this mode, pitches and key velocity can be
loaded by playing the keyboard, and the timing
value is loaded, step by step, by selecting astep
time (>,7>, p).
e.g.)
#i4*Sf
(3) While pressing the Load Mode Button, press
the H—
I
Button ©or |—
