5: More Creative Control
This chapter describes a range of features and functions that add to the QR10’s musical versatility: changing
voices for each track, recording original “sampling voices”, setting the volume of each track for the best overall
balance, transposition, and giving the patterns a swing feel.

Changing Voices

The QR10 has 70 preset voices, including a “rhythm” voice that contains 60 different drum and percussion instruments,
that can be assigned to any of the accompaniment tracks. You can also record two original “sampling voices” that can be
assigned in the same way (voice sampling is described in the next section).
DETAIL
Please note that voice changes made to the patterns are only temporary, and that the original
voices will be automatically restored as soon as a different pattern or mode is selected. You can
make permanent voice assignments when programming your own combination or user patterns (pages 36
and 37).
