Creating Original Accompaniment Patterns

mSet the Pattern Length, Time Signature & Tempo as Required
If you’re creating a phrase for an empty pattern, move the
cursor to the pattern length parameter and set the desired pattern
length from 1 to 8 measures. If necessary, also move the cursor
to the time signature parameter and set as required (1/16 … 16/
16, 1/8 … 16/8, 1/4 … 8/4). The default tempo is 120, but you can
move the cursor to the tempo parameter and set any other tempo
that is suitable for your recording.
,Record
Press the [>] button to begin recording. The metronome
will sound and you’ll be given a one-measure count-in prior to the
first measure actually recorded.
Play the required part either on the micro-keyboard or via an
external MIDI keyboard. The phrase will continuously repeat from
the first to last measure, so you can continue to add notes until
the current part is complete.

NOTE
• Since your original phrase will be automatically re-harmonized as
required by the QY100 ABC system, there are a few rules you should
follow to ensure the best results:
1: Stick to the harmonic environment of your source chord.
2: Use primarily the root, 3rd, 5th, and major 7th.
3: Keep it rhythmic … avoid melodic lines.
