Playback Control
123
● Velocity
This parameter sets the “velocity” (i.e. loudness) of the
micro-keyboard. The velocity can be set in ten levels — the more
bars the higher the velocity. There are also four “random velocity”
settings which produce different degrees of random velocity vari-
ation. “R1 produces the smallest variation and “R4” produces the
greatest variation.
● Transposition
The transpose (“TRNS”) parameter can be used to trans-
pose the pitch of song playback up or down by a maximum of 2
octaves in semitone increments. A transpose setting of “+00”
produces normal pitch. To transpose song playback move the cur-
sor to the “TRNS” parameter and use the [-1] and [+1] buttons or
the SHIFT-Number entry method (page 34) to set as required.
Minus settings transpose down, and plus settings transpose up
by the specified amount. Each increment corresponds to one
semitone. The maximum range is from “-24” through “+00” to
“+24”.
● Fingered Chord
This parameter can either be turned “OFF” or “ON”. When
“ON” chords played in the specified “fingered zone” of the
micro-keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard are recognized by
the QY100 and the chord accompaniment track is reharmonized
accordingly. See page 252 for details.
