T
Tempo track (Tm):
The track in which data that determines the
playback tempo of the song is recorded.
Track:
A location where musical performance data is
recorded in the sequencer. You can record
piano on track 1, bass on track 2, etc.
Transpose:
Shifts the pitch of recorded data in semitone
steps.
Tremolo:
An effect produced by cyclically modulating
the volume.
Tuning:
The process of matching the pitch of two or
more instruments when playing in an ensem-
ble. Normally, A3 is tuned to 440Hz.
U
Undo:
This command cancels the previously per-
formed operation and returns the data to the
condition of that before the operation was
executed. On the QY100, this command can
be performed against JOB, EDIT, and
RECORDING operations. See the entry for
Redo.
Utility:
On the QY100, the display in which MIDI set-
tings and system settings can be made.
V
Variation effect:
One of the QY100’s effects which can func-
tion either as an insertion effect or as a sys-
tem effect, and provides a wide variety of
effect programs such as delay, rotary speaker,
auto pan, amp simulation and auto wah in
addition to reverb and chorus.
Velocity:
A numerical value indicating the speed (force)
with which a note was pressed.
Vibrato:
A performance effect produced by cyclically
changing the pitch.
Voice:
A sound that is built into the tone generator
that can be selected and played.
W
Wet sound:
The audio signal that is processed by an
effect. Normally when using an effect, not all
of the signal is passed through the effect.
Rather, the degree of the effect is adjusted by
mixing the sound that passes through the
effect (the wet sound) with the sound that
bypasses the effect (the dry sound). See also
the entry for Dry sound.
X
XG:
A tone generator format developed by
Yamaha which expands the GM specification
to provide the richer expressiveness and
upward data compatibility that is demanded
by today’s more sophisticated computer
peripheral environment.
