● Patterns
Quite simply, each “section” of each “style” is a pattern.
The INTRO section of the “FunkRock” style is a pattern, as is the
MAIN B section of the “BritPop” style. Thus, with 128 styles,
each having 6 sections (we don’t count the BLANK section, for
obvious reasons), you have a total of 768 individual patterns.
● Chord Templates
If you simply select and play a section of a style, the style
will play but without any “harmonic motion”. Which is simply a
fancy way of saying “without chord changes”. The style will play
with the currently selected chord until you enter a new chord
manually or program an original chord progression. But we’ll leave
manual chord entry and chord progression programming for a
later chapter, because the QY100 actually provides 99 preset
chord progressions that you can simply select and play! These
“chord templates” include a wide range of “standard” progres-
sions — some you might recognize from your favorite songs —
commonly used in a wide range of musical genres.
FILL BA A fill that connects the MAIN B section to the MAIN A
section.
ENDING An ending pattern which finishes the song. Playback
stops automatically when the ending pattern finishes
playing.
BLANK When you select the “BLANK” section no sound is
produced by the QY100 until you select another sec-
tion, but the QY100 keeps counting time so that when
you do select another section that section will come in
with the proper timing.
