Progression & Pattern Changes
As an example that can be programmed quickly and easy let’s use
the HipHop2 style (style number 035) with the following arrangement:
INTRO (4 measures) → MAIN A (7 measures) →
FILL AB (1 measure) → MAIN B (7 Measures) →
FILL BA (1 measure) → MAIN A (8 measures) →
ENDING
The chord changes are oh-so-simple. The entire accompaniment
uses only two chords — Cm7(11) and Fm7(11) — as follows:
* The INTRO and ENDING sections have their own chord progressions — you only need to
specify the starting chord (Cm7(11))
■ NOTE
• The reason that the first two occurrences of MAIN A and MAIN B are 7 measures
long instead of 8 (a more normal “unit”) is that the fills — FILL AB and FILL BA —
function as the last measure of the 8-measure units.
Now that you’re familiar with the QY100’s styles, patterns, and
preset chord templates, let’s try recording a short accompaniment
with pattern changes and an original chord progression.
