Accompaniment Patterns
The QY100 has a total of 4,285 preset phrases that can be combined
to create a virtually endless variety of accompaniment patterns. The preset
phrase numbers have three sections, as shown below. The cursor can be
placed at any of these three sections to select as required.
QY100 accompaniment patterns are created by combining
“phrases” — either preset or original — in the PATTERN mode. A
phrase is simply an individual “part” of a pattern — e.g. a drum
phrase, a bass phrase, a keyboard phrase, etc. — using a single voice.
The QY100 has 4,285 preset phrases, and 384 memory locations for
original patterns (i.e., 64 user styles, each with independent INTRO,
MAIN A, MAIN B, FILL AB, FILL BA, and ENDING sections).
You can also see phrase components of the preset patterns in
the PATTERN mode.
