1The QY20: What It Is & What It Can Do
●Compose & Arrange
●Serious Music Production
●Use It As a Tone Generator
●Add ABC Capability to Your
MIDI Keyboard
The QY20’s outstanding voices, versatile sequencing capability,
and in-depth editing features make it a perfect tool for trying out mu-
sical ideas and arrangements. It’s also a great way to present your
ideas to others (➪ page 108).
Use the QY20 as an adjunct to serious music recording and pro-
duction. It can, for example, be MIDI-clock synchronized to other
MIDI equipment in order to add extra tracks to an arrangement (➪
page 160).
The QY20’s AWM tone generator is in no way a compromise. You
get outstanding AWM sound quality that’s on a par with some of the
finest full-size synthesizers. You can select and play the QY20 voices
remotely from just about any MIDI keyboard, computer, or other con-
troller (➪ page 168).
Use the QY20 as an “ABC expander” for your MIDI keyboard.
Auto-accompaniment can make playing at home more fun, and it can
be a tremendous sound-booster at 1-performer live gigs (➪ page 170).
