M Set the Pattern Length, Time Signature & Tempo asRequired
If you’re creating a phrase for an empty pattern, move the
cursor to the pattern length parameter and set the desired
pattern length from 1 to 8 measures. If necessary, also move the
cursor to the time signature parameter and set as required (1/16
… 16/16, 1/8 … 16/8, 1/4 … 8/4). The default tempo is 120, but
you can move the cursor to the tempo parameter and set any
other tempo that is suitable for your recording.
< Record
Press the [
W
] key to begin recording. The metronome will
sound and you’ll be given a one-measure count-in prior to the first
measure actually recorded.
Play the required part either on the micro-keyboard or via
an external MIDI keyboard. The phrase will continuously repeat
from the first to last measure, so you can continue to add notes
until the current part is complete.

NOTE
• Since your original phrase will be automatically re-harmonized as
required by the QY70 ABC system, there are a few rules you should
follow to ensure the best results:
1: Stick to the harmonic environment of your source chord.
2: Use primarily the root, 3rd, 5th, and major 7th.
3: Keep it rhythmic … avoid melodic lines.
