For details on each parameter of the VOICE mixer display, see “The

Song Voice Mode” on page 61. Remember that each track’s voice assign,

pan and volume settings for a preset pattern in the VOICE mode will not be

stored in memory.

Pattern Voice mode

Each pattern phrase has its own voice whether it is a preset phrase

or a user phrase. (The user phrase voice is specified in the phrase record

ready mode described on page 146).

However, you can also assign any of the QY70’s 519 voices and 20

drum kits to the 8 pattern phrase tracks(D1, D2, PC, BA, C1...C4) via the

PATTERN VOICE mode.

The VOICE mode features a graphic on-screen “mixer” that has

mute/solo controls, pan pots, and faders for each track. The PATTERN

voice mode also provides access to effect send controls and a versatile

range of voice editing parameters.

Press the [PATT] key to select the voice mode mixer display. The

mixer display shows 8 pattern phrase tracks at a time.

The VOICE mode mixer display looks almost the same as that of the

SONG VOICE mode except:

Voice parameter for

each track shows “-

-”

as the default setting,

which means that the

phrase has its own

voice assigned to each

track.

The track numbers are D1, D2, PC,

BA and C1...C4.

Master volume and Pattern

volume faders are omitted.
