!2 Micro Keyboard
This tiny 2-octave keyboard makes it possible to program
the QY70 anywhere, anytime, without having to connect an
external MIDI keyboard. It’s even polyphonic, so you can directly
enter chords as well as single notes. The only thing it lacks is
velocity sensitivity. The QY70 does, however, accept velocity
information from an external MIDI keyboard.
When programming accompaniment tracks the micro-
keyboard is also used to specify the chord roots and types to be
entered.
TRY THIS:
In the SONG mode, use the cursor
keys to place the cursor at the
track 1 position (“1” on the
display).
