Z Select the SONG Mode & an Empty Song

Use the [SONG] key to select the main SONG mode
display and, with the cursor located over the song number at the
top of the display, use the [-1] and [+1] keys or the SHIFT-Number
entry method to select an empty song number if necessary.

Realtime Accompaniment Recording

Once you know how to select patterns (i.e., styles and sections) and
enter chords in the SONG mode (see the preceding sections), recording a
basic accompaniment in real time is easy. Tempo changes can be added
later (page 50).
Record a Complete Accompaniment
The QY70 provides two ways to record an accompaniment by
specifying patterns and chords: “realtime” and “step” recording. The
realtime method is the fastest and easiest, letting you record pattern and
chord changes “on the fly.” The step method gives you more detailed
control, and is an excellent way to add the finishing touches to an accom-
paniment recorded in real time.
NOTE
If for some reason all 20 songs contain data, use the “Clear Song”
function described on page 135 to clear a song for recording.

X Select the “Pt” Track to Record Pattern Changes

Move the cursor to the track area of the display, and then
shift the cursor sideways to select “Pt.” Once selected, move
the cursor vertically to move to other areas of the screen. The
selected track will remain highlighted no matter where you move
the cursor.
