NOTE
In any QY70 mode, the micro keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard
plays the voice assigned to the currently selected track. A MIDI
keyboard will also play the voice assigned to a track with the same
number as the external keyboard’s MIDI transmit channel unless the
“ECHO BACK” parameter (page 223) is set to “Rec Monitor”.
If you’re playing the micro keyboard, use the octave keys to access the
full range of instruments in each drum or effects kit.
See the List Book for a complete list of note assignments (i.e. which
drum instruments and SFX sounds are assigned to which notes) for all
drum and SFX kits.
The Pan Pots
Like the pan pots on a mixing console, the VOICE mode
pan pots can be used to position the sound of the corresponding
track anywhere from left to right in the stereo sound field.
Position the cursor at the pan pot, then use the [-1/NO] and [+1/
YES] keys to set the pan position. The graphic pan pot will rotate
to the corresponding position. The pan positions also have
numeric values (1 through 63) that appear at the top of the
display: “Center” is center, “Left 63” is full left, and “Right 63” is
full right. There’s also a “Random” setting in which the pan
position is set randomly.
The Volume Faders
Each track has a graphic volume “fader” that can be set to
produce the best “mix” (balance) between the various voices.
Position the cursor at a fader, then use the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES]
keys or the SHIFT-Number entry method to set the fader level.
The graphic fader will move to the corresponding position (higher
for higher volume, and lower for lower volume). The fader
positions also have numeric values (000 through 127) that appear
in the upper right corner of the display: “000” is minimum
volume (no sound) and “127” is maximum volume. The default
setting is “100” for all tracks. The leftmost “mst” fader is a
“master” fader which can be used to adjust the overall volume
level, while the “pat” fader independently controls the level of
the pattern track.
