Accompaniment Sequencing
The QY70 features a unique accompaiment system that makes it
easy to create complete accompaniments for any type of music. Accompa-
niments are produced by specifying a sequence of “patterns” to be played
rather than by recording individual notes or chords. The QY70 provides 128
preset accompaniment “styles”, and memory for up to 64 original user
“styles” that you can record yourself. Each “style” can have 6 variation
“patterns” — intro, main A, main B, fill AB, fill BA, and an ending — that
you can sequence, along with chord changes, to quickly create complete
accompaniment tracks. Chord changes are programmed simply by entering
the name of the chord — Yamaha’s advanced ABC (Auto Bass Chord) auto-
accompaniment system automatically re-harmonizes the patterns accord-
ingly. The QY70’s accompaniment sequencing features mean you can whip
up a complete accompaniment in a fraction of the time it would normally
take, significantly simplifying and speeding up the overall production
process.
