Recording Songs on the QY700

The QY700 offers two general methods for recording songs:
realtime recording and step recording.
• With realtime recording, the QY700 operates as a multitrack
recorder, recording the performance data as it is played. This
allows you to catch all the nuances of an actual perform-
ance.
• With step recording, you input your music one note at a
time, almost as if you were writing the notes down on a
music sheet. This allows you to create complex phrases
without having to play them in real time at the keyboard.
The general procedure that you use to make the recording will
vary according to whether or not you are using the QY700’s
auto-accompaniment feature.
• If you are using auto-accompaniment, you begin by enter-
ing the required accompaniment settings. You can then lis-
ten to the accompaniment while recording the other parts
onto the sequence tracks.
• If you are not using auto-accompaniment, you can skip the
accompaniment setup steps, so that the procedure is shorter.
Both of these procedures are outlined below.

If using auto-accompaniment:

1. At the SONG PLAY screen, select the destination song
for the recording. (→ p.73)
2. Press e to enter Recording Standby. Select the ap-
propriate recording values. (→ p.109)
3. Record the styles and sections for the PATTERN tr ack.
Use either the realtime method (→ p.112) or the step
method (→ p.120).
4. Record the chords into the CHORD track, using either
the realtime method (→ p.112) or the step method (→
p.120).
5. Enter VOICE mode and make provisional mixer set-
tings for all of the parts that will be used to reproduce
your recorded tracks. (→ p.170)
6. Record on track 1, again using either the realtime
(→ p.112) or step (→ p.120) approach. If you are us-
ing the realtime method, you can listen to auto-accom-
paniment while making the recording.
7. Now record track 2. (If using the realtime method, you
can listen to track 1 together with auto-accompaniment
as you record.) Then proceed to record the subsequent
tracks in the same way.
8. Go to SONG mode’s Play Effects submode, and ad-
just the play-effect settings to get the right rhythms
and nuances. You can listen to the recording as you
make the adjustments. (→ p.80)
9. Go to SONG EDIT mode, and edit the sequence tracks
as necessary. (→ p.129)
10.If necessary, use appropriate song jobs to make other
types of editing changes. (→ p.138)
11.Return to VOICE mode, and adjust the tone-genera-
tor settings as necessary. Listen to the recording as
you make these adjustments.
12.When you are satisfied with the results, save the song
to disk.
