Realtime Recording: Sequence Tracks (TR1,...,TR32)
6. When you are ready to stop recording, press s.
▼The QY700 returns to the SONG PLAY screen.
• You can use song job 00 (UNDO/REDO) to cancel a re-
cording that you have just made. This allows you to recover
data that you have inadvertently over-recorded. (→ p.141)
• Remember to set the appropriate parameters (such as meas-
ure, tempo, meter, click beat, click mode, count, and trans-
position) before beginning the recording. (→ p.109)
• If you have selected a style number and section, the QY700
will start pattern replay at the same time that it starts to
record. If you don’t want to hear a pattern, set the style
number to 00.
• If you have selected a pattern whose section connection is
set to End, the QY700 will automatically stop recording
when the pattern playback reaches its end. If you do not
want this to happen, select a different pattern or else change
the section connection setting. (→ p.202)
• You can use the 1 (MULTI) function to make a si-
multaneous recording of multiple MIDI channels.
(→ p.110)
• Sequence tracks can record system-exclusive data, subject
to memory constraints. (You can use your QY700 as a MIDI
data filer.)
• If you input your recording using the QY700 keyboard keys,
the velocity for each note is set to 88( f ). If you want true
recording of velocity values, use a remote MIDI keyboard
for the input.
• Before recording onto the QY700 from a remote keyboard,
go to UTILITY mode and set the MIDI “echoback” setting
to “RecMonitor”. (→ p.292)
• You use this function to record a performance in real time.
You can input the performance using the QY700
microkeyboard, a remote MIDI keyboard, or some other
type of remote MIDI device
• This section describes the 3 (REPLACE ) and 4
(OVERDUB) realtime recording methods. The 5
(PUNCH) method, which is also realtime, is described on a
later page.
• You use the 3 (REPLACE) method when you want to
overwrite any data already existing on the track – for exam-
ple, when you want to redo a phrase that you are not satis-
fied with.
• You use 4 (OVERDUB) when you want to add your
new performance data to the data already contained in the
track. This allows you to build up a complex phrase by re-
cording it as a combination of several parts.
1. At the SONG PLAY screen, press e.
▼The QY700 displays the Recording Standby page. The RE-
CORDING indicator comes on.
2. Press 3 (REPLACE) or 4 (OVERDUB) to
select the recording method.
3. Press u or d as necessary to
select the track you want to record.
4. Press p.
▼The PLAY indicator begins flashing. The QY700 counts
out the specified number of lead-in measures (as set by the
COUNT parameter; see page 78), and then begins the re-
cording.
5. Input the performance data from the microkeyboard
or your remote MIDI instrument.
