130 Chapter 2. SONG MODE

• You use the SONG EDIT submode to edit the contents of a
song. You can adjust or delete any of the MIDI events that
constitute the song, and you can add new events.
• The QY700 offers two different sequence-track editing
screens: an event list and a graphic display. You can toggle
between these screens by pressing 1.
• The event list presents a listing of the track’s MIDI events,
in order of their occurrence. Each entry shows an event’s
location in time, its name, and its numerical arguments. You
are free to adjust the location or any of the argument values.
You can delete any of the events, or insert new ones. The
event-list screen is described in detail directly below.
• The graphic display consists of a piano-roll section and a
point-graph section. You can edit the event values on this
screen, but you cannot insert or delete events. Description
of the graphic display begins on page 135.
• You can also use SONG EDIT submode for measure-by-
measure editing of the PATTERN and CHORD tracks. The
edit page presents a list-type display that you can use to
make changes, additions, and deletions.
1. At the SONG PLAY screen, press u or
d to select the track you want to edit.
• On the SONG PLAY screen, the selected track (the “key-
board track”) is indicated by highlight.
2. Press e to enter SONG EDIT submode (Event
List screen).
3. Move the cursor to the event that you want to edit. You
can use various methods, as follows.
• Press d [D1] to move the location entry area. Se-
lect the measure using the data dial, n/y, or the nu-
meric keypad.
• Regardless of the cursor position, you can always move
the cursor rapidly across the screen using the shuttle dial
or the r or f keys. If you move the cursor more
slowly with the shuttle dial, the QY700 will play out
note events as the cursor passes.
• You can move up or down one event at a time by press-
ing u or d. Again, the QY700 will reproduce note
events when the cursor lands on them.
4. When you reach an event that you want to edit, use
l or r to move the cursor along the line to each
value you want to change (the measure, the beat, the
clock count, or any of the arguments). Change the
values using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric
keypad. Regardless of the entry method, you must
press e to register the value.
• The new settings will blink on the screen until you press
e to register them. If you move the graph cursor before
pressing e, the original values will remain in effect.
5. If you wish to insert a new event, press6 (Insert)
and proceed as described on page 133. If you wish to
delete an entire event, move the cursor to the corre-
sponding line and press 5 (Delete).
6. When you have finished editing, press e to re-
turn to the SONG PLAY screen.
• If you make an error during editing, you can cancel all
changes made during the current SONG EDIT ses-
sion by executing the UNDO song job (job 00).

1. Track number and name
• This area identifies the track that you are editing. The first
value gives the track’s number, and the second value gives
its name.
• You can you use 3 (TrName) to set or change the
track’s name. (→ p.132)
• You can change to a different track by pressing u
or d.
2. Location
• The location area indicates the measure and beat at which
the cursor is located.
• You can jump the cursor to a different measure by entering
the corresponding measure number into this area. You can
select any measure between song start (001:1) and song end.
