Chapter 3. VOICE MODE
By editing a drum setup, you can indirectly modify the drum
voice.
The Drum Setup Edit menu will appear in the 4 and
5 positions in the bottom line, only if Drum Setup
(Drum S1, Drum S2) is selected as the Voice Category.
If the same drum setup is selected for two or more parts,
editing one drum setup will cause the other to be modified
simultaneously.
Unlike normal voices, drum voices have a special structure
in which different waves are assigned to each note C#-1–
C5. Also, each note to which a wave form is assigned is
referred to as an instrument, and various parameters can be
set for each instrument.
The types of instrument which are assigned to each note
will depend on the drum kit. For the arrangements of each
drum kit, refer to the separate “QY700 Reference Listings”.
When you change drum kits, all instrument settings will be
initialized. When editing a drum setup, you must first select
the drum kit, and then select an instrument and set its pa-
rameters.
Of these parameters, the filter and EG parameters are rela-
tive adjustments to the voice which function by adding the
specified value to the original value of the voice. Param-
eters other than these modify the voice by overwriting the
original values of the voice.
1. Press v.
The indicator located above v will light, and you will
enter Voice mode.
2. In the Mixer page, select either Drum Setup 1 or Drum
Setup 2 as the Voice Category.
Either (DrsS1Edit) or (DrsS2Edit) will be displayed above

3. Press either 4 (DrsS1Edit) or 5 (DrsS2Edit)
to access the Drum Setup Edit page.

that will be the basis for your editing.
5. Use the microkeyboard to select the drum instrument
that you wish to edit.

modify.

to specify the value.
4. Drum Setup Edit
In Voice mode, keys such as r, e, s, t and r/
f will function in the same way as in Song Play mode.
You can use these keys to listen to the playback while you
modify the settings in realtime. If the Recording Mode for
song recording ( p.109) is set either to Realtime Record-
ing Replace or Overdub, or to Punch Recording, song re-
cording can also be performed in Voice mode.

The upper line shows the drum setup and the currently se-

ures and beats.
To change the playback location of the song, press d
[D1] to move the cursor to Location, and use n/y, the
