206 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE

12. Track status
• You can choose to mute out one or more tracks, or to set
one or more tracks to SOLO play. An mark appears to
indicate that a track is muted; an mark indicates that it is
set to SOLO.
• If you set one or more tracks to SOLO, the QY700 auto-
matically switches off playback from all other tracks. (The
track-number borders change appearance to indicate the
tracks that are temporarily switched off.)
• During playback, the track-status area operates as a veloc-
ity meter that monitors the playback level of each track in
real time.
1. Select a non-empty track by pressing u/
d or the up or down cursor key.
2.
To mute the track
: Press m once, so that the
appears.
To release a mute
: Press m once again.
3.

To set the track to SOLO

: Press s, so that the
appears.

To deselect SOLO

: Press s once again.
• You can easily use this feature to listen to your tracks one
by one. Begin by playing one of the tracks solo, then move
the cursor to select the next track, then press s again.
Note that each time you press s, any previous SOLO
selection is automatically canceled.
4. You can also use the solo feature to select multiple
tracks “solo”, so that only the selected tracks are pro-
duced (with all other tracks silent). Begin by setting
one of the tracks to SOLO as described above. Then
move to each of the other tracks and press
s+s.
•To cancel all of these solo selections at once : Move the
cursor to any one of the tracks, and press s.
To switch off only one of the solo selections : Move to the
corresponding track, and press s+s.
13. Scale time
• You use this value to speed up or slow down the playing
speed of the phrases on the corresponding track. The scale-
time value acts as a multiplier.
• If the meter is set to 4/4, for example, then setting the scale
time to 50% compresses the meter to 2/4, while setting it to
75% compresses the meter to 3/4. A 150% scale time ex-
pands the meter to 6/4; a 200% time expands it to 8/4.
• Note timing also changes accordingly. At 50% scale, a quar-
ter note in the original phrase converts into into an eighth
note; at 66%, into a quarter-note triplet; at 75%, into a dot-
ted eighth; at 133%, into a quarter plus eighth-triplet; at
150%, into a dotted quarter; at 200%, into a half note.
• This scaling feature makes it easy to set up complex rhythms
within your patterns.
