14. Beat shift
• You use this feature to shift the entire pattern backwards or
forwards in time, by 16th-note increments.
• A setting of +01*x, for example, shifts the phrase forward
(toward the end of the pattern) by one 16th note, while a
setting of -01*x shifts the phrase backwards by that amount.
• This feature lets you produce a wide range of variations
from a single phrase. This, in turn, increases the range of
patterns that you can build.

15. Phrase number and name
• As mentioned above, you can freely enter or change phrases
within the matrix area of the PATCH screen. You select each
phrase by its phrase number, as described below.
• If a selected phrase is longer than one measure, the box
surrounding the phrase number will extend horizontally
across the measure boundary.
• A phrase starts playing at the measure at which it is en-
tered, and continues until the last measure of the pattern or
until a subsequent entry is encountered on the same line
(track).
• You select a phrase by moving the cursor to the matrix po-
sition, then setting the phrase number as described immedi-
ately below. Note that the data area (above the matrix) shows
the phrase number, phrase name, and instrument category
for the cursor-selected phrase.
• The QY700 provides two types of phrases: preset phrases
and user phrases.
• The phrase number for a preset phrase consists of three
fields: the instrument category, the beat value, and a sequen-
tial number. You select the phrase by choosing values for
each of these fields. You can select from a total of 3,876
preset phrases.
• The phrase number for a user phrase consists of two fields.
It starts with the characters US (in the instrument-category
field), which are followed by a sequential number. (The beat
field is left blank.)
