210 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE

• You use the phrase table to access the parameters for the
currently selected phrase.
• Note that it is not possible to edit the parameter values for
preset phrases. But you are free to edit the values on your
user phrases.
• If you wish to change the values for a preset phrase, you
can copy it into a user phrase, and then edit the copy.
1. Select the phrase at the PATCH screen. (→ p.208)
2. Press 4 (PhrSolo) once, to set the PA TCH screen
into “phrase solo” mode.
3. Press 6 (PhrTable) to move to the Phrase Table
screen.
4. If you have selected a user phrase: Move the cursor to
each of the settings you want to change, and enter the
appropriate value using n/y or the data dial.
5. When you have finished, press e to return to the
“phrase solo” screen.
6. When you are ready, press e again to release
“phrase solo” and resume normal PATCH-screen op-
eration.
1. Phrase number and name
• These values identify the currently selected phrase.
• You can use the Phrase Name job to set or change the names
for your user phrases. (→ p.279)
2. Phrase length
• This value shows the phrase’s length, in measures.
• It is not possible to change this value for existing phrases.
Before recording a new user phrase, however, you can set
the length value from the Recording Standby screen. (→
p.249)
3. Phrase type
• The TYPE value selects the kind of chord conversion used
when modulating (transposing) the phrase. Different TYPE
settings result in different conversion results, as follows.
• The “Melody” types (Mdly1, Mldy2) generate relatively
slight, subtle changes in the playback sound.
• The “Chord” types (Chrd1, Chrd2) generate relatively large
changes in the playback sound.
• For Mldy1 and Chrd1 transpositions, the QY700 first con-
verts the original phrase line according to the chord type,
and then transposes according to the chord root. For Mldy2
and Chrd2 transpositions, the QY700 attempts to remain
closer to the original sound, so that the chord change is some-
what smoother.
• The Bass type is used for bass phrases. For these phrases,
the QY700 always produces the root note at the start of any
chord change. In addition, transposition is always accord-
ing to the target chord’s on-bass or original-bass setting (if
any).
• The Bypas (Bypass) setting disables all phrase transposi-
tion – the phrase always bypasses the conversion process
and plays out in its original sound. (Note that drum and
percussion voices are always Bypas type.)
• The Para (parallel) type transposes by root only; the chord
type is ignored. This is useful for phrases that contain im-
plicit internal chord changes, since chord type conversion
in this case may produce unpredictable or clashing results.

4. Retrigger
• This setting determines how the phrase responds to chord
changes that occur while the phrase is already playing. If
the setting is OFF, the phrase switches off when the chord
change occurs. If ON, the QY700 transposes the phrase (in
accordance with the chord-conversion parameters) and con-
tinues the playback.

5. Low and high limits
• These values select the highest and lowest notes that can be
used for replay of the transposed phrase. If transposition
produces a note that is outside the limit, the QY700 shifts
the note (by octave) to bring it into range.
