250 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE

5. Low and high limits
These values select the highest and lowest pitches that can
be used for replay of a transposed phrase. If transposition
produces a note that is outside the limit, the QY700 shifts
the note (by octave) to bring it into range.
0101
1101
Low limit C-2,...,G8
High limit C-1,...,G8
6. High key
This setting determines the highest key that the chord root
can take following transposition. The setting applies only
to phrases of the following types: Mldy1, Chrd1, and Bass.
To transpose any of these phrase types, the QY700 normally
shifts the root upwards by the number of semitones separat-
ing the source chord’s root and the new chord’s root. Be-
cause too large a shift upward can cause the phrase to lose
its original character, however, the QY700 will automati-
cally shift downward, by one octave, any transposition that
would move to a root higher than the value set here.
0101
1101
C,...,B
7. Voice category, program number, banknumber, and voice name
The first three values (voice category, program number, and
bank number) select the voice used to play the phrase. The
screen also displays the selected voice’s name.
The voice category selects the general voice class, as given
by the Bank Select MSB (the most significant byte of the
Bank Select value).
The program number selects the voice within the category.
The bank number(or Bank Select LSB) can be used to se-
lect one of the alternative voices assigned to the program
number. This value is effective only with respect to voices
in the “normal” category; the value is fixed at 000 for all
other categories.

Voice category
Normal voice (Bank Select MSB = 000).
SFX voice (Bank Select MSB = 064). This type of
SFX voice (sound-effects voice) has the same char-
acter over the full range of the keyboard, but differ-
ent keys produce the sound in different pitches (as
with a normal voice).
SFX kit (Bank Select MSB = 126). This type of
voice exists as a collection of different sounds, so
that each key produces a different kind of sound
effect.
Drum voice (Bank Select MSB = 127). As with the
SFX kit, each key produces a different type of drum
sound. Note that these sounds cannot be changed
directly by editing.
Program number
001,...,128
Bank number
000,...,127

tings, refer to the QY700 Reference Listings.
8. Source chord
This value sets the phrase’s original key (the key and chord
value under which the phrase was originally played). The
QY700 takes this value into account when executing chord
conversions on the phrase.
You can set this value only when recording a new user
phrase. Be sure to set the value correctly; an incorrect set-
ting may make it impossible for the QY700 to transpose the
phrase.
