73Chapter 2. SONG MODE

2
You use SONG PLAY mode to select songs for replay, to
start and stop the replay, and to set the various replay pa-
rameters.
You can switch into VOICE mode and make adjustments in
track voices and track balances while playback is in progress.
By selecting playback of an empty song (a song without
data), you can use the auto-accompaniment feature as back-
ground for normal keyboard play. ( p.106)
SONG PLAY includes eight submodes. Y ou can switch from
SONG PLAY into any of these submodes by pressing the
appropriate key, as follows.
1(PlayFx) Move to Play Effects submode. ( p.80)
2(TrView) Move to Track View submode. ( p.100)
3(OutCh.) Move to Output Channel submode.

(SMF save). ( p.307)

1. Press s.
The indicator above the key comes on, and the QY700 en-
ters SONG mode (SONG PLAY).
2. Move the cursor onto the song number on the screen,
and select the song using the data dial, n/y, or the
numeric keypad.
3. Press p to start playback.
The PLAY indicator comes on, and playback begins.
4. To stop the playback, press s.
If you start song replay from a point other than the begin-
ning, you may find that some of the song’s PATTERN-
track and CHORD-track data drops out. You can solve the
problem by moving the start point to a measure at which a
full pattern change occurs.
1. Song number and name
You use the song number to select a song for playback or
recording.
The screen displays the song name (if any) directly to the
right of the song number.
To set or change the song name, you use the SONG NAME
job ( p.165).
0101
1101
Song no.: 01,...,20
1. Move the cursor onto the song number on the screen.
2. Select a song number using the data dial, n/y, or
the numeric keypad.
2. Pattern setup
This parameter determines whether the QY700 uses the pat-
tern effects (the effects set up within each pattern) during
song replay.
If you set this to OFF, the QY700 will not use the pattern
effects. Instead, it uses the effects that you have selected
under the EFFECT mode.
If you set this to ON, the QY700 uses the effects set up
within the current pattern. In this case, the pattern’s effect
settings overwrite the EFFECT-mode settings. The EFFECT-
mode settings therefore changes each time the pattern
changes.
