83Chapter 2. SONG MODE
2
• You use the groove quantize (rhythm quantization) feature
to impart a swing, or “groove,” to the song data as it is played
back. The feature operates by making specified adjustments
in note-event timing, velocities, and gate times. Effective
use of this feature makes it possible to convert mechanical-
sounding song data into driving, meaningful music.
• The QY700 comes equipped with 100 preset groove tem-
plates, each corresponding to a different musical genre:
swing, beat rock, acid jazz, and so on. The QY700 also al-
lows you to create your own, customized templates (called
user templates).
• Each template contains data for quantizing one measure of
recorded data. Quantizing is executed by reapplying the tem-
plate values to each measure of the recorded track.
• Because you can select a different template for each track,
you can combine a wide variety of different rhythms within
a single song. You can also select how strongly each track’ s
template will act on the track’s data — so that it is possible
to get a wide range of different “grooves” even when using
the same template.
• You use the Groove View page to vie w the preset templates,
and to view or create your own user templates. The page
displays the template settings in an easy-to-follow graphi-
cal form.
2. Play Effects
Shows track number.
Shows name of selected track.
Selects track for editing.
Sets location (measure) for beginning of song playback, and in-
dicates current playback location.
Identifies the voice program, as selected under VOICE mode.
Sets the play effects ON or OFF for each track.
Sets the groove template, for each track.
Timing interval used as basis for quantization.
(Selectable in Groove View screen only if template type = US.)
Sets degree by which notes are pulled toward nearest quantizing
line.
Sets degree by which performance data’s original timing is af-
fected by the groove template.
Sets degree by which performance data’s gate timing is affected
by the groove template.
Sets degree by which performance data’s velocity values are af-
fected by the groove template.
Sets the dimensional unit for the groove template’s parameter set-
tings. The grid changes to match the selected quantization value.
Sets/shows final time shift applied after quantizing by template is
completed. (Value is in clock cycles.)
Sets gate-time adjustment at each interval, by percent.
Sets velocity offset at each interval.
