Yamaha QY700 1. Track numbers, track name, and keyboard-track setting

84 Chapter 2. SONG MODE
• Each groove template is divided into equal quantizing in-
tervals: eighth-note intervals, eighth-note triplet intervals,
sixteenth-note intervals, or some other such value. On the
Groove View page, these intervals are represented by a grid
pattern.
• The quantizing template sets separate adjustment values for
each interval, allowing for subtle but swinging nuances. For
example, the template might increase the gate times and
velocities in the first half of the first beat, while delaying
the timing of notes that occur in the second half of the sec-
ond beat.
• You can create your own user templates by copying any of
the preset templates, then adjusting the various values to
create your own customized variations.
