18. Velocity offset
• You use this parameter to apply an offset to the track’s rate-
adjusted velocity values. Note that the offset is applied af-
ter the VELOCITY RATE adjustment described above.
• Positive values increase the playback velocity, while nega-
tive values decrease it.

1. Move the cursor to the VELOCITY OFFSET line of the
track you want to set.
2. Set the value using the data dial, the n/y key, or
the numeric keypad.
• The VELOCITY OFFSET (described here) and the VELOC-
ITY RATE (described above) work together to determine
the actual adjustment applied to the track’s velocities. The
relation is:
Playback velocity =(original velocity × VELOCITY RATE)
+ VELOCITY OFFSET.
• If an adjusted velocity is less than 1, the QY700 automati-
cally uses a velocity of 1.
• If an adjusted velocity is greater than 127, the QY700 uses
127.
