Setting Up Your System

What you will connect the QY300 to, and what you will connect to the QY300, will depend entirely on your individual requirements. A few examples are provided below to help you get started.

The Connectors

MIDI IN & OUT Connectors

If you plan to use a MIDI keyboard or other instrument to play and program the QY300, it should be connected to QY300 MIDI IN connector (see “MIDI Connections,” below). The MIDI OUT connector can be connected to an external tone generator or synthesizer if you want to drive external voices from the QY300 sequencer.

L/MONO & R OUTPUT Jacks

These are the main stereo outputs from the QY300’s internal tone generator system (see “Audio Connections,” below). Both are standard 1/4” mono phone plugs. When a plug is inserted into only the L/MONO output, the left- and right-channels signals are mixed and delivered via that output to allow direct connection to mono sound systems. The output level is adjusted via the VOL-

UME control page 7).

PHONES Jack

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The PHONES output level is adjusted via the VOLUME control.

DC IN Jack

The DC output cable from the Yamaha PA-1207 AC Power Adaptor supplied with the QY300 is plugged in here.
