Yamaha QY 300 Pitch Bend Range

•The voice parameters in these displays can be used to change

voice assignments in the same way as in the Mixer display.

•Since track 10 is only used for drums and drums are not pitched voices, no tuning fader is provided for the drum track in either the coarse or fine tuning displays.

The tuning settings apply only to the QY300’s internal voices — i.e.

they will not affect the sound of an external tone generator or synthesizer being driven by the QY300.

The faders in the coarse tuning display individually tune the corresponding tracks over 4-octave range (±2 octaves) in semitone increments, while those in the fine tuning display tune the corresponding tracks over approximately a whole tone (±1 semitone) in one-cent increments (100 cents = 1 semitone) Position the cursor at a fader, then use any data entry method to set the coarse or fine tuning as required. The graphic fader will move to the corresponding position (above center when tuning up and below center when tuning down). The fader positions also have numeric values that appear in the upper right corner of the display: in the coarse tuning display the range is from “-24” (down two octaves) through “00” (standard pitch) to “+24” (up two octaves). In the fine tuning display the range is from “–100” (down a semitone through “00’ (standard pitch) to “+99” (up a semitone). Hold the [SHIFT] key while setting a fader to change the settings of all faders by the same amount.

Pitch Bend Range

•The voice parameters in this display can be

used to change voice assignments in the same way as in the Mixer display.

•Since track 10 is only used for drums and drums are not pitched voices, no pitch bend range fader is provided for the drum track.

The pitch bend range display makes it possible to individually set the pitch bend range of the sequencer tracks — a valuable feature when programming the QY300 from an external keyboard or other controller which has a pitch bend wheel.

In the voice mode press the [F5] function key (“PbRang”) to access the pitch bend range controls.
