Selecting & Playing Patterns

Note that the “Meas” (measure) number on the display includes two

numbers: e.g. “1of4”. The first number is the current measure number and the second is the total number of measures in the pattern (patterns can be up to 8 measures long). “2of4”, there- fore, means that the second measure of a 4-measure pattern is currently playing.

Although you’ll normally use the PATTERN mode when creating new styles (page 74), the PATTERN mode is also useful when you want to listen to individual phrases and experiment with chord changes using the QY300’s advanced ABC capability.

Select the STYLE Mode

In order to select and play the styles as described in this section you must be in the QY300 PATTERN mode. Press the [PATTERN] mode key to select the PATTERN mode.

Select a Style Number

Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the style number, then use any data entry method to select the style you want to play. The styles are numbers 001 through 100 (the currently selected section is shown in the square brackets to the right of the style name).

Start	Playback
Press the	key to start playback of the selected style and section. The play
indicator will appear in the display and the green LED above the		key will
flash at the current playback tempo.

Listen to the Sections

Each style can have 8 sections — INTRO, MAIN A, MAIN B, FILL AA,

FILL BB, FILL AB, FILL BA, and ENDING.

INTRO	Introduction, When used in a song the introduction will automatically
	be followed by the MAIN A section unless another section is specified.

MAIN A	The main section, generally used for the “verse” of a song.
MAIN B	A variation on the main section which can be used as a chorus or bridge.
FILL AA	Fill-in for the MAIN A section.
FILL BB	Fill-in for the MAIN B section.
FILL AB	Fill-in transition from MAIN A to MAIN B. MAIN B will automati-
	cally be selected after the fill-in.
FILL BA	Fill-in transition from MAIN B to MAIN A. MAIN A will automati-
	cally be selected after the fill-in.
ENDING	Ending pattern when used in a song, playback will stop when the
	ending section finishes.
