QY300 patterns are created by combining “phrases”— either preset or original — from the PHRASE mode. A phrase is simply an individual “part” of a pattern — e.g. a drum phrase, a bass phrase, a keyboard phrase, etc. — using a single voice. The QY300 has 2,000 preset phrases, and 100 memory locations for original creations. The PHRASE mode lets you both listen to the preset phrases and record original phrases. The phrases are actually combined to create complete patterns in the PATTERN mode.

The Preset Phrases

You can listen to the preset phrases in the PHRASE mode by simply selecting

a phrase and pressing the key.

The preset phrase numbers have four sections, as shown below. The cursor can be placed at any of these four sections to select as required.
