The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do
●
The Sequencer Tracks
The QY22 sequencer has 4 “normal” sequencer tracks to
which you can individually assign any of the 128 internal
voices (or 8 drum kits if desired), and record just about any-
thing you like either via the QY22’s own micro keyboard or
an external keyboard connected to the QY22 MIDI IN connec-
tor. You can use the real-time record mode (
➪
page 109) so
that the QY22 records exactly what you play as you play it, or
the step record mode (
➪
page 115) in which notes can be en-
tered one at a time. The step record mode lets you record ex-
tremely fast or complex passages that would be impossible to
play in real time.
The remaining four tracks are dedicated to producing accompani-
ment: the chord 1 and chord 2 tracks, a bass track, and a drum
track. The accompaniment tracks differ from the sequencer tracks in
2 ways:
1.
Accompaniments are produced by specifying a sequence of pat-
terns to be played rather than by recording individual notes or
chords (
➪
page 52). The QY22 has 100 preset patterns that you
can simply select and use, and can store up to 100 original pat-
terns you create in the PATTERN mode (
➪
page 78).
