About modes
• The many functions of the QY700 are grouped by type into
modes, sub-modes, and pages (see the diagram below).
When operating the QY700, you will arrive at the desired
function by first selecting the mode, then the sub-mode, and
finally the page.
• Modes are the largest division of functions. Use the Mode
buttons to switch between modes.
• Sub-modes are broad divisions of the functions within each
mode. If the bottom line of the display shows a menu shaped
like buttons, you can press the corresponding function but-
ton to select the desired sub-mode. In some cases, you will
enter a sub-mode by pressing the
s
,
e
, or
j
keys.
• Pages contain groups of related parameters within a sub-
mode. If the bottom line of the sub-mode display shows a
tab-shaped menu, you can press the corresponding function
button to switch pages. In some sub-modes, you can select
sub-pages within a page, or move to a special page to make
settings.
• The following example shows the Song (mode) Play Effect
(sub-mode) Groove Quantize (page) display.
