start and stop the replay, and to set the various replay pa-
rameters.
• You can switch into VOICE mode and make adjustments in
track voices and track balances while playback is in progress.

data), you can use the auto-accompaniment feature as back-
ground for normal keyboard play. (

• If you start song replay from a point other than the begin-

problem by moving the start point to a measure at which a
full pattern change occurs.

2. Pattern setup
• This parameter determines whether the QY700 uses the pat-
tern effects (the effects set up within each pattern) during
song replay.
• If you set this to OFF, the QY700 will not use the pattern
effects. Instead, it uses the effects that you have selected
under the EFFECT mode.
• If you set this to ON, the QY700 uses the effects set up
within the current pattern. In this case, the pattern’s effect
settings overwrite the EFFECT-mode settings. The EFFECT-
mode settings therefore changes each time the pattern
changes.
