7: Recording Original Songs (continued)
6 Record the Required Section, Pattern and Other Changes
Once the chord progression has been recorded as required, you can go back and overdub section, pattern, and other changes
(even more chord changes) to finish up your song.
DETAIL
If the CHORD PROGRESSION function is cancelled by pressing the [START/STOP] button before all
chords have been entered, the remaining chords will be entered at eighth-note intervals.
The Song Clear & Copy Functions
Song Clear
The SONG mode CLEAR function completely erases the selected “user” song. If you want to save the song data before
clearing the song from the QR10 memory to make room for new material, use the MIDI BULK DUMP function, described on
page 43, to transfer the song data to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.
1 Select a Song
Select the song you want to clear (only song numbers 50 through 99 can be cleared).
2 Engage the CLEAR Function
Press the [CLEAR] key (the number “3” key)
while holding the [SHIFT] key.
3 Select the Track(s) to Clear
You can clear the MELODY and accompaniment tracks independently by selecting the appropriate tracks prior to execut-
ing the clear function. The accompaniment tracks — CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, RHYTHM — are selected as a group.
4 Press [START/STOP] to Clear
Press the [START/STOP] key to actually clear
the selected song, or [EXIT] to exit from the
CLEAR function.
CAUTION
Turning the QR10 power OFF during execution of the clear or copy function may result in loss
of all data and possibly damage the QR10!
IMPORTANT
Any previous data in the specified song location will be completely erased. Make sure that
the song number to be cleared does not contain any data you want to keep before executing the CLEAR
function. Data can be saved prior to clearing by moving it to a different song number with the COPY
function, described below, or by transferring it to an external MIDI data storage device such as the
Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer by using the MIDI BULK DUMP function (page 43).
