Making Voice-to-Track Assignments —————————————————
4 The VOICE Mode: Selecting, Playing, & Assigning the QY22 Voices & Drums
When you record accompaniments ( page 52) or complete songs (
page 108) in the SONG mode, you’ll need to specify which voices are to be
played by which tracks. These assignments are made in the VOICE mode.
To assign voices to the sequencer and accompaniment tracks, simply move
the cursor to the voice number of the desired track, then use the
[
1/NO
]
and
[
+1/YES
]
keys to select the voice (or drum kit) for that track.
DETAIL
When a different pattern is selected in the SONG mode, the voice assignments
for that pattern are automatically recalled, overriding any voice assignments
made in the VOICE mode (the pan and volume settings are not changed).
In the VOICE mode, any of the Normal voices (001...128) or Drum voices
(Dr1...Dr8) can be assigned to any of the sequence tracks. However, in the
SONG EDIT mode, only the Normal voices (001...128) can be assigned to
sequencer tracks using the Program Change function. If you want to use a
Drum voice in a sequencer track, use the VOICE mode to assign a Drum voice
to the desired track.
The mute “buttons” below the voice number for each track can be used to
mute (turn off) the corresponding track. Move the cursor to the appropriate
mute button, then press
[
+1/YES
]
to mute that track, or press
[
1/NO
]
to
turn a muted track back on.
The letter “M” appears in the mute buttons of tracks that are muted.
Tracks that do not contain data cannot be muted, and their mute buttons
appear as white rather than dark blocks. In the display to the left, for exam-
ple, TR1 through TR4 contain no data and are therefore white. The Ba track
has been muted, and the cursor is currently over the C2 track mute button.
