Fingered Zone
The QY70’s advanced ABC system can be controlled from the QY70
micro-keyboard or an external keyboard. The Fingered Zone utility function
sets the range of notes in which chords played will be recognized by the
QY70 ABC system.
Use the “FINGERED” parameter to turn the QY70’s Fingered Chord
function for the ABC system “On” or “Off” as required. When it is turned
to “ON”, the ABC system can be controlled by playing a chord as it is on
an external keyboard or the micro keyboard. When turned to “OFF”, the
ABC system is controlled by specifying the chord root and type from the
micro keyboard rather than playing the chord as it is. The MIDI CHANNEL
and the “LOW”/“HIGH” parameters explained below will be ineffective
when turned to “OFF”.
The MIDI CHANNEL parameter specifies the MIDI channel via which
the chord data will be received from an external MIDI keyboard: set to
“All” for all channels, or specify a single MIDI channel from “01” to “16”.
The “LOW” and “HIGH” parameters above the graphic keyboard
display set the Fingered Chord function range. The maximum range is from
C-2 to G8 (the “HIGH” parameter cannot be set lower than the “LOW”
parameter). The specified range is indicated by the highlighted (inverse)
section on the graphic keyboard display. When the “FINGERED” param-
eter in this display and the “FNGR” parameter in the SONG or PATTERN
mode display are turned “On”, chords played within the specified Fingered
Chord function range will be recognized by the ABC system and the
