Chapter 1
7. Chord input methods
• This block explains how to input the chords in Song mode
or Pattern mode so that you can use the auto-accompani-
ment function.
Using Chord Root and Chord Type to input
chords
• You can use the symbols printed on the microkeyboard to
enter the Chord Root and Chord Type.
• For the Chord Root, use the E2 – D
3 keys to specify the
root of the chord.
• For the Chord Type, use the E3 – F4 keyboard buttons to
select from the 28 chord types printed on the buttons.
• By combining the Chord Root and Chord Type you can
specify 336 different chords. You can also specify On Bass
chords or Original Bass chords, for even more variation.
Using the Fingered Chord function to input
chords
• Fingered Chord is one of the functions included in auto-
accompaniment, that automatically detects the chord from
the combination of notes that you press on the keyboard, so
that the pattern or phrase is converted into that chord at the
time of playback.
• When the QY700’s fingered chord function is used, chords
that you play in the Fingered Chord Zone will be automati-
cally analyzed as a chord, and specified.
• It is also possible to use the microkeyboard below the Fin-
gered Chord Zone to specify the On Bass or the Original
Bass at the same time that you play the chord. A single note
that you play below the Fingered Chord Zone will be de-
tected and set as the On Bass, and a chord will be detected
as the Original Bass.
• The fingered chord function can be used not only from the
QY700’s microkeyboard, but also from a MIDI keyboard
connected to the MIDI IN connector.
Turning the Fingered Chord Zone on/off
• In order to use the fingered chord function to input chords,
you must first make Fingered Chord Zone settings in Util-
ity mode to specify the range of the keyboard in which this
function will operate. (→ p.299)
• A Fingered Chord function on/off setting is provided in the
Patch displays of Song Play and Pattern modes, and in the
Utility mode Fingered Chord Zone setting display. The set-
tings in these three displays are linked.
• When Fingered Chord is on (FINGRD), the keys below the
Zone High key of the fingered chord zone will no longer be
usable as conventional keys for performance or recording.
• When Fingered Chord is off (OFF), the fingered chord func-
tion will not operate, and you can input the Chord Root and
Chord Type using the symbols printed on the keyboard but-
tons.
