Yamaha QY 300 Recording Equipment User Manual


 
The Pan Pots
The pan pots actually
cover a ±7 range relative
to their default positions,
so they may not always go from
full left to full right.
The Faders
You can switch back
and forth between the
SONG and VOICE
modes even while a song is
playing, so you can adjust all
VOICE mode parameters
(change voices, mute tracks,
pan, and change volume set-
tings) while listening to the re-
suits in real time!
Reverb
The voice parameters in
this display can be used
to change voice assign-
ments in the same way as in the
Mixer display.
Like the pan pots on a mixing console, the voice display pan pots can be used
to position the sound of the corresponding track anywhere from left to right in
the stereo sound field. Position the cursor at the pan pot, then use any data
entry method to set the pan position. The graphic pan pot will rotate to the
corresponding position. The pan positions also have numeric values (1 through
7) that appear in the upper right corner of the display: “Left 7” is full left and
“Right 7” is full right (see “DETAIL”, below). Hold the
[SHIFT]
key while
setting a pan pot to change the settings of all pan pots by the same amount.
Each track has a graphic “fader” that can be set to produce the best “mix”
(balance) between the various voices. Position the cursor at a fader, then use
any data entry method to set the fader level. The graphic fader will move to the
corresponding position (higher for higher volume, and lower for lower vol-
ume). The fader positions also have numeric values (000 through 127) that
appear in the upper right corner of the display: “000” is minimum volume (no
sound) and “127” is maximum volume. The default setting is “100” for all
tracks. Hold the
[SHIFT]
key while setting a fader to change the settings of all
faders by the same amount. The leftmost fader is a “master” fader which can
be used to adjust the overall volume level (including the pattern track).
The QY300 features an internal digital signal processor which can be used to
apply high-quality reverb and similar effects to the sequencer-track voices. In
the voice mode press the [F2] function key (“Reverb”) to see the reverb
controls.
