Yamaha QY 300 Recording Equipment User Manual


 
The voice parameters
in these displays can
be used to change
voice assignments in the same
way as in the Mixer display.
Since track 10 is only used for
drums and drums are not
pitched voices, no tuning
fader is provided for the drum
track in either the coarse or
fine tuning displays.
The tuning settings apply
only to the QY300’s
internal voices — i.e.
they will not affect the sound of
an external tone generator or syn-
thesizer being driven by the
QY300.
The faders in the coarse tuning display individually tune the corresponding
tracks over 4-octave range (±2 octaves) in semitone increments, while those in
the fine tuning display tune the corresponding tracks over approximately a
whole tone (±1 semitone) in one-cent increments (100 cents = 1 semitone)
Position the cursor at a fader, then use any data entry method to set the coarse
or fine tuning as required. The graphic fader will move to the corresponding
position (above center when tuning up and below center when tuning down).
The fader positions also have numeric values that appear in the upper right
corner of the display: in the coarse tuning display the range is from “-24”
(down two octaves) through “00” (standard pitch) to “+24” (up two octaves).
In the fine tuning display the range is from “–100” (down a semitone through
“00’ (standard pitch) to “+99” (up a semitone). Hold the
[SHIFT]
key while
setting a fader to change the settings of all faders by the same amount.
Pitch Bend Range
The pitch bend range display makes it possible to individually set the pitch
bend range of the sequencer tracks — a valuable feature when programming
the QY300 from an external keyboard or other controller which has a pitch
bend wheel.
In the voice mode press the
[F5]
function key (“PbRang”) to access the
pitch bend range controls.
The voice parameters
in this display can be
used to change voice
assignments in the same way as
in the Mixer display.
Since track 10 is only used for
drums and drums are not
pitched voices, no pitch bend
range fader is provided for the
drum track.
