Yamaha QY 300 Recording Equipment User Manual


 
If there is no data in
the pattern track
(sequencer-track data
only) and no Ending section or
end-of-song marker is encoun-
tered, playback will stop auto-
matically when the end of the
sequencer-track data is reached.
If the pattern track contains
data and no Ending section or
end-of-song marker is encoun-
tered, playback will continue
until stopped by pressing the
key.
Style Number and Section
Any style number from 001 through 100 can be entered for each measure. The
style name appears to the right of the style number. Only one pattern (style &
section) can entered per measure, and that pattern will begin playing from the
beginning of the measure at which it is entered.
A pattern entered once will continue to play until a different pattern is
entered. If you want to change sections without changing the style number,
only the pattern need be entered.
In the example display below the intro section of style 001 plays for the
first measure, the MAIN A section of the same style is selected in measure 2.
Time Signature
Although the original time signature for the selected pattern is automatically
selected, the time signature value for each measure can be changes as required.
The available time signatures are:
1/16 ... 16/16
l/8 ... 16/8
1/4
... 8/4
If a time signature is selected that results in shorter measures than the pattern
default, the pattern will be truncated (cut short) accordingly. If the selected
time signature results in longer measures than the pattern default, the pattern
will be repeated to fill the specified measure length.
End-of-Song Marker
By moving the cursor to the “End” block and pressing the
[+1/YES]
key you
can enter an end-of-song marker which will cause playback to stop at the end
of the corresponding measure (in the example display, below, playback will
stop at the end of the 24th measure). This allows you to stop playback at any
point without having to use an Ending section.
