Yamaha QY 300 Recording Equipment User Manual


 
Recording Original Phrases
The QY300 makes it easy to create original accompaniment phrases. In addi-
tion to the preset phrases, the QY300 has 100 phrase memory locations (US---
001 through US---100) which can be used to store your own creations. The
PHRASE mode provides two ways to create original phrases: realtime and step
recording.
Realtime Phrase Recording
In the realtime record mode you select the voice you want to record with, and
then play the part on the micro-keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard in real
time.
Select the PHRASE Mode & an Empty User Phrase
Press the
[PHRASE]
mode key to select the PHRASE mode, place the cursor
at the “category” section of the phrase number and select “US” (user), then
move the cursor to the phrase number and select an empty “user” phrase (the
programmable user phrases are numbered US---001 through US---100). Empty
phrases are indicated by a row of asterisks (“********”) following the phrase
number.
If for some reason all 100
user phrases contain data,
use the “Clear Phrase”
function described on page 102 to
clear a phrase for recording.
Engage the Record Ready Mode
