Getting to Know the QY20: How the Controls Work
When programming the
accompaniment tracks the
micro-keyboard is also used
to specify the chord roots and
types to be entered.
This tiny 2-octave keyboard makes it possible to program the QY20
anywhere, anytime, without having to connect an external MIDI key-
board. It’s even polyphonic, so you can directly enter chords as well
as single notes. The only thing it lacks is velocity sensitivity. The
QY20 does, however, accept velocity information from an external
MIDI keyboard.
