Patterns — Part 1: Accompaniment Basics
Selecting & Playing Patterns
Although you’ll normally use the PATTERN mode when creating new styles
(page 74), the PATTERN mode is also useful when you want to listen to
individual phrases and experiment with chord changes using the QY300’s
advanced ABC capability.
1
Select the STYLE Mode
In order to select and play the styles as described in this section you must be in
the QY300 PATTERN mode. Press the
[PATTERN]
mode key to select the
PATTERN mode.
2
Select a Style Number
Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the style number, then use any data
entry method to select the style you want to play. The styles are numbers 001
through 100 (the currently selected section is shown in the square brackets to
the right of the style name).
3
Start Playback
Press the
[
©
]
key to start playback of the selected style and section. The play
indicator will appear in the display and the green LED above the
[
©
]
key will
flash at the current playback tempo.
4
Listen to the Sections
Each style can have 8 sections — INTRO, MAIN A, MAIN B, FILL AA,
FILL BB, FILL AB, FILL BA, and ENDING.
INTRO
Introduction. When used in a song the introduction will automatically
be followed by the MAIN A section unless another section is specified.
MAIN A
The main section, generally used for the “verse” of a song.
MAIN B
A variation on the main section which can be used as a chorus or bridge.
FILL AA
Fill-in for the MAIN A section.
FILL BB
Fill-in for the MAIN B section.
FILL AB
Fill-in transition from MAIN A to MAIN B. MAIN B will automati-
cally be selected after the fill-in.
FILL BA
Fill-in transition from MAIN B to MAIN A. MAIN A will automati-
cally be selected after the fill-in.
ENDING
Ending pattern. When used in a song, playback will stop when the
ending section finishes.
Note that the “Meas”
(measure) number on
the display includes two
numbers: e.g. “1of4”. The first
number is the current measure
number and the second is the to-
tal number of measures in the
pattern (patterns can be up to 8
measures long). “2of4”, there-
fore, means that the second
measure of a 4-measure pattern
is currently playing.
