The QY70 - An Overview Sequencer Functions The QY70 sequencer has 16 "normal" sequencer tracks to which you can individually assign any of the internal voices and record either via the QY70's own micro keyboard or an external keyboard connected to the QY70 MIDI IN connector. In the "replace" real- - Yamaha QY70 | Owner's Manual - Page 9
accompaniments for any type of music. Accompa- niments are produced by specifying a sequence of "patterns" to be played rather than by recording individual notes or chords. The QY70 provides 128 preset accompaniment "styles", and memory for up to 64 original user "styles" that you can record - Yamaha QY70 | Owner's Manual - Page 10
. You can assign any of these voices to the sequencer tracks and patterns, or play them from an external keyboard or other MIDI controller via the MIDI interface, or directly from a personal computer. The QY70 also features a high-quality internal DSP (Digital Signal Processor) system which provides - Yamaha QY70 | Owner's Manual - Page 11
