1. PATCH 12. Track status • You can choose to mute out one or more tracks, or to set one or more tracks to SOLO play. An mark appears to indicate that a track is muted; an mark indicates that it is set to SOLO. • If you set one or more tracks to SOLO, the QY700 automatically switches off playback from all other tracks. (The track-number borders change appearance to indicate the tracks that are temporarily switched off.) • During playback, the track-status area operates as a velocity meter that monitors the playback level of each track in real time. 4. You can also use the solo feature to select multiple tracks "solo", so that only the selected tracks are produced (with all other tracks silent). Begin by setting one of the tracks to SOLO as described above. Then move to each of the other tracks and press s+s. • To cancel all of these solo selections at once : Move the cursor to any one of the tracks, and press s. To switch off only one of the solo selections : Move to the corresponding track, and press s+s. 13. Scale time 1. Select a non-empty track by pressing u/ d or the up or down cursor key. 2. To mute the track: Press m once, so that the appears. To release a mute: Press m once again. 3. To set the track to SOLO: Press s, so that the appears. To deselect SOLO: Press s once again. • You can easily use this feature to listen to your tracks one by one. Begin by playing one of the tracks solo, then move the cursor to select the next track, then press s again. Note that each time you press s, any previous SOLO selection is automatically canceled. • You use this value to speed up or slow down the playing speed of the phrases on the corresponding track. The scaletime value acts as a multiplier. • If the meter is set to 4/4, for example, then setting the scale time to 50% compresses the meter to 2/4, while setting it to 75% compresses the meter to 3/4. A 150% scale time expands the meter to 6/4; a 200% time expands it to 8/4. • Note timing also changes accordingly. At 50% scale, a quarter note in the original phrase converts into into an eighth note; at 66%, into a quarter-note triplet; at 75%, into a dotted eighth; at 133%, into a quarter plus eighth-triplet; at 150%, into a dotted quarter; at 200%, into a half note. • This scaling feature makes it easy to set up complex rhythms within your patterns. 0101 1101 050%, 066%, 075%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200% 206 Chapter 5.
