6. High key • This setting determines the highest key that the chord root can take following transposition. The setting applies only to phrases of the following types: Mldy1, Chrd1, and Bass. • To transpose any of these phrase types, the QY700 normally shifts the root upwards by the number of semitones separating the source chord's root and the new chord's root. Because too large a shift upward can cause the phrase to lose its original character, however, the QY700 will automatically shift downward, by one octave, any transposition that would move to a root higher than the value set here. 0101 1101 C,...,B 7. Voice category, program number, bank number, and voice name • The first three values (voice category, program number, and bank number) select the voice used to play the phrase. The screen also displays the selected voice's name. • The voice category selects the general voice class, as given by the Bank Select MSB (the most significant byte of the Bank Select value). • The program number selects the voice within the category. • The bank number (or Bank Select LSB) can be used to se- lect one of the alternative voices assigned to the program number. This value is effective only with respect to voices in the "normal" category; the value is fixed at 000 for all other categories. 0101 1101 Voice category Normal voice (Bank Select MSB = 000). SFX voice (Bank Select MSB = 064). This type of SFX voice (sound-effects voice) has the same character over the full range of the keyboard, but different keys pro- duce the sound in different pitches (as with a normal voice). SFX kit (Bank Select MSB = 126). This type of voice exists as a collection of different sounds, so that each key produces a different kind of sound effect. Drum voice (Bank Select MSB = 127). As with the SFX kit, each key produces a different type of drum sound. Note that these sounds cannot be changed directly by editing. Program number 001,...,128 Bank number 000,...,127 • For more information above voice and bank settings, refer to Chapter 1. (→ p.43) • For a listing of voice names, voice numbers, and bank settings, refer to the QY700 Reference Listings. 1. PATCH 8. Source chord • This value shows the phrase's original key (the key and chord value under which the phrase was originally played). The QY700 uses this value as the basis for executing chord conversions on the phrase. • You can set this value only when recording a new user phrase. Be sure to set the value correctly, as an incorrect setting may lead to improper transpositions. 0101 1101 Chord root C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B (Where C is equivalent to D , etc.) Chord type M, M7, 6, 7, m, m7, m6, mM7, m7( 5), dim, aug, sus4, add9, M7(9), 6(9), 7(9), madd9, m7(9), m7(11), 7( 5), 7( 5), 7( 9), 7( 9), 7(13), 7( 13), 7sus4, 7( 11),--- (THRU) • For information about setting up chords, refer to Chapter 1.
