You use the Phrase Recording submode to make these recordings. • The QY700 offers two general recording methods: realtime recording and step recording. • With realtime recording, the QY700 operates as a tape recorder, recording the performance data as it is played. This allows you to catch all the nuances of an actual performance. • With step recording, you input the phrase one note at a time, almost as if you were writing the notes down on a music sheet. This allows you to create complex phrases without having to play them in real time at the keyboard. 1.
