• Before starting actual recording, you must set the relevant recording parameters at the Recording Standby screen. 1. Go to the PATCH screen (→ p.200) and select the phrase number for the user phrase that you want to record. (The "phrase number" consists of the prefix US followed by a sequential number.) 2. Press e to move to the Recording Standby screen. 3. Set the recording parameters (phrase length, retrigger, and so on) and select the recording mode (4 (REPLACE), 5 (OVERDUB), or 6 (STEP)). 4. Press p to begin recording. w The PLAY indicator comes on (either solid or blinking). 5. When you are finished, press s to stop recording and return to the PATCH screen. 6. Edit or otherwise manipulate the recording results using Phrase Edit (→ p.254) and pattern jobs (→ p.256). 7. When you are satisfied with the results, store the recorded phrase to disk. (→ p.307) • If you press e while in Recording Standby, the QY700 returns to the PATCH screen. 1. Phrase number; phrase name • The phrase is identified by its phrase number. You select the number at the PATCH screen. (→ p.200) • You can use the Phrase Name pattern job to assign the phrase an arbitrary phrase name. (→ p.279) 2. Length • This parameter sets the length (in measures) for the phrase. • The maximum phrase length is equivalent to the length of the currently selected pattern (the "of" value appearing in the upper right box area on the display.) 0101 1101 001,...,pattern length (where maximum pattern length = 256) 5. Phrase Recording 3. Phrase type • The TYPE value selects the kind of chord conversion used when modulating (transposing) the phrase. Different type settings result in different conversion results, as follows. • The "Melody" types (Mdly1, Mldy2) generate relatively slight, subtle changes in the playback sound. • The "Chord" types (Chrd1, Chrd2) generate relatively large changes in the playback sound. • For Mldy1 and Chrd1 transpositions, the QY700 first converts the original phrase line according to the chord type, and then transposes according to the chord root. For Mldy2 and Chrd2 transpositions, the QY700 remains closer to the original sound, so that chord changes are somewhat smoother. • The Bass type is designed for bass phrases. For these phrases, the QY700 always produces the root note at the start of any chord change. In addition, transposition is always according to the target chord's on-bass or original-bass setting (if any). • Use the Bypas (Bypass) setting if you do not want the phrase to be converted at all. In this case, the phrase bypasses the conversion process and plays out in its original sound. • The Para (parallel) type transposes by root only; the chord type is ignored. This is useful for phrases that contain implicit internal chord changes, since type conversion in this case may produce unpredictable or clashing results. 0101 1101 Mldy1, Mldy2, Chrd1, Chrd2, Bass, Bypas, Para 5 4. Retrigger • This setting determines how the phrase responds to chord changes that occur while the phrase is already playing. If the setting is OFF, the phrase switches off when the chord change occurs. If ON, the QY700 transposes the phrase (in accordance with the chord-conversion parameters) and continues the playback. 0101 1101 OFF, ON Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE 249
