5. Phrase Recording Realtime Recording pPATCH e Recording Standby 4 Replace 5 Overdub • You use this recording method when you want to input your phrase in real time. You can input the phrase directly either at the microkeybaord, or else through a remote MIDI keyboard or other such MIDI device. Or you can record (copy) a phrase from a computer or from another sequencer. • The QY700 offers two realtime phrase recording methods: 4 (REPLACE) and 5 (OVERDUB). • You use the 4 (REPLACE) method when you want to create a entirely new phrase or overwrite an existing phrase. This method erases any data already existing in the selected phrase. • You use 5 (OVERDUB) when you want to overdub new data onto the phrase's existing data. This allows you to build up a complex, multilayered phrases. 1. Starting from the PATCH screen, press e. • The QY700 displays the Recording Standby page. The RECORDING indicator comes on. 2. Press 4 (REPLACE) or 5 (OVERDUB) to select the recording method. 3. Press p to begin recording. w The PLAY indicator begins flashing. The QY700 counts out the specified number of lead-in measures (as set by the COUNT parameter; see page 78), and then starts recording. • The QY700 loops over the recording area until you press s to stop, so that you can record multiple layers in a single session. The QY700 starts recording at measure 1, continues to the final measure of the phrase, then jumps back to measure 1 and begins another round. If you input an incorrect note, you can remove it on a subsequent round by holding down s together with the same note key - hold both of these keys down as the recording passes the point where the original (bad) note was entered. 4. When you have finished recording, press s to return to the PATCH screen. • You can use pattern job 00 (UNDO/REDO) to cancel a recording that you have just made. This allows you to recover data that you have inadvertently over-recorded. (→ p.259) • Remember to set other appropriate parameters (such as tempo, click beat, click mode, and count; see page 78) before beginning the recording. • If you input your recording using the microkeyboard, the velocity for each note is set to 88( f ). If you want true recording of velocity values, enter the data from a remote MIDI keyboard. 252 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE
