2. Play Effects • Each groove template is divided into equal quantizing intervals: eighth-note intervals, eighth-note triplet intervals, sixteenth-note intervals, or some other such value. On the Groove View page, these intervals are represented by a grid pattern. • The quantizing template sets separate adjustment values for each interval, allowing for subtle but swinging nuances. For example, the template might increase the gate times and velocities in the first half of the first beat, while delaying the timing of notes that occur in the second half of the second beat. • You can create your own user templates by copying any of the preset templates, then adjusting the various values to create your own customized variations. s Setting the Groove Quantize Parameters 1. From the SONG PLAY screen, press 1 (PlayFx). w The QY700 enters the Play Effects submode. 2. Press 1 (Groove). w The Groove Quantize page appears. 3. Press u or d as necessary to select the track you want to work on. • Note that a single screen can only display 16 tracks (tracks 1 to 16, or tracks 17 to 32). You can toggle between these two groupings by pressing 6. 4. Move the cursor to the TEMPLATE line. 5. Select the template using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. 6. Move the cursor to each of the parameters you want to change, and set the new value using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. 7. When you have finished making changes, press e to return to the SONG PLAY screen. s Viewing or Creating a Groove Template 1. From the Groove Quantize page, press 4 (GrovView). w The QY700 displays the Groove View page. 2. Press u or d as necessary to select the appropriate track. • Each screen displays 16 tracks (tracks 1 to 16, or tracks 17 to 32). You can toggle between these two groupings by pressing 6. 3. Move the cursor to the TEMPLATE setting. Select the template using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. 4. If you have selected the user template (US), you can now set the desired quantizing interval. To do so, move the cursor to the QNT VALUE line, then set the interval using the data dial, or n/y. • Note that it is not possible to change the Quantize Value on the preset templates (templates 1 to 100). 5. Now move the cursor to any parameter line or (if US template) to any of the parameters in the grid area, and adjust as necessary using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. 6. When you have finished making changes, press e to return to the Groove Quantize page. 7. Press e again to return to the SONG PLAY screen. • You can change the template and the template parameter values even while song playback is in progress. 1. Track numbers, track name, and keyboard-track setting • Each sequence track is identified by a track number. • The highlighted track number selects the track for quantization editing. It also selects the keyboard track - the track that connects internally to the QY700's keyboard/ controller section. • The upper right of the screen indicates the selected track, both by its number and by its name. You can set up your own track names from within SONG EDIT mode. (→ p.132) 0101 1101 1,...,32 84 Chapter 2. SONG MODE
