Appendix S Section: A term referring to each of the six types of patterns that comprise a style. Patterns are selected by specifying the style and the section. Send level: The amount of signal that is sent to a specified bus line for processing by an effect. The amount of signal that is returned from the effect is the "return level". Sequencer: A block (or device) that records, edits, modifies, and plays back a musical performance in the form of MIDI messages. Sequencer tracks: Tracks which record and playback normal MIDI sequence data. The QY100 has 16 sequencer tracks. SmartMedia: SmartMedia (a trademark of Toshiba Corporation) refers to memory cards conforming to SSFDC Forum specifications (SSFDC stands for "Solid State Floppy Disk Card"). The SSFDC Forum is an organization that develops and defines the standards for these memory cards. SMF: See the entry for Standard MIDI File. Solo: This function mutes the playback of all tracks except that of the selected track as long as the track is soloed. Song: A musical composition created by recording performance data on each track. Standard MIDI File (SMF): SMF is an acronym for Standard MIDI File; a standard format that was created to allow easy exchange of song data between different sequencers. Most of today's software and hardware manufacturers provide sequencers that can create and play back Standard MIDI files. Step recording: The method of recording in which music is input by entering notes one by one, specifying the note length, velocity, and pitch etc. of each note. Style: A collective name for pattern catagories (hip hop, hard rock, etc. musical genres). Styles are divided into six sections (intro, fill-in, ending, etc.). Sustain level: The volume level of the note from the time after the maximum level of the note is reached, until the note played on the keyboard is released. Swing: Refers to a type of rhythm or "groove" which, at the extreme, can apply a triplet feel to 8th or 16th note patterns - as in "swing jazz". Subtler applications of swing can be used to give rhythmic patterns a more "bouncy" feel. Synchronization: The function or process of matching the playback or recording tempo of a device with a separated, external device such as another sequencer or a rhythm machine. Sync: See Synchronization System (effect): An effect which can be applied to all parts (tracks) by adjusting the Send Levels and Return Level. System effects allow reverb or chorus to be conveniently applied to the overall music. The QY100 provides Reverb and Chorus as system effects. The Variation effect can also be used as a system effect. System Exclusive Message: A type of MIDI message used to exchange data unique to a specific model or type of device. 282

Appendix
S
Section:
A term referring to each of the six types of
patterns that comprise a style. Patterns are
selected by specifying the style and the sec-
tion.
Send level:
The amount of signal that is sent to a speci-
fi
ed bus line for processing by an effect. The
amount of signal that is returned from the
effect is the
“
return level
”
.
Sequencer:
A block (or device) that records, edits, modi-
fi
es, and plays back a musical performance in
the form of MIDI messages.
Sequencer tracks:
Tracks which record and playback normal
MIDI sequence data. The QY100 has 16
sequencer tracks.
SmartMedia:
SmartMedia (a trademark of Toshiba Corpora-
tion) refers to memory cards conforming to
SSFDC Forum speci
fi
cations (SSFDC stands
for
“
Solid State Floppy Disk Card
”
). The
SSFDC Forum is an organization that devel-
ops and de
fi
nes the standards for these
memory cards.
SMF:
See the entry for Standard MIDI File.
Solo:
This function mutes the playback of all tracks
except that of the selected track as long as
the track is soloed.
Song:
A musical composition created by recording
performance data on each track.
Standard MIDI File (SMF):
SMF is an acronym for Standard MIDI File; a
standard format that was created to allow
easy exchange of song data between differ-
ent sequencers. Most of today
’
s software
and hardware manufacturers provide
sequencers that can create and play back
Standard MIDI
fi
les.
Step recording:
The method of recording in which music is
input by entering notes one by one, specify-
ing the note length, velocity, and pitch etc. of
each note.
Style:
A collective name for pattern catagories (hip
hop, hard rock, etc. musical genres). Styles
are divided into six sections (intro,
fi
ll-in, end-
ing, etc.).
Sustain level:
The volume level of the note from the time
after the
maximum level of the note is
reached, until the note played on the key-
board is released.
Swing:
Refers to a type of rhythm or
“
groove
”
which, at the extreme, can apply a triplet feel
to 8th or 16th note patterns
—
as in
“
swing
jazz
”
. Subtler applications of swing can be
used to give rhythmic patterns a more
“
bouncy
”
feel.
Synchronization:
The function or process of matching the play-
back or recording tempo of a device with a
separated, external device such as another
sequencer or a rhythm machine.
Sync:
See Synchronization
System (effect):
An effect which can be applied to all parts
(tracks) by adjusting the Send Levels and
Return Level. System effects allow reverb or
chorus to be conveniently applied to the over-
all music. The QY100 provides Reverb and
Chorus as system effects. The Variation
effect can also be used as a system effect.
System Exclusive Message:
A type of MIDI message used to exchange
data unique to a speci
fi
c model or type of
device.
