The step record mode lets you record extremely fast or complex passages that would be impossible to play in real time. q The Accompaniment Tracks The remaining four tracks are dedicated to producing accompaniment: the chord 1 and chord 2 tracks, a bass track, and a drum track. The accompaniment tracks differ from the sequencer tracks in 2 ways: 1. Accompaniments are produced by specifying a sequence of pat- terns to be played rather than by recording individual notes or chords (➪ page 52). The QY20 has 100 preset patterns that you can simply select and use, and can store up to 100 original patterns you create in the PATTERN mode (➪ page 78). 10

The QY20: What It Is & What It Can Do
●
The Sequencer Tracks
The QY20 sequencer has 4 “normal” sequencer tracks to
which you can individually assign any of the 100 internal
voices (or 8 drum kits if desired), and record just about any-
thing you like either via the QY20’s own
micro keyboard
or
an external keyboard connected to the QY20 MIDI IN connec-
tor. You can use the
real-time record
mode (
page 109) so
that the QY20 records exactly what you play as you play it, or
the
step record
mode (
page 115) in which notes can be en-
tered one at a time. The step record mode lets you record ex-
tremely fast or complex passages that would be impossible to
play in real time.
The remaining four tracks are dedicated to producing accompani-
ment: the
chord 1
and
chord 2
tracks, a
bass track
, and a
drum
track
. The accompaniment tracks differ from the sequencer tracks in
2 ways:
1.
Accompaniments are produced by specifying a sequence of
pat-
terns
to be played rather than by recording individual notes or
chords (
page 52). The QY20 has 100 preset patterns that you
can simply select and use, and can store up to 100 original pat-
terns you create in the PATTERN mode (
page 78).
