The Utility Mode The Utility Mode The QY300 utility mode includes a number of functions that are important for general operation - e.g. MIDI data handling, interfacing with external equipment, ABC system operation, and more. Press the [UTILITY] mode key to go to the UTILITY mode, then use the [F1], [F2], and [F3] function keys to select the system, input filter, or fingered zone parameters described below. Press the [F6] function key ("Exit") to exit from the UTILITY mode and return to the previously-engaged mode when done (you can also press any other mode key to go directly to the selected mode). System Parameters The UTILITY mode system parameters include master tuning and basic MIDI settings that are essential for communication with external equipment. To access the system parameters press the [F1] function key ("System") after engaging the UTILITY mode. s Master Tuning This parameter tunes the QY300 tone generator over approximately a whole tone range (± one semitone) in 1-cent increments (a "cent" is 1/100th of a semitone). The range is from "-99" through "+00" to "+99". A setting of "+00" produces normal pitch. Negative values tune down and positive values tune up. s MIDI Synchronization Determines whether the QY300 is controlled by its own internal clock or MIDI clock data from an external device. When set to "Int" the QY300 is controlled by its own internal clock. When set to "Ext" the QY300 is controlled by a MIDI clock signal received from an external device such as a sequencer or music computer. Please note that the QY300 will not run on its own when this parameter is set to "Ext." 115

The Utility Mode
The QY300 utility mode includes a number of functions that are important for general
operation — e.g. MIDI data handling, interfacing with external equipment, ABC system
operation, and more. Press the
[UTILITY]
mode key to go to the UTILITY mode, then use the
[F1]
,
[F2]
, and
[F3]
function keys to select the system, input filter, or fingered zone param-
eters described below. Press the
[F6]
function key (“Exit”) to exit from the UTILITY mode and
return to the previously-engaged mode when done (you can also press any other mode key to
go directly to the selected mode).
System Parameters
The UTILITY mode system parameters include master tuning and basic MIDI
settings that are essential for communication with external equipment. To ac-
cess the system parameters press the
[F1]
function key (“System”) after engag-
ing the UTILITY mode.
■
Master Tuning
This parameter tunes the QY300 tone generator over approximately a whole
tone range (
±
one semitone) in 1-cent increments (a “cent” is 1/100th of a
semitone). The range is from “–99” through “+00” to “+99”. A setting of
“+00” produces normal pitch. Negative values tune down and positive values
tune up.
■
MIDI Synchronization
Determines whether the QY300 is controlled by its own internal clock or MIDI
clock data from an external device.
When set to “Int” the QY300 is controlled by its own internal clock. When
set to “Ext” the QY300 is controlled by a MIDI clock signal received from an
external device such as a sequencer or music computer. Please note that the
QY300 will not run on its own when this parameter is set to “Ext.”
