When playing back or recording a song, one

“beat” (a rhythmic subdivision of a measure).

Bulk data:

A type of System Exclusive message which

contains a collection of data for the internal

settings of a device.

Bulk dump:

The process of transmitting bulk data in MIDI

System Messages to external MIDI devices.

Chord root:

An alphabetical letter which indicates the

root of a chord. The QY70 lets you indicate

12 different chord roots.

Chord template:

A collection of preset models for chord

progressions. The collection includes generic

chord progressions for Popular styles as well

as Blues and Tension styles.

Chord track (Cd):

A track that lets you record and play back

Chord Roots and Chord Types for the Auto

Bass Chord (ABC) function.

Chord type:

A symbolic or numerical indication of how a

chord is composed (Major, minor, 7th, etc.).

The QY70 allows you to select from 26

(including “non-ABC”) chord types.

Chorus:

to select voice banks and control the volume,

pan, etc. They are also output when a

controller (modulation wheel, foot controller,

etc.) is operated. Each controller has its own

control number.
