A p p e n d i x Replace: A method of real-time recording in which previously recorded data is erased (replaced) as new material is recorded. Sequencer tracks: Tracks which record and playback normal MIDI sequence data. The QY70 has 16 sequencer tracks. Resonance: A parameter that boosts the level of the signal in the area of the cutoff frequency. By emphasizing the overtones in this area, this can produce a distinctive "peaky" tone, making the sound brighter and harder. Return level: See the entry for Send level. Reverb: An effect that simulates the acoustical reverberance of a room or space. The sound that reaches our ear usually includes not only the direct sound, but also that was reflected off the walls or ceiling. Reverb creates these indirect reflections artificially. RPN: An acronym for Registered Parameter Number. These are a type of MIDI control change message that are used to set Part settings such as Pitch Bend Sensitivity or Tuning, etc. 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. 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, U.K. techno, etc. musical genres). Styles are divided into six sections (intro, fillin, 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. 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. 240
