Yamaha QY70 Owner's Manual - Page 30

The Controls !1 Sequencer Keys The sequencer keys control recording and playback in the SONG and PATTERN modes, and allow you to locate a specific measure within a song or pattern. Their layout and functions are similar to the transport controls on a tape recorder. [S] RECORD READY: Press this key to engage the record ready mode. You have to press the START key to actually start recording. [A] STOP: Press to stop recording or playback. [W] START: Press to start recording or playback. [U] GO TO TOP: This key takes you directly to the first measure (the "top") of the current song or pattern. [E] MOVE BACK: Press briefly to move back one measure, or hold for continuous scrolling. [R] MOVE FORWARD: Press briefly to move forward one measure, or hold for continuous scrolling. !2 Micro Keyboard This tiny 2-octave keyboard makes it possible to program the QY70 anywhere, anytime, without having to connect an external MIDI keyboard. It's even polyphonic, so you can directly enter chords as well as single notes. The only thing it lacks is velocity sensitivity. The QY70 does, however, accept velocity information from an external MIDI keyboard. When programming accompaniment tracks the microkeyboard is also used to specify the chord roots and types to be entered. TRY THIS: In the SONG mode, use the cursor keys to place the cursor at the track 1 position ("1" on the display). 28
