Getting to Know the QY8: How the Controls Work

3 Cursor Buttons

These 4 buttons move the “cursor” around the

display screen, selecting the various parameters

that are available for editing (the selected

parameter or symbol will flash).

[-1][-1]

[-1] and

[+1][+1]

[+1] Buttons

These buttons are used to edit (change the value of) the parameter at

which the cursor is currently located. The [-1] button decrements

(decreases stepwise) the value of the selected parameter, while the [+1]

button increments (increases stepwise) the parameter. Press either button

briefly to decrement or increment the parameter by one, or hold the

button for continuous decrementing or incrementing in the specified

direction. When programming the QY8 sequencer parts, the [-1] and [+1]

are also used to select the musical symbols required for note programming

(note length, sharps and flats, etc.).

[ENTER][ENTER]

[ENTER] Button

The [ENTER] button is used to “enter” styles, chords, and repeats when

creating accompaniments, and to enter notes and rests when recording the

sequencer parts. It is also used to execute the QY8’s “option” functions.

[UNDO][UNDO]

[UNDO] Button

This button provides “insurance” against mistakes. As it’s name implies, it

will “undo” any operation if pressed immediately after performing that

operation. If you accidentally clear a song that you wanted to keep, for

example, the [UNDO] button will undo the clear operation and restore

your data — but

only if pressed immediately after the clear operation. If

pressed a second time, it will also “redo” the preceding operation.

The undo function requires a considerable amount of memory, so it

can be turned on if needed or off when you need to conserve memory via

the Undo/Redo On/Off function ( page 64).
