Programming the Sequencer Parts

Deleting Notes

To delete a note, move the cursor to the dot on the 1 MEASURE

bar corresponding to the note you want to delete, then press the

[ENTER] button. An alternative method is to move the cursor to

the appropriate pitch symbol on the display and press [ENTER]

(the 1 MEASURE bar pointer must also be located at the note you

want to delete).

HINT

In addition to deleting mistakes as described above, you can use

the

[UNDO][UNDO]

[UNDO] button to undo the last operation performed — i.e. a

mistaken style entry.

Entering Notes Via an External Keyboard

It is also possible to step-enter notes from an external keyboard

connected to the QY8 MIDI IN connector. The UNDO function,

however, is not available in this case.

IMPORTANT

Depending on the amount of data you have recorded, it may not

be possible to fully record all 20 available songs. If you run out of

memory during recording, the “MemFull” error message will appear

on the display. If this happens use the Clear Song function

described on page 60 to clear unwanted song data. You might also

want to use an optional Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer to save your

important song data to floppy disk for later loading and use.

HINT

The copy and delete functions described in chapter 7 (pages 54,

51) can make the process of creating songs faster and more

efficient.

■ Real-time Part Recording

If you have a MIDI keyboard or other controller connected to the QY8 MIDI

IN connector, you can record the sequencer parts in “real time” — i.e. what

you play on the keyboard/controller is directly recorded to the part, in the

same way you’d record on a tape recorder. This means you don’t have to

individually program each note, and the spontaneity of your performance is

preserved (including mistakes!).
