Numeric/Chord Keys
These keys have three separate functions,
depending
on the current operation.
When
entering
numeric
parameters such
as
a
tempo
or
pattern
number, they usually
act as
a
numeric keypad
(refer
to
the
numbers
at
the
upper
left
corner of each
key). In this
case the
newly
entered
number
will flash
on
the display,
and
will
be actually
entered only
when
the
[ENTER]
key
is
pressed.
In
the step record
mode
these
same
keys allow
direct
entry of
a
range of important musical elements including
rests,
dynamics, and phrasing (Reference,
page 46
...
48).
The two symbols
directly
above each key indicate the
element
that
can be entered
by simply pressing the
key
(left
symbol)
and by pressing the
key
after
pressing
the
[SHIFT] key
(right
symbol).
When
entering
chords
these
10 keys provide easy ac-
cess
to
20
different
chord types (Reference,
page
51).
If
you want
a B-flat
minor
seventh chord, for
example,
just
press the B-flat
key on
the
micro-keyboard
(see
below) and
then
the
[m7/m9]
key.
The
left
chord
type
on each key
is
entered
simply
by
pressing
the
key,
and
the right
chord type
is
entered
by
first
pressing the
[SHIFT] key
(or
by pressing
the
key
twice).

[ENTER] Key
After
you
enter a
new
parameter
value, chord, note, or
other
musical element,
the
[ENTER]
key
will
normally
have
to
be pressed
to
actually enter the
new
value.
<B>
[SHIFT]
Key
As
already
mentioned
in
"©
Numeric/Chord Keys,"
above,
the
QY10
keys
often
provide access
to
two
different functions.
In these cases the
second
function
can be accessed by
first
pressing the
[SHIFT] key
(an
"S"
will
appear
at
the
left
of
the display)
and then the appropriate function
key
(the
"S" will
then disappear).

Micro-keyboard and [A]
and
[]
Keys
If
you're
on
the
road or
away from
it
all, all
you need
is
the
QY10
and
a pair of
headphones.
The
micro-keyboard
and
transpose
keys
let
you
record
and
edit
sequences with-
out
any
other
equipment.
The
micro-keyboard corresponds
to a
one-octave span of
a
conventional keyboard
(note the
white
and
black keys),
and
the
[A] and
[]
transpose
keys
shift
the pitch
of
the
micro-keyboard
up
or
down
in
semi-
tone increments.
The
white keys can
also
be used for track
selection
when
the track display
is
selected (Reference,
page 43)
—
note the track
numbers
a
backing
track nar"^
-
(CI, C2,
BASS,
RHYTHM)
below
the
white keys.
If
you prefer
to
use
a full-size
keyboard or other
MIDI
instrument, just
plug into the
QY10
MIDI
interface
and
play.
