Page 11: Audio Connections
Audio Connections The simplest way to monitor the QR10 sound is via the built-in speaker. If you want to keep the QR10 sound to yourself, without bothering others, a pair of stereo headphones (miniature stereo phone plug type) plugged into the PHONES jack provides convenient monitoring while automatically shutting off the internal speaker system. -

Using a Footswitch for Start/Stop Control If the QR10 FOOT SW function is turned ON, you can use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) connected to the rear-panel INPUT jack to start and stop pattern playback instead of the panel [START/STOP] key. This leaves your hands free to play an instrument or perform other operations. -
Page 18: Using The Pattern Variations
The sound of an instrument or IMPORTANT other external audio source will not be heard via the QR10 speaker when the FOOT SW function is turned on. Connecting an instrument or audio source to the INPUT jack when the FOOT SW function is turned on may actually damage the connected device. -

Although you can select the chord you want to record with (to make recording easier), the IMPORTANT QR10 actually memorizes the recorded pattern in CM7. The ABC system converts the pattern to the specified chord during playback. As a result, the pattern may not be played back exactly as it was recorded. -
Page 46: The Pattern Clear & Copy Functions
The PATTERN mode CLEAR function completely erases the specified section of the selected user pattern. If you want to save the pattern data before clearing the pattern from the QR10 memory to make room for new material, use the MIDI BULK DUMP function, described on page 43, to transfer the song data to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer. -
Page 47: Pattern Copy
Press [START/STOP] to Clear Press the [START/STOP] key to actually clear the selected pattern, or [EXIT] to exit from the CLEAR function. Turning the QR10 power OFF during execution of the clear or copy function may result in loss CAUTION of all data and possibly damage the QR10! Any previous data in the specified pattern will be completely erased. - Page 48 IMPORTANT source pattern when the copy function is executed.
