The Beat Display; To Continue Playback From The Point At Which It Was Stopped; Using A Footswitch For Start/Stop Control - Yamaha QR10 Owner's Manual

Start Playback
4
Press the [START/STOP] key to begin playback
of the selected pattern. Make sure that the VOLUME
control is set to an appropriate level.

The Beat Display

As the pattern plays, a triangular beat
indicator will flash in time with the music,
and two digits immediately below the
flashing triangle show the current measure
and beat. The left digit is the measure
number, and right digit is the quarter-note or
eighth-note beat within that measure.
The "Normal" variations of all the preset patterns consist of up to 4 measures that
repeat continuously. The measure number will therefore go from "1" to "4", and then
DETAIL
back to "1" again. If the pattern is in 4/4 time (i.e. 4 quarter-notes per measure), then
the beat number will go from "1" to "4" within each measure. The measure and beat numbers
for one full cycle of a 4-measure pattern in 4/4 time are as follows.
5 Stop Playback
Pressing the [START/STOP] key while a pattern is playing stops playback immediately.
You can change patterns during playback by following the standard pattern selection procedure: press [PATTERN SELECT], use
HINT t h e [ – 1 ] a n d [ + 1 ] o r n u m b e r k e y s t o s e l e c t a p a t t e r n , t h e n p r e s s [ E X I T ] .
Whenever you turn the QR10 power on, or select the PATTERN mode from the SONG mode, the
DETAIL
previously selected pattern number will automatically be re-selected.

To Continue Playback from the Point at Which It Was Stopped

Each time you press the [START/STOP] key
while playback is stopped the pattern will begin
playing from the first beat of the first measure.
If you press the [START/STOP] key while holding
the [SHIFT] key, however, playback will continue
from the point at which it was stopped.

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. To turn the FOOT SW function on:
Engage the FOOT SW Function

Press the [FOOT SW] key (the number "7" key)
while holding the [SHIFT] key to engage the FOOT
SW function.
