MODE
Press the [ OCT DOWN ] and [ OCT UP ] keys simultaneously at
any time when the record mode is not engaged to see how much of
the QY20's memory has been used.
When the bar reaches "100%" the QY20 memory is full (or almost
full) and further recording may not be possible unless you delete
some unwanted data or transfer some data to an external data storage
device using the MIDI bulk dump function (see page 163).
If the memory becomes full during realtime recording the "Memory Full"
error message will appear and recording will stop automatically. Although

the used memory display may not show "100%" at this point, further re-
cording will not be possible until some data is deleted.
As long as the record mode is not engaged you
can press the [MODE] key while holding the
HINT [MENU] key to see the current pitch of the micro-
keyboard as determined by the [OCT DOWN] and
[OCT UP] keys, and a list of the drum instruments
currently played by the micro-keyboard keys.
