Using the QY20 As a Drum Machine

Although you can create complete accompaniments using the preset patterns as described
in the preceding section, you can also mute the C1, C2, and Ba tracks, leaving only the Dr
track, so the QY20 functions as a drum machine. You can create drum-only accompani-
ments using the drum tracks from the preset patterns, or record original drum tracks for your
own patterns, as described in the following chapter.
It's also possible to record drum voices to the sequencer tracks as described in the "Cre-
ating a Complete Song" chapter (page 108).
