DETAIL
Think of the QY22 SONG mode as an 8-track tape recorder or 8-
part score that lets you record different parts of a musical composition
one at a time, and then play them back all together. You can even edit
certain parts after they've been recorded to correct mistakes and fine-
tune the overall sound. The QY22 has an internal memory that will
hold up to 20 complete songs. For extra storage capacity you can use
the MIDI bulk dump utility to transmit the song data to a MIDI data
recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 (
The SONG mode's 8 tracks are actually divided into 2 4-track
groups: tracks 1 through 4 are the sequencer tracks, while the re-
maining 4 tracks are the accompaniment tracks. The difference is
described below.
