4. Chord root and type
• This area sets the chord root and type for the initial (de-
fault) playback of the pattern.
• For each chord, you can select from among 12 roots and 28
types.
• For each chord, you can also select a separate on-bass or
original bass setting.
On-bass: Converts all bass-type phrases into repeti-
tions of the selected on-bass pitch. (All bass-
phrase notes automatically transpose into the
selected pitch.)
Original bass: Causes all bass-type phrases to transpose to
the selected "original bass" chord (root and
type). All notes within the bass phrase trans-
pose to constituent notes of the "original
bass" chord.
• For a full chord listing, refer to the QY700 Reference List-
ings (separately bound).
