The Measure/Beat Parameter

The Shuttle Dial

10
The QY300 lets you locate any measure within a song quickly and easily in
three ways:
The large number to the left of the colon in this parameter is the measure
number and the small number to the right of the shows the number of the
current quarter-note beat within the current measure during playback and re-
cording. To go directly to any measure within a song, place the cursor at the
measure number and use the [–1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys, the data dial, or the
numeric keypad to enter the number of the measure you want to go to. Re-
member to press [ENTER] after entering a measure number via the numeric
keypad. The beat number will always be reset to "1" when you locate a
measure.
The outer ring of the QY300 data dial is a "shuttle" dial that lets you move
forward or backward through the current song at varying speed, both during
playback and when playback is stopped. The more you rotate the shuttle dial in
the clockwise direction the faster you will shuttle forward through the song.
The same applies to reverse shuttling in the counter-clockwise direction. If you
use the shuttle dial during playback you will be able to monitor the sound of
the song while shuttling forward or backward. No monitor sound is available if
the shuttle dial is used when playback is stopped.
