Gate Time & Velocity Modify; The "Per Track" Display - Yamaha QY-300 Owner's Manual

Song Mode — Part 1: Playback & Control
Gate Time & Velocity Modify
• The gate time can be
modified to give the
entire track a more
staccato or legato feel, as re-
quired.
• Modifying the velocity is a
great way to "soften" the
sound of a track that has too
great a variation between the
softest and loudest notes, or,
conversely, to add extra
punch to a dull-sounding
track. Experiment with the pa-
rameters to get a feel for what
they do.

The "Per Track" Display

22
The parameters in this screen make it easy to increases or decreases the gate
times (length) and velocity of all notes in the specified track.
The "G.Rat" (gate rate) parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and
longer gate time values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relation-
ship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range
(minimum 1%), and higher values produce a broader gate time range (maxi-
mum 200%).
The "V.Rat" (velocity rate) parameter sets the ratio between the lower and
higher velocity values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relationship
between the notes, lower values produce a narrower dynamic range (minimum
1%), and higher values produce a broader dynamic range (maximum 200%).
The "V.Ofs" (velocity offset) parameters determines the amount of veloc-
ity change. "–" settings reduce the velocity while "+" settings increase the
velocity. The range is from "–99" through "00" to "+99".
In addition to the playback effect displays described above the QY300 pro-
vides a "per track" display which shows all parameters for all effects for one
track at a time. Only the sound of the selected track will be monitored when
this display is selected. Press the [F1] function key ("perTR") to select the per
track display.
The individual effects and parameters are exactly the same as those described
above. To select a track, move the cursor to the track number bar at the top of
the display, then move the cursor sideways to select the track you want to
program.
