The QY300 makes it easy to create original accompaniment phrases. In addi-
tion to the preset phrases , the QY300 has 100 phrase memory locations (US---
001 through US---100) which can be used to store your own creations. The
PHRASE mode provides two ways to create original phrases: realtime and step
recording.
In the realtime record mode you select the voice you want to record with, and
then play the part on the micro-keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard in real
time.
