Select A Voice - Yamaha QR10 Owner's Manual

Select a Voice

6
Select the voice you want to use for the current
track: press the [VOICE SELECT] key and, while
trying out the voices on the micro-keyboard, use the
[–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select the
desired voice.
Press [VOICE SELECT] again or the [EXIT]
key to return to the record ready mode when done.
You can also change the voice
HINT
assignments later in the same way.
Select a Chord
7
Select the chord you want to record with: use
the chord type keys to select the chord type, and the
[–1] and [+1] keys to select the chord root (i.e. "C",
"Db", etc.). In this case the chord roots are not
entered via the micro-keyboard.
Although you can select the chord you want to record with (to make recording easier), the
IMPORTANT
QR10 actually memorizes the recorded pattern in CM7. The ABC system converts the pattern to the
specified chord during playback. As a result, the pattern may not be played back exactly as it was
recorded.
The record ready mode can be disengaged at any time prior to actually starting recording (the
next step) by pressing the
[RECORD] or [EXIT] key.
Start Recording
8
Press the [START/STOP] key to start
recording. After the usual 2-measure count-in, you
can start recording the selected track by playing on
the QR10 micro-keyboard or a MIDI keyboard
connected to the QR10 MIDI IN connector. When
using the QR10 micro-keyboard, you will have to
use the [OCTAVE] keys to shift octaves as
required.
Play the required part either on the micro-keyboard
or via an external MIDI keyboard. The pattern will
repeat from the first to last measure, so you can continue to add notes until the current part is complete.
If you record from an external MIDI keyboard, sustain and pitch bend data will also be
HINT
recorded on all tracks except the RHYTHM track.
It's sometimes easier to set a slow tempo for pattern recording, so you have plenty of time
HINT
to enter the data.
DETAIL
The [PHRASE] keys cannot be used when recording patterns.
