Here are a few ideas on how you can use the QS300.
This section is not comprehensive, but gives you a
good general guide to the overall possibilities and
provides a starting point or springboard for your own
creative ideas and explorations.
Live Performance — Including Solo Gigs
The huge number of high-quality Voices and profes-
sional-level effects makes the QS300 a perfect key-
board for live performance. Add the 16-track se-
quencer and the sophisticated automatic accompani-
ment, and you've got a single, easy-to-use instrument
that can take the place of an entire band! Moreover,
the GM and XG compatibility let you take advantage
of the vast library of song files on the market, allow-
ing you to cover virtually any tune in any style of
music.
Home Studio
For an all-in-one music production instrument, the
QS300 also has amazing depth. The comprehensive
editing controls, MIDI implementation, 16-part
multitimbral capacity — and, of course, the stunning
Voices and effects — make the QS300 an ideal center-
piece for the recording or project studio.
The QS300 — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Can Do
All-in-one Practice Instrument
The automatic accompaniment features of the QS300
give you authentic sounding rhythm, bass and chordal
backing in a wide variety of musical styles — which
are perfect for practicing and playing along with. Use
material from the vast library of GM- and XG-com-
patible song data, or create your own songs — then,
play the keyboard while the songs play back. Com-
pared to a metronome, it's a much more exciting and
effective way of practicing.
Composing & Arranging Tool
The accompaniment features can also be used to
quickly and easily flesh out your own musical ideas.
With the wealth of chords, Phrases and Patterns —
and the comprehensive Song and Phrase editing
functions — the QS300 makes it exceptionally easy to
instantly turn your inspirations into complete compo-
sitions. Plus, the quality of the sounds and the au-
thentic backing let you create polished versions of
your ideas to others.
Multimedia Sound & Music Creation
With the explosive growth in multimedia software and
applications, the QS300 serves as a handy computer
sound and music tool, as well. Since it's fully com-
patible with the GM and new XG formats, song data
that you create on the QS300 can be used with any
GM-compatible application. And there's even a
special SFX Bank of sound effect Voices to add sonic
realism and power to your next multimedia presenta-
tion.
