Sync:
See Synchronization
System (effect):
An effect which can be applied to all parts
(tracks) by adjusting the Send Levels and
Return Level. System effects allow reverb or
chorus to be conveniently applied to the
overall music. The QY70 provides Reverb
and Chorus as system effects. The Variation
effect can also be used as a system effect.
System Exclusive Message:
A type of MIDI message used to exchange
data unique to a specific model or type of
device.
T
Tempo track (Tm):
The track in which data that determines the
playback tempo of the song is recorded.
Track:
A location where musical performance data
is recorded in the sequencer. You can record
piano on track 1, bass on track 2, etc.
Transpose:
Shifts the pitch of recorded data in semitone
steps.
Tremolo:
An effect produced by cyclically modulating
the volume.
Tuning:
The process of matching the pitch of two or
more instruments when playing in an
ensemble. Normally, A3 is tuned to 440Hz.
U
Undo:
This command cancels the previously
performed operation and returns the data to
the condition of that before the operation
was executed. On the QY70, this command
can be performed against JOB, EDIT, and
A p p e n d i x
RECORDING operations. See the entry for
Redo.
Utility:
On the QY70, the display in which MIDI
settings and system settings can be made.
Variation effect:
One of the QY70's effects which can
function either as an insertion effect or as a
system effect, and provides a wide variety of
effect programs such as delay, rotary
speaker, auto pan, amp simulation and auto
wah in addition to reverb and chorus.
Velocity:
A numerical value indicating the speed
(force) with which a note was pressed.
Vibrato:
A performance effect produced by cyclically
changing the pitch.
Voice:
A sound that is built into the tone generator
that can be selected and played.
Wet sound:
The audio signal that is processed by an
effect. Normally when using an effect, not all
of the signal is passed through the effect.
Rather, the degree of the effect is adjusted
by mixing the sound that passes through the
effect (the wet sound) with the sound that
bypasses the effect (the dry sound). See also
the entry for Dry sound.
XG:
A tone generator format developed by
Yamaha which expands the GM specification
to provide the richer expressiveness and
upward data compatibility that is demanded
by today's more sophisticated computer
peripheral environment.
