• When you enter PATTERN mode, the QY700 displays the
PATCH screen. You can use this screen to create a pattern
(by arranging phrases onto the 16 pattern tracks), or to se-
lect and replay an existing pattern.
• During pattern playback, you can change the chord setting
so that the pattern modulates. If you enable the fingered-
chord switch, you can make the changes by playing appro-
priate chords at the microkeyboard or at an external MIDI
keyboard.
• The lower half of the PATCH screen shows the pattern's
phrase arrangement, by measure and by track. You can
change the phrase settings directly at this screen. By select-
ing different voices for each track, you can easily build and
try out a wide number of multipart variations (drum plus
guitar plus bass, and so on).
