Part 2: Recording Accompaniments; Realtime Accompaniment Recording - Yamaha QY 300 Owner's Manual

The QY300 provides two ways to record an accompaniment by specifying patterns and chords:
"realtime" and "step" recording. The realtime method is the fastest and easiest, letting you record
pattern and chord changes "on the fly." The step method gives you more detailed control, and is
an excellent way to add the finishing touches to an accompaniment recorded in real time.

Realtime Accompaniment Recording

If for some reason all 10
songs contain data, use
the "Clear Song" job de-
scribed on page 53 to clear a song
for recording.
Once you know how to select styles, sections, and enter chords in the PAT-
TERN mode (see the preceding sections), recording a basic accompaniment in
real time is easy. Tempo changes can be added later using the EDIT mode
page 112).
Select the SONG Mode & an Empty Song
Press the [SONG] mode key to select the SONG mode and, with the cursor
located over the song number at the top of the display, use any data entry
method to select an empty song number if necessary. Empty songs are indi-
cated by a row of asterisks ( "********" ) following the song number.
Select the "Pat" Track to Record Style &
Section Changes
Move the cursor to the track area of the display, and then shift the cursor
sideways to select "Pat". Once selected, move the cursor vertically to move to
other areas of the screen. The selected track will remain highlighted no matter
where you move the cursor.
