The QY300 allows precise tempo settings from 25 to 300 beats per minute in
fine one-tenth of a quarter-note increments.
The number to the left of the period in the tempo parameter is the number of
quarter-note beats per minute, an the number to the right of the period repre-
sents tenths of a quarter note. The cursor can be independently placed at the
ones or tenths section of the tempo parameter to set as required.
The pitch of song playback can be transposed up or down by as much as an
octave in semitone increments.
To transpose playback pitch place the cursor at the transpose parameter ("Trs"
on the LCD) and set as required. Each increment corresponds to one semitone,
and the maximum range is from –12 (down one octave) to +12 (up one
octave).
