Creating Patterns
QY300 patterns are created by combining "phrases" — either preset or original — from the
PHRASE mode. A phrase is simply an individual "part" of a pattern — e.g. a drum phrase, a
bass phrase, a keyboard phrase, etc. — using a single voice. The QY300 has 2,000 preset
phrases, and 100 memory locations for original creations. The PHRASE mode lets you both
listen to the preset phrases and record original phrases. The phrases are actually combined to
create complete patterns in the PATTERN mode.
