Setting Up: Power & Connections

Setting Up Your System

What you will connect the QY8 to, and what you will connect to the
QY8, will depend entirely on your individual requirements, and it
would be impossible to cover all possibilities here. A few examples are
provided below to help you get started.
The Connectors
1
1 PHONES/LINE OUT Jack
Any pair of stereo headphones with a miniature stereo phone plug can
be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. This connector also
delivers a stereo output signal from the QY8 for connection to a stereo
sound system (see "Audio Connections," below). The output level is
adjusted via the VOLUME control on the right side panel.
2 MIDI IN & OUT Connectors
If you plan to use a MIDI keyboard or other instrument to play and
program the QY8, it should be connected to QY8 MIDI IN connector
(see "MIDI Connections," below). The MIDI OUT connector can be
connected to an external tone generator if you want to drive external
voices from the QY8 sequencer, or a MIDI data recorder such as the
Yamaha MDF2 if you want to store your songs to floppy disk (
61).
