Changing Chords
The QY300 features a sophisticated ABC (Auto Bass Chord) system that
automatically re-harmonizes the pattern tracks to match chords you specify.
This makes creating complete accompaniment tracks fast and easy ... just
select a pattern, then specify the required chord changes (details in the next
section). Here’s how you use the micro-keyboard to specify chord changes.
Play a Pattern
Select and play a pattern, as described in the preceding section.
Move the Cursor to the Chord Symbol
The micro-keyboard can be used to enter chords only when the cursor is
located over the chord symbol on the display. Use the cursor keys to move the
cursor to the chord symbol at the bottom of the display.
Enter a Chord
Note that the lower octave of the micro-keyboard has chord root names “E”
through “D” marked on the keys, and the upper octave keys are marked with a
variety of chord types.
To enter a chord, press the key corresponding to the desired chord root, then
the key corresponding to the desired chord type (the chord type keys alter-
nately select the lower and upper chord types marked ... watch the display),
and finally the
[ENTER]
key.
