326 APPENDIX

Offset (Relative) editing: A type of editing in which data is added with-

out changing the actual setting; the added data is referred to as

the “offset value.”

On bass: A function that lets you specify a root note for the bass inde-

pendently of the chord, so that the playback of a phrase whose

Phrase Type is Bass will be fixed on that root note.

Original bass: A function that lets you specify the Chord Root and Chord

Type for the bass, so that only a phrase whose Phrase Type is

Bass will playback using the bass chord.

Oscillator: A block or device that produces the waveform on which the

sound is based, or a frequency that modulates the sound.

Overdub: A method of realtime recording in which new material is re-

corded without erasing previously recorded tracks.

Pan: The parameter that sets the stereo location of a sound when it is

played back in stereo. (“Pan” or “panpot” are abbreviations of

“panoramic potentiometer.”) The pan parameters found in Voice

Edit, song play Multi, and Effect Edit are linked.

Parameter: A setting or data item which you can modify in the various

mode and sub-mode displays.

Patch: A screen page in Pattern mode that allows you to select and play-

back patterns, and to create patterns by assigning phrases to each

track of the pattern.

Pattern: An accompaniment pattern consisting of drums, bass and chord

backing, created by connecting phrases end-to-end or by verti-

cally stacking up to16 parts.

Pattern track: The track which records and plays back pattern data.

Phrase: A unit of musical accompaniment played by a accompaniment

part; e.g., a rhythm pattern for the rhythm part, a bass line for the

bass part, or chord backing for the guitar part. Phrases are the

smallest unit from which the accompaniment of a song is cre-

ated.

Piano roll: When using step recording to input notes, a graphic display

that indicates the pitch and gate time of the notes, with pitch

represented by the vertical axis, and measures and beats as the

horizontal axis.

Pitch bend: A type of MIDI message that smoothly modifies the pitch.

Pitch wheel: A controller that smoothly changes the pitch. The PITCH

wheel of the QY700 can be assigned to control aspects of the

sound other than pitch, such as volume or tone.

Portamento: An effect that smoothly changes the pitch from one note to

another note. Higher settings of Portamento Time will produce a

slower change, and there will be no effect with a setting of 0.

Preset: A type of memory that is built into a device. The QY700 has

preset memories for voices, phrases, and patterns.

Program change: A MIDI message that selects a voice.

Program number: On the QY700, a number specifying one of the GM-

defined sounds.

Punch recording: A method of realtime recording in which the uses

specifies the punch-in and punch-out points, so that recording

takes place only in that area.

Quantization: A function which “tightens up” the inexact timing of notes

or other events that were entered in realtime.

Rate: A type of parameter that controls EG or scaling. For example in

the case of an EG on the QY700, two rates can be adjusted.

Realtime recording: A method of recording in which your performance

is recorded just as you play, similar to a conventional multi-track

recorder. Since the performance is recorded as you play, the

musical expression and nuances of your performance will be

accurately recorded.

Release time: The time over which the volume falls from the sustain

level (beginning at the moment a note is released) until it reaches

silence.

Replace: A method of realtime recording or punch recording in which

previously recorded data is erased (replaced) as new material is

recorded.

Resonance: A parameter that boosts the level of the signal in the area of

the cutoff frequency. By emphasizing the overtones in this area,

this can produce a distinctive “peaky” tone, making the sound

brighter and harder.

Reverb: An effect that simulates the acoustical reverberance of a room

or space. The sound that reaches our ear usually includes not

only the direct sound, but also sound that was reflected off the

walls or ceiling. Reverb creates these indirect reflections artifi-

cially. Although some reflections can be perceived individually

as distinct echoes, the term “reverb” usually refers only to the

indistinct “wash” of reflected sound.

RPN: An acronym for Registered Parameter Number. These MIDI mes-

sages are used to set Part settings such as Pitch Bend Sensitivity

or Tuning.

Save: The process of saving data or songs from internal memory to floppy

disk.

Section: A term referring to each of the eight types of patterns that com-

prise a style. Patterns are selected by specifying the style and the

section.

Send level: The amount of signal that is sent to a specified bus line for

processing by an effect. The amount of signal that is returned

from the effect is the “return level.”

Sensitivity: The degree to which an aspect of the sound (e.g., volume)

responds to a control (e.g., note velocity).

Sequencer: A block (or device) that records, edits, modifies, and plays

back a musical performance in the form of MIDI messages.

Sequence tracks: Tracks which record and playback normal MIDI se-

quence data.

SMF: See the entry for Standard MIDI File.

Song: A musical composition created by recording performance data on

one or more tracks.
