High Key - Yamaha QY700 Owner's Manual

6. High key

• This setting determines the highest key that the chord root
can take following transposition. The setting applies only
to phrases of the following types: Mldy1, Chrd1, and Bass.
• To transpose any of these phrase types, the QY700 normally
shifts the root upwards by the number of semitones separat-
ing the source chord's root and the new chord's root. Be-
cause too large a shift upward can cause the phrase to lose
its original character, however, the QY700 will automati-
cally shift downward, by one octave, any transposition that
would move to a root higher than the value set here.

7. Voice category, program number, bank
number, and voice name
• The first three values (voice category, program number, and
bank number) select the voice used to play the phrase. The
screen also displays the selected voice's name.
• The voice category selects the general voice class, as given
by the Bank Select MSB (the most significant byte of the
Bank Select value).
• The program number selects the voice within the category.
• The bank number (or Bank Select LSB) can be used to se-
lect one of the alternative voices assigned to the program
number. This value is effective only with respect to voices
in the "normal" category; the value is fixed at 000 for all
other categories.

Normal voice (Bank Select MSB = 000).
SFX voice (Bank Select MSB = 064). This type of SFX
voice (sound-effects voice) has the same character over
the full range of the keyboard, but different keys pro-
duce the sound in different pitches (as with a normal
voice).
SFX kit (Bank Select MSB = 126). This type of voice
exists as a collection of different sounds, so that each
key produces a different kind of sound effect.
Drum voice (Bank Select MSB = 127). As with the SFX
kit, each key produces a different type of drum sound.
Note that these sounds cannot be changed directly by
editing.
