• You use the groove quantize (rhythm quantization) feature
to impart a swing, or "groove," to the note data as it is played
back. The feature operates by making specified adjustments
in note-event timing, velocities, and gate times. Effective
use of this feature makes it possible to convert mechanical-
sounding note data into driving, meaningful music.
• The QY700 comes equipped with 100 preset groove tem-
plates, each corresponding to a different musical genre. You
can therefore get good quantization results simply by se-
lecting the appropriate template. But the QY700 also lets
you create your own, customized templates (user templates).
• Each template contains data for quantizing one measure of
recorded data. Quantizing is executed by reapplying the tem-
plate values to each measure of the track.
• Because you can select a different template for each track,
you can combine a wide variety of different rhythms within
a single pattern. You can also select how strongly each track's
template will act on the track's data – so that you can get a
wide range of variations even when working with the same
template.
• You use the Groove View page to view the preset templates,
and to view or create your own user templates. The page
displays the template settings in an easy-to-follow graphi-
cal form.

Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE
Sets degree by which notes are pulled toward nearest quantizing
line.
Sets degree by which note data's original timing is adjusted by
the groove template.
Sets degree by which note data's gate time is adjusted by the
groove template.
Sets degree by which note data's velocity values are adjusted by
the groove template.
The grid illustrates the interval arrangement for quantization. The
numerical position value shows the location of the cursor-selected
quantizing line.
Sets/shows final time shift applied after quantizing by template is
completed. (Value is in clock cycles.)
Gate time adjustment applied at each interval, by percent.
Velocity offset applied at each interval.
• Each groove template is divided into equal quantizing in-
tervals: eighth-note intervals, eighth-note triplet intervals,
sixteenth-note intervals, or some other such value. On the
Groove View page, these intervals are represented by a grid
pattern.
• The groove template sets separate adjustment values for each
interval, allowing for subtle but swinging nuances. For ex-
ample, the template might increase the gate times and ve-
locities in the first half of the first beat, while delaying the
timing of notes that occur in the second half of the second
beat.
1. At the Play Effects screen, press
The Groove Quantize page appears.
2. Move the cursor to each of the parameters you want
to change, and set the new value using the data dial,
/ , or the numeric keypad.
3. When you have finished making changes, press
to return to the PATCH screen.
• The playback keys (
function while you are adjusting the groove settings, so that
you can monitor the results of your changes as you make
them.
• Adjustment shortcut 1: To adjust the cursor-selected pa-
rameter by an equal amount on all tracks, hold down
while rotating the data dial or pressing
• Adjustment Shortcut 2: To set the cursor-selected param-
eter to the same value on all tracks, hold down
enter the value at the numeric keypad.
