phrases, it also allows you to record your own user phrases.
You use the Phrase Recording submode to make these re-
cordings.
• The QY700 offers two general recording methods: realtime
recording and step recording.
• With realtime recording, the QY700 operates as a tape re-
corder, recording the performance data as it is played. This
allows you to catch all the nuances of an actual perform-
ance.
• With step recording, you input the phrase one note at a time,
almost as if you were writing the notes down on a music
sheet. This allows you to create complex phrases without
having to play them in real time at the keyboard.
