■ Precautions

Your QR10 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given below:

■ Location

Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime).

• Excessive humidity.

• Excessive dust.

• Strong vibration.

■ Power Supply

• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.

• If you use an AC power adaptor, unplug the adaptor from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the specified unit (PA-3) or an appropriate replacement provided by your Yamaha dealer to power the QR10. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the QR10, and might pose a serious shock hazard!

• Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric storms.

• Avoid plugging an AC power adaptor used with the QR10 into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.

■ Turn Power OFF When Making

Connections

• To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.

• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.

• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).

■ Electrical Interference

• This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

■ Data Backup

• The QR10 contains a special long-life battery that retains the contents of its internal RAM memory even when the power is turned OFF. The backup battery should last for several years. When the backup battery needs to be replaced, “ERR 9” will appear on the display when the power is turned on. When this happens, have the backup battery replaced by qualified Yamaha service personnel. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE BACKUP BATTERY YOURSELF!

• Internal memory data can be corrupted due to incorrect operation. We recommend that you use the QR10 MIDI bulk dump utility (see page 43 for details) to transfer important data to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 for safe longterm storage. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for data loss caused by battery failure or improper operation of the QR10!

• Always turn the QR10 OFF before disconnecting the AC power adaptor to minimize unnecessary drain on the backup battery.

■ Service and Modification

• The QR10 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

1: QR10 Features & Applications

Features

The QR10 is a new concept in musical accompaniment. For the first time ever it gives singers, guitarists, and other performers fully orchestrated backing that’s easy to produce and fun to use. Most important of all, the QR10 doesn’t require any keyboard skills or programming ability. Accompaniments are created by playing “patterns” and changing chords manually in real time, or by recording the required pattern and chord changes in the form of complete “songs” that can then be played back as required. Selecting patterns and changing chords is a simple process that can be learned in just a few minutes. Recording the pattern and chord changes is no more difficult. Many other easy-to-use features give the QR10 the versatility needed to create accompaniments for all types of music and performance styles.

Here are a few of the QR10’s most important features …

• 50 preset accompaniment patterns covering a wide variety

of musical styles that you can simply select and play. Each pattern has six variations that can be selected at the touch of a button: introduction, normal, variation, fill-in 1, fill-in 2, and ending. All patterns have two chord parts, a bass part, and a rhythm part (> page 10).

• Change chords simply by pressing large, clearly-marked

keys on the QR10 panel (> page 14).

• 24 chord types are provided — from simple major and

minor triads to jazz-style tension chords (> page 16).

• 40 “combination patterns” let you easily combine the chord

1, chord 2, bass, and rhythm parts from different patterns to create an endless variety of new patterns (> page 36).

• 10 fully-programmable patterns are provided for those who

want to program totally original patterns from scratch (> page 37).

• 69 superb normal voices and 60 percussion voices —

change the voices in the preset patterns as required, and assign them to your combination and original patterns (> page 17).

• Built in “sampler” function lets you record two different

sounds — either via the built-in microphone or line-in jack — that can be selected and used in patterns in the same way as the preset voices (> page 19).

• Song mode includes 50 preset songs with common chord progressions that you can simply select and play or practice along with (> page 23).

• 50 programmable songs can be used to store patterns and chord progressions that you specify (> page 28).

• Songs are recorded by simply changing patterns and chords in real time — no complex step-record or editing procedures required (> page 28).

• A unique “Chord Progression” recording mode makes it simple to enter even complex chord progressions with perfect timing (> page 33).

• Two “phrase” keys play special phrases individually programmed for each preset song: 50 preset songs × 2 phrase keys = 100 phrases (> page 26).

• Built in speaker lets you play without the need for external equipment and cables (> page 8).

• Input jack accepts guitar or keyboard input so you can play along with the QR10 without additional amplification (> page 4).

Applications

Here are a few ideas on how you can use the QR10. There’s no way we can cover all possibilities, but the ideas

presented might help to spark some new and interesting applications.

■ A Super Practice Tool Create accompaniments that you can practice with on your guitar, keyboard, or any

other instrument (vocals too, of course). That way you have the advantage of practicing with a bass line and chords instead of just a metronome or drum machine.

■ Accompaniment for Live The QR10’s excellent sound quality makes it a super accompaniment tool for live

Performance performances, too. Sing, rap, or play along with the QR10 anywhere, anytime.

Page 8

1: QR10 Features & Applications (continued)

■ Use It as a Drum Machine Use the rhythm tracks of the preset patterns or program your own. The QR10’s drum

sounds are just and realistic and powerful as those on many dedicated rhythm machines.

■ Develop Musical Ideas The QR10’s outstanding voices and versatile programming features make it an ideal

tool for trying out musical ideas. It’s also a great way to present you ideas to others.

■ Use it in a MIDI Music Use the QR10 as an adjunct to music recording and production in a MIDI music system.

System It can, for example, be MIDI-clock synchronized to other MIDI equipment in order to

add extra tracks to an arrangement.

■ Use It as a Tone The QR10’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator is in no way a

Generator compromise. You get outstanding AWM sound quality that’s on a par with some of the

finest full-size synthesizers. You can play the QR10 remotely from just about any MIDI keyboard, computer, or other controller.

■ Add ABC Capability to Use the QR10 as an “ABC expander” for your MIDI keyboard. Auto-accompaniment

Your MIDI Keyboard can makes playing at home more fun, and it can be a tremendous sound-booster at

1-performer live gigs.

adaptor may cause irreparable damage to

PA-3

■ Using Batteries

Six 1.5V AA size (SUM-3 or R6P) or equivalent alkaline batteries must first be installed in the battery compartment. Please note that the average life of a full set of new manganese batteries is approximately one hour or less of continuous playback at maximum volume. Alkaline batteries may last as long as four hours. Please use an AC power adaptor (see above) wherever possible.

Open Battery Compartment Cover

Open the battery compartment cover — located on the instrument’s bottom panel — by pressing on the two latches on the cover and pulling outward, as shown in the illustration.

2 Insert Batteries

Insert the six batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the bottom panel.

3 Replace Cover

Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

■ When to Replace the Batteries

When the batteries run down and are no longer able to operate the QR10, playback or recording will stop and the display shown to the right will appear:

If the battery voltage drops too low to maintain the error display, a random, meaningless display will appear.

When these displays appear, replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER

mix old and new, or different type of batteries!

Never unplug the AC adaptor from the QR10 when a set of batteries is installed and the power is turned ON. Turn the power OFF first.

CAUTION

To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

CAUTION

1 PHONES Jack

Any pair of stereo headphones with a miniature stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The PHONES output level is adjusted via the VOLUME control on the right side panel.

The built-in speaker is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.

DETAIL

2 OUTPUT Jack

This miniature stereo phone plug delivers a line-level stereo output signal from the QR10 for connection to a stereo sound system (see “Audio Connections,” below). The output level is adjusted via the VOLUME control on the right side panel.

3 INPUT Jack

This 1/4" monaural phone jack accepts input from an electric guitar or bass, an electronic keyboard, a microphone (highimpedance types), or other audio source. The signal received at the INPUT jack is mixed with the QR10’s own sound and delivered via the built-in speaker system, the OUTPUT jack (above), or the PHONES jack (also above) as required. The INPUT GAIN function described on page 5 should be used to match the input gain of the QR10 to the connected instrument or source.

The INPUT jack can also be used as a footswitch jack for playback start/stop and chord change operation when the FOOTSWITCH function is turned ON (> page 11).

DETAIL

4 MIDI IN & OUT Connectors

If you plan to use a MIDI keyboard or other instrument to play and program the QR10, it should be connected to QR10 MIDI IN connector. The MIDI OUT connector can be connected to an external MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 if you want to store your songs and patterns to floppy disk (> page 43).

5 DC IN Jack

This jack is only used when you are powering the QR10 from an optional AC adaptor instead of batteries. The DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-3 AC Power Adaptor is plugged in here.

The batteries are automatically disconnected when a plug is inserted into the DC IN jack.

DETAIL

Page 11

2: Setting Up: Power & Connections (continued)

■ Audio Connections

The simplest way to monitor the QR10 sound is via the built-in speaker. If you want to keep the QR10 sound to yourself, without bothering others, a pair of stereo headphones (miniature stereo phone plug type) plugged into the PHONES jack provides convenient monitoring while automatically shutting off the internal speaker system.

If you want to use an external stereo sound system, however, use the OUTPUT jack and an optional “Y” cable (miniature stereo phone plug to dual RCA pin plugs). The white RCA pin plug goes to the left-channel input of your stereo sound system and the red plug goes to the right-channel input.

If you will be connecting a guitar or keyboard to the INPUT jack, use a standard 1/4" phone-phone plug instrument cable.

Make sure that both the QR10 and your sound system are turned OFF when making connections.

CAUTION

■ Setting the Input Gain

The QR10 has two input gain settings: HI (high) and LO (low). Use the HI setting for microphone input. Use the LO setting for electric guitar, bass, electronic keyboards and other line-level sources. Here’s how to set the gain:

1 Press the [INPUT GAIN] key (this is the same

as the number-4 numeric key) while holding the [SHIFT] key.

2 Press the [–1] key to select the LO setting, or

the [+1] key to select the HI setting.

3 Press the [EXIT] key (this is the same as the

[PATTERN/SONG] key) to exit from the

INPUT GAIN function.

for playback in the PATTERN or SONG mode (> page 10).

5 [TEMPO] Key

The tempo of pattern and song playback can be set anywhere between 40 and 250 beats per minute by using this key (> page 13).

Page 13

3: The QR10 Controls (continued)

6 [–1] and [+1] Keys

These keys are used to select pattern numbers, song

numbers, tempo values, and many other numeric settings. The [–1] key decrements (decreases stepwise) the value, while the [+1] key increments (increases stepwise) the value. Press either key briefly to decrement or increment the parameter by one, or hold the key for continuous decrementing or incrementing in the specified direction (> page 10).

The [–1] and [+1] keys are also used to turn some func-

tions ON (+1) or OFF (–1).

7 Track Keys & Indicators

The track keys are used to independently turn the QR10’s five tracks (MELODY, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM) ON or OFF. This makes it possible to play back any specified group of tracks, or even a single track, as required (> page 16). When a track indicator is lit, the corresponding track is turned ON.

8 [PATTERN/SONG] Key

Use this key to switch between the QR10’s PATTERN and SONG modes. It also functions as an [EXIT] key that allows you to exit from any of the QR10’s other functional modes (> pages 10, 23).

9 [START/STOP] Key

Press the [START/STOP] key once to begin playback of the selected pattern or song, and a second time to stop playback (> page 9).

The [START/STOP] key also has a [CONTINUE] function: press [START/STOP] while holding the [SHIFT] key to continue playback from the point at which it was last stopped rather than starting again from the beginning of the pattern or song (> pages 11, 24). Other functions include record start/stop (> pages 29, 36), clear (> pages 34, 40), and copy (> pages 35, 41).

0 [RECORD] Key & Indicator

The [RECORD] key is used to engage the pattern and song record modes (> pages 28, 36). This key also selects the QR10’s QUANTIZE (> pages 31, 38) and METER (> page 38) functions, used when recording original patterns.

! Section Keys

These keys are used to select the 6 variations or “sections” provided for each of the QR10’s patterns: INTRO, NORMAL, VARIATION, FILL 1, FILL 2, and ENDING. The various sections can be selected while playing patterns in the PATTERN mode (> page 12), or in the SONG mode.

# [OCTAVE] Keys

Since the 1-octave range of the QR10 micro-keyboard

may not be sufficient for some operations, the [OCT ] and [OCT ] keys allow the pitch of the keyboard to be shifted up or down in octave steps, over a range of 5 octaves. Each time the [OCT ] key is pressed the pitch of the keyboard is shifted down by one octave, until the lower limit is reached. The [OCT ] key shifts the pitch of the keyboard up in the same way (> page 18).

$ Chord Type/Number Keys

These keys perform three different functions. When changing chords they are used to specify the chord

type (e.g. major, minor, seventh, etc.) (> page 14).

They can also be used for direct number entry in many

situations in which the [–1] and [+1] keys can be used to specify a value (> page 9).

If pressed while the [SHIFT] key is held these keys

access a range of other important functions:

• Voice sampling (> page 19).

• Input gain (> page 5).

• Foot switch operation (> page 11).

• Track volume (> page 21).

• Transposition (> page 21).

• MIDI bulk dump & synchronization (> pages 43, 44).

• MIDI ABC (Auto Bass Chord) (> page 44).

• Phrase-key phrase selection (> page 26).

• Pattern & song clear (> pages 34, 40).

• Pattern & song copy (> pages 35, 41).

• Repeat/swing (> pages 22, 24).

• Demo playback (> page 9).

% [SHIFT/DELETE] Key

As mentioned in $ “Chord Type/Number Keys”, above,

the [SHIFT/DELETE] key is used in conjunction with those keys to access a range of “shift functions”. It can also be used to delete mistakes and unwanted material in the pattern and song record modes (> pages 32, 40).

^ [CHORD PROGRESS] Key

When programming songs in the SONG mode, the

[CHORD PROGRESS] key can make entering even fastmoving chord progressions easy (> page 33). It can also be used to shift chord timing in the song playback mode.

& [PHRASE/CHORD SHIFT] Keys

In addition to playing any of 100 short phrases for added

variety and creative control during song playback (> page

26), these keys are used to access the “shift chords” listed above the chord type keys (> page 15).

@ Micro-keyboard

This miniature 1-octave keyboard, used in conjunction with the chord type keys (below), makes it easy to specify chord changes for your accompaniments (> page 14). It is also used to enter single notes when recording a melody track in the song mode (> page 31).

* VOLUME Control

The VOLUME control adjusts the volume of the sound delivered via both the OUTPUT and PHONES jacks. Slide the control toward you (i.e. toward the front of the QR10) to decrease the volume or toward the rear panel to increase the volume.

Set the VOLUME control to the lowest volume

CAUTION

when connecting the QR10 to a sound system for the first time, then gradually raise the volume level until the required listening level is reached. This simple precaution can prevent unexpectedly high volume levels from damaging your speaker system (and maybe even your ears!).

( Microphone

When no source is connected to the rear-panel INPUT

jack, the QR10’s “sampling voices” (voice numbers 69 and

70) can be recorded via this built-in microphone (> page 19).

4: Playing the Patterns & Their Variations

The QR10 allows you to select and play any of 100 different patterns:

• Pattern numbers 00 through 49 are preset patterns.

• 50 through 59 are “user” patterns that you can program from scratch (these patterns are initially empty).

• 60 through 99 are “combination” patterns that can easily be “assembled” by combining parts from different preset or user patterns.

The procedures for creating original combination and user patterns are described later in the manual. For now

we’ll learn how to select and play the QR10’s preset patterns and their variations.

Selecting & Playing a Pattern

1 Select the Pattern Mode

If PATTERN is showing in the upper left corner of the display, the pattern mode is already selected. If SONG is showing, however, press the [PATTERN/SONG] key to switch to the PATTERN mode.

2 Select a Pattern Number

Press the [PATTERN SELECT] key. “PSEL” will appear on the upper line of the display (“PSEL” is an abbreviation of “PATTERN SELECT”), and the number of the currently selected pattern will appear on the lower line.

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the number keys, to select the number of the pattern you want to play. When using the number keys to enter a pattern number, you must enter two digits. For example, to enter pattern number “35”, first press the [3] key and then the [5] key. To enter pattern number “9”, press the [0] key and then the [9] key.

The preset patterns are numbered from “00” to “49”.

Pattern Number Chord Type

Pressing the [–1] key briefly decreases the pattern number by one (technically, this is known

DETAIL

as “decrementing”), and pressing the [+1] key briefly increases (“increments”) the pattern number by one. If you press and hold either the [–1] or [+1] key, the pattern number will decrease or increase continuously and rapidly until the key is released. You can’t select a pattern number lower than “00” or higher than “99”.

The “Preset Pattern & Song List” to the right of the display lists the basic preset pattern

DETAIL

categories. A complete list is given in the “Appendix” on page 47.

Return to the Pattern Play Mode

Return to the pattern play mode either by pressing the [PATTERN SELECT] key a second time, or by pressing the [EXIT] key (this is the same as the [PATTERN/SONG] key). The selected pattern number appears under “PATTERN” on the display.

Page 17

4: Playing the Patterns & Their Variations (continued)

4 Start Playback

Press the [START/STOP] key to begin playback of the selected pattern. Make sure that the VOLUME control is set to an appropriate level.

■ The Beat Display

As the pattern plays, a triangular beat indicator will flash in time with the music, and two digits immediately below the flashing triangle show the current measure and beat. The left digit is the measure number, and right digit is the quarter-note or eighth-note beat within that measure.

The “Normal” variations of all the preset patterns consist of up to 4 measures that repeat continuously. The measure number will therefore go from “1” to “4”, and then

DETAIL

the beat number will go from “1” to “4” within each measure. The measure and beat numbers for one full cycle of a 4-measure pattern in 4/4 time are as follows.

back to “1” again. If the pattern is in 4/4 time (i.e. 4 quarter-notes per measure), then

5 Stop Playback

Pressing the [START/STOP] key while a pattern is playing stops playback immediately.

You can change patterns during playback by following the standard pattern selection procedure: press [PATTERN SELECT], use

HINT

the [–1] and [+1] or number keys to select a pattern, then press [EXIT].

Whenever you turn the QR10 power on, or select the PATTERN mode from the SONG mode, the

DETAIL

previously selected pattern number will automatically be re-selected.

■ To Continue Playback from the Point at Which It Was Stopped

Each time you press the [START/STOP] key

while playback is stopped the pattern will begin playing from the first beat of the first measure. If you press the [START/STOP] key while holding the [SHIFT] key, however, playback will continue from the point at which it was stopped.

■ Using a Footswitch for Start/Stop Control

If the QR10 FOOT SW function is turned ON, you can use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) connected to the

rear-panel INPUT jack to start and stop pattern playback instead of the panel [START/STOP] key. This leaves your hands free to play an instrument or perform other operations. To turn the FOOT SW function on:

1 Engage the FOOT SW Function

Press the [FOOT SW] key (the number “7” key)

while holding the [SHIFT] key to engage the FOOT SW function.

Page 18

3 Exit

Press the [EXIT] key when done.

Using the Pattern Variations

Each preset pattern has 6 variations or “sections” — INTRO, NORMAL, VARIATION, FILL 1, FILL 2, and ENDING.

INTRO................... introduction.

NORMAL.............. normal pattern, used for the “verse” of a song.

VARIATION ........ normally used as a chorus or bridge.

FILL 1 ................... fill-in 1, transition (from normal) to variation.

FILL 2 ................... fill-in 2, transition (from variation) to normal.

ENDING................ ending pattern.

Start

When the INTRO, FILL 1, and FILL 2 sections are selected, the section plays through once and is automatically followed by either the NORMAL or VARIATION pattern. INTRO is followed by NORMAL, FILL 1 is followed by VARIATION and FILL 2 is followed by NORMAL. The FILL 1 and FILL 2 patterns automatically provide smooth, “musical” transitions between the NORMAL and VARIATION sections. Playback stops automatically after the ENDING section.

The fill-ins — FILL 1 and FILL 2 — will play repeatedly as long as the button is held.

4: Playing the Patterns & Their Variations (continued)

You can change sections directly by pressing the appropriate section key. The newly selected section

— INTRO, NORMAL, VARIATION, or ENDING — will begin playing from the top of the next

measure. FILL 1 and FILL 2 begin as soon as the key is pressed. The newly selected section name will flash on the display until the new section actually begins playing.

Changing the Tempo

Engage the Tempo Change Mode

Press the [TEMPO] key to engage the tempo change mode. “TEMP” will appear on the display while the [TEMPO] key is held, the letter “T” (for Tempo) will appear, followed by the current tempo in quarter-notes per measure, when the [TEMPO] key is released.

2 Set the Tempo

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the number keys, to set the tempo as required. The slowest tempo is 40 beats per minute, and the fastest is 250.

DETAIL

The tempo value can be adjusted in 1-beat increments. As with pattern selection, pressing the

[–1] or [+1] key briefly decrements or increments the tempo value by 1, respectively. Press and hold the [–1] or [+1] key to continuously decrement or increment the tempo value. When using the number keys to enter a tempo value, you must enter two digits to enter values from 40 to 99, and three digits to enter tempo values from 100 to 250.

You can set the tempo either before starting playback of a pattern, or while a pattern is

HINT

playing.

Return to the Pattern Play Mode

Return to the pattern play mode either by pressing the [TEMPO] key a second time, or by pressing the [EXIT] key.

Page 20

4: Playing the Patterns & Their Variations (continued)

Any changes you make to the tempo of the preset patterns (00 — 49) are only temporary, and

DETAIL

the default value will be automatically restored as soon as you select a different pattern or mode. Tempo settings you make for original combination and user patterns (pages 36 and 37), however, are retained in memory even if the QR10 power is turned off and it is disconnected from the power supply (i.e. the batteries are removed or the AC adaptor is unplugged).

When the MIDI Synchronization function described on page 44 is turned ON, a series of dashes

DETAIL

appears on the display in place of the tempo value and the tempo cannot be changed (when MIDI Synchronization is ON the QR10’s playback tempo is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal).

Changing Chords

The QR10 features a sophisticated ABC (Auto Bass Chord) system that automatically re-harmonizes the accompaniment sound to match chords you specify. This makes creating complete accompaniments fast and easy … just select a pattern, then specify the required chord changes. Here’s how to specify chord changes.

1 Play a Pattern

Select and play one of the preset patterns, as described in the preceding section.

2 Enter a Chord

Note that the micro-keyboard is arranged in the form of a small piano keyboard, and has the appropriate chord root names “C” through “B” marked on the keys.

The chord type keys have chord types marked on the keys themselves as well as above the keys.

To enter a chord, press the key corresponding to the desired chord root together with the key corresponding to the desired chord type. To enter a G7 chord, for example, simultaneously press the “G” micro-keyboard key and the “7th” chord type key.

Note that the selected chord type is shown immediately below “CHORD” on the display, and that the fingering for the chord is

4: Playing the Patterns & Their Variations (continued)

The chord types listed above the chord type

keys are accessed by pressing the chord type key while holding either of the [CHORD SHIFT] keys (these are the same as the [PHRASE 1] and [PHRASE 2] keys).

To change the chord’s root without changing the chord type, just press the appropriate microkeyboard key.

You can also change only the chord type without changing the chord root by simply pressing the appropriate chord type key.

HINT

You can specify the first chord to be played before starting pattern playback.

Chords can be changed via the

DETAIL

micro-keyboard whenever the indicator block next to “CHORD” on the display is showing.

3 Stop playback when done.

Stop playback by pressing the [START/STOP] key. You can also stop playback after an appropriate ending by selecting

the ENDING section.

You can hear the various chords and chord types even while playback is stopped by simply

HINT

pressing the appropriate micro-keyboard and chord type keys.

Turning Tracks On and Off

The QR10 track keys can be used to mute (turn off) or turn on the corresponding track, either while playback is stopped or running.

If the LED indicator above a track key is lit, that track is ON, if the LED is not lit, the track is OFF (muted). Simply press the appropriate track key to turn that track on or off.

The MELODY track is only available when the QR10 is in the SONG mode (page 30). It cannot be turned on in the PATTERN mode.

DETAIL

The track keys are a handy way to turn tracks that you don’t want to hear off. You could, for example, turn the CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 tracks off, leaving only the bass and drum accompaniment. You could also mute the bass track if you just want drums.

MUSICAL

NOTE

All tracks are automatically turned ON when the QR10 power is initially turned on and when the PATTERN mode is selected from the SONG mode, or vice-versa.

5: More Creative Control

This chapter describes a range of features and functions that add to the QR10’s musical versatility: changing voices for each track, recording original “sampling voices”, setting the volume of each track for the best overall balance, transposition, and giving the patterns a swing feel.

Changing Voices

The QR10 has 70 preset voices, including a “rhythm” voice that contains 60 different drum and percussion instruments, that can be assigned to any of the accompaniment tracks. You can also record two original “sampling voices” that can be assigned in the same way (voice sampling is described in the next section).

Please note that voice changes made to the patterns are only temporary, and that the original

DETAIL

voices will be automatically restored as soon as a different pattern or mode is selected. You can make permanent voice assignments when programming your own combination or user patterns (pages 36 and 37).

1 Press the [VOICE SELECT] Key

“VSEL” will appear on the display while the [VOICE SELECT] key is held, then “MELO” will appear when the key is released, indicating that the melody voice can now be changed. Note that at the same time the MELODY track key indicator lights while all others go out.

2 Select a Track

Press a track key to select then track for which you want to select a new voice.

3 Select a Voice

Use either the [–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select a new voice for the selected track.

Refer to the “Voice List” to

■ The RHYTHM track.

When the RHYTHM track is selected, the drum and percussion instruments included in voice number 71 are individually assigned to each note (C1 through B5). Refer to the “Rhythm Voice List” on page 47 for the percussion assignment. You can also assign voices 69 and 70 (the “sampling voices,” described below, if they contain data) to specific notes by first pressing the required note on the micro-keyboard (use the [OCTAVE] keys if necessary) and then selecting the desired voice number by using the [–1] and [+1] or number keys.

5: More Creative Control (continued)

Voice Sampling

Voices number 69 and 70 are “SAMPLING VOICES” that you can record either via the built-in microphone or a sound source connected to the INPUT jack. Once recorded, your sampling voices can be selected and used in any track (including the RHYTHM track), just like the preset voices.

1 Engage the SAMPLING Mode

Press the [SAMPLING] key (numeric key “1”) while holding the [SHIFT] key to engage the sampling mode.

Select the Voice Number to Record

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys to select either voice number 69 or 70.

3 Engage the Record Mode

Press the [START/STOP] key to engage the record mode: the [RECORD] key indicator will light, but recording will not actually begin until the QR10 detects an input signal.

You can press the 3 key again at this point to exit from the sample recording mode.

DETAIL

4 Record

Recording will begin automatically as soon as the QR10 detects sound either via the built-in microphone or a source connected to the rear-panel INPUT jack. The [RECORD] key indicator will flash during recording, then recording will end automatically when the sampling memory is full (the recording time depends on the sampling frequency, which can be set as described in the following section).

The built-in microphone is automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into the INPUT

DETAIL

jack. Make sure that nothing is connected to the INPUT jack if you intend to record via the internal microphone.

■ Input Level Indicator

During recording the track-key LED indicators function as a bar-graph type level meter. The length of the “bar” formed by the track key indicators increases to the right as input level increases. For optimum sound quality, your input signal should cause most of the indicators to light, but not all. If all indicators light in response to the input signal you’re probably overloading the input circuitry and will end up with distorted sound. At the other extreme, if none of the indicators light, or only the MELODY indicator lights, then the input signal is too small and the level of the recorded sound will be too low.

Page 26

5: More Creative Control (continued)

5 Check the Recorded Sample

Play the micro-keyboard to hear how the recorded sample sounds. If the results are not satisfactory, go back to step 3 and

record again. Or go back to step 2, select the next SAMPLING VOICE number, and record the next sample.

Depending on the type of sound being recorded, the beginning or “attack” of the sound may not

DETAIL

be recorded.

6 Exit

When you’re satisfied with the recorded sample, press the [EXIT] key to exit from the SAMPLING mode.

■ Setting the Sampling Frequency

The length of the sample you can record and its sound quality are determined by the “sampling frequency”. Higher sampling frequencies produce better sound quality but shorter samples; lower sampling frequencies allow longer recording but with reduced sound quality. The QR10 gives you four sampling frequency settings:

When a transpose value other than “0” is set, an indicator block will appear next to “TRANSPOSE” on the display.

3 Exit

Press the [EXIT] key when done.

Making Your Patterns Swing

The SWING function can be used to give patterns a looser “swing” feel by slightly delaying odd-numbered 8th or 16th notes. Each pattern can be programmed with a different SWING setting. Swing settings can be made while playback is stopped or during playback, so you can immediately hear the effect.

1 Engage the SWING Function

During song playback the current chord is displayed immediately under “CHORD” on the display, and the next chord (i.e. the chord that will begin playing at the top of the next measure) is shown below the triangular beat indicator.

If you press a section key during song playback, the selected section — INTRO, NORMAL, VARIA-

DETAIL

TION, or ENDING — will begin playing from the top of the next measure (FILL 1 and FILL 2 begin as soon as the key is pressed), but only until the next programmed section change.

You can hear the current song played with a different pattern by simply selecting the desired

HINT

pattern: press [PATTERN SELECT], use [–1] and [+1] or the number keys to select a pattern, then press [EXIT].

4 Playback Stops Automatically

Playback will stop automatically at the end of the song. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/

STOP] key.

A footswitch connected to the rear-panel INPUT jack can be used to start and stop song

DETAIL

playback if the FOOT SW function is turned on (page 11).

■ To Continue Playback from the

Point at Which It Was Stopped

Each time you press the [START/STOP] key

while playback is stopped the song will begin playing from the first beat of the first measure. If you press the [START/STOP] key while holding the [SHIFT] key, however, playback will continue from the point at which it was stopped.

■ Starting Playback from a Specific Measure Number

You can start song playback from a specific measure number as follows:

1 Specify the Starting Measure

Before starting playback, hold the [SHIFT] key

and use the [–1] and [+1] keys to select the measure number from which you want playback to begin (the measure number appears after “m” on the upper line of the display). Don’t release the [SHIFT] key yet!

2 Start Playback

While still holding the [SHIFT] key, press the

[START/STOP] key to start playback.

When song playback is started in this way, the current measure number appears on the upper

DETAIL

display line instead of the usual song number and chord display. The current measure display can be selected during playback by pressing either [–1] or [+1] while holding [SHIFT]. Press [EXIT] to return to the normal song playback display. Please note, however, that the song will always start from the first measure after a temporary pattern change has been made in order to avoid improper playback due to differing time signatures.

Measure Number

■ Repeat Playback

The QR10 has a REPEAT function which causes the song being played to repeat continuously until stopped by pressing the

[START/STOP] key. To activate the REPEAT function:

Page 31

1 Engage the REPEAT Function

Press the [REPEAT/SWING] key (the number

“9” key) while holding the [SHIFT] key.

2 Turn REPEAT ON or OFF

Use the [+1] key to turn the repeat function ON,

or the [–1] key to turn the repeat function OFF, as required. When REPEAT is ON, an indicator block will appear next to “REPEAT” on the display.

3 Exit

Press the [EXIT] key to exit when done.

6: Playing the Preset Songs (continued)

■ Segment Repeat

To repeat playback of a specified segment of a song, start playback, press [REPEAT/SWING] while holding [SHIFT] at the beginning of the segment you want to repeat (the REPEAT indicator block will flash slowly), then press [REPEAT/SWING] while holding [SHIFT] again at the end of the segment you want to repeat (the REPEAT indicator

block will flash rapidly). The specified segment will continue to repeat until the segment repeat function is disengaged by pressing [REPEAT/SWING] while holding [SHIFT] a third time (the REPEAT indicator block will disappear).

If you stop and then re-start playback without disengaging the segment repeat function, the song will initially play through to the end of the repeat segment, then the segment will repeat continuously. Also note that the segment repeat function is automatically cancelled if you select a different song or mode.

■ Tempo Settings, Track Muting, Voice Selection, and Pattern Selection in the

SONG Mode

Tempo settings, track muting, voice selection, and pattern selection all function the same way in the SONG mode as they do in the PATTERN mode (selecting a different pattern changes the pattern used by the current song). With the preset songs, however, these changes are temporary and will only remain in effect until a different song or mode is selected. Further, pattern and voice changes made during preset song playback will be cancelled whenever a pre-programmed pattern or voice change is encountered during playback.

■ Volume Settings in the SONG

Mode

Volume settings are made in the SONG mode in basically the same way as the PATTERN mode (page 21), except that the CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM tracks can not be set independently. You can only select and set the volume for the MELODY track or the accompaniment (“ACMP”) tracks as a group — CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM. Individual track volume levels must be set for the corresponding pattern in the PATTERN mode.

Page 32

6: Playing the Preset Songs (continued)

The PHRASE Keys

Each of the QR10’s 50 preset songs has two preprogrammed “phrases” that can be played via the [PHRASE 1] and [PHRASE 2] keys. The phrases – short chords or decorative runs using a variety of voices — can be played at any time during playback to add extra variety to the accompaniment.

All the phrases are quite short (maximum length about 1 measure), but will only play as long as the [PHRASE] key is held. This means you can hold the key briefly to play just a short section of a phrase, as required. The phrase will repeat continuously as long as the key is held.

■ Selecting Different Phrases

The QR10 PHRASE SELECT function makes it possible to independently select different phrases for the [PHRASE 1] and [PHRASE 2] keys. You can, for example, select the phrases from two different songs for use while playing a third song.

1 Select the Song to Play

Select the song you intend to play in the normal way.

Engage the PHRASE SELECT Function

Press the [PHRASE SELECT] key (the “m6” chord type key) while holding the [SHIFT] key.

3 Select a [PHRASE] Key

Press the PHRASE key — [PHRASE 1] or [PHRASE 2] — for which you want to select a

different phrase.

Page 33

7: Recording Original Songs

This section describes how you can create original songs based on the preset patterns or original patterns created as described in the next chapter. You can record section, chord, pattern, and tempo changes for plenty of musical versatility. You can even record a “melody” track to add extra life to your song.

Basic Song Recording

With the QR10, recording original songs is a straightforward, simple process: once you’ve engaged the record mode and made the initial settings, all you have to do is start recording and enter the required section and chord changes.

1 Select the Song Mode

PATTERN

SONG

When you select an “empty” song (i.e. one that contains no data), a series of dashes appear

DETAIL

below “PATTERN” and CHORD” on the display rather than the usual pattern number and chord. If a pattern number and chord appear on the display the song already contains data. Nothing will appear below “PATTERN” and “CHORD”, however, if the song only contains melody-track data.

You can completely erase individual songs in the user song memory by using the CLEAR function

HINT

described on page 34.

3 Engage the Record Ready Mode

Press the [RECORD] key to engage the record ready mode. The [RECORD] key indicator will light. The CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM track indicators should also light.

If the MELODY track indicator lights instead (this means the melody track is selected for recording — described later) press any track key other than the MELODY track key so that the CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM track indicators do light.

4 Select a Pattern

Select the pattern on which you want to base your song: press [PATTERN SELECT] and then use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the number keys, to select a pattern number.

Then press [PATTERN SELECT] again, or the [EXIT] key, to return to the record ready mode.

DETAIL

You can base your song on a preset pattern, or select an original “combination” or “user” pattern created as described on pages 36 and 37, respectively.

Page 35

5 Select a Section

Use the section keys to select the section you

want to start the song with.

6 Set the Record Tempo

You can select a slower (to make recording easier)

or faster tempo as required in the normal way: press [TEMPO] and then use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the number keys, to set the required tempo.

Then press [TEMPO] again, or the [EXIT] key, to

return to the record ready mode.

7 Enter the Starting Chord

Before actually starting to record, enter the first

chord in the normal way.

The record ready mode can be

DETAIL

disengaged at any time prior to actually starting recording (the next step) by pressing the [RECORD] or [EXIT] key.

7: Recording Original Songs (continued)

8 Start Recording

Press the [START/STOP] key to start recording. The QR10 metronome will sound and you will be given a two-measure

count-in. The count-in is indicated on the display, below the triangular beat indicator, by minus numbers from “–8” to “–1” if the selected pattern is in 4/4 time, and from “–6” to “–1” if the selected pattern is in 3/4 time. No recording occurs during the count-in.

DETAIL

The QR10 metronome accents the first beat of each measure by playing it at a higher pitch.

HINT

When recording over previously recorded data (see “Overdubbing”, below), you can start recording from any specified measure by using the technique described in “Starting Playback from a Specific Measure Number” on page 24: hold the [SHIFT] key and use the [–1] and [+1] keys to select the starting measure number, then (still holding the [SHIFT] key) press the [START/STOP] key.

9 Enter Section and Chord Changes

The initially selected pattern, section, and chord will begin playing after the count-in, and you can then enter the required section and chord changes in exactly the same way as in the PATTERN mode. All section and chord changes are recorded exactly as they are entered.

DETAIL

[PATTERN SELECT] and then use the number keys to select a pattern number. Then press [PATTERN SELECT] again, or the [EXIT] key, to return to the record mode.

You should use the number keys rather than the [–1] and [+1] keys to record pattern changes in order to switch directly to the desired pattern. Tempo changes made in the normal way are also recorded, so you can create “accelerando” and “ritardando” passages by changing the tempo with the [+1] and [–1] keys, or sudden tempo changes by entering a new tempo via the number keys, as required.

You can also record pattern changes by selecting different patterns in the normal way: press

11 Play Your Song

You can now play your song in the same way as the preset songs.

■ Overdubbing

“Overdubbing” refers to the technique of recording additional section, chord, or pattern changes to a song which has already been recorded. With the QR10 this is a simple process. Simply press the [RECORD] key to engage the record ready mode, press [START/STOP] to start recording, and record the required changes. The initially recorded data is not affected by the overdubbing process, and you can overdub as many times as necessary to build up complicated chord changes, for example.

■ Recording a MELODY Track

After recording the basic song accompaniment tracks, you might want to record a melody track to add a little extra life to your creation. Unlike the accompaniment tracks, the melody track records exactly what you play on the QR10 micro-keyboard or an external keyboard connected to the rear-panel MIDI IN connector. You can play decorative phrases or chords, or a complete melody line. You can also assign any of the QR10’s voices to the melody track.

Engage the Record Ready Mode

After selecting the song to which you want to add a melody track, press the [RECORD] key to engage the record ready mode. The [RECORD] key indicator will light.

2 Select the MELODY Track

If the MELODY track indicator is not lit, press the [MELODY] track key. The MELODY track indicator will light and all other track indicators will go out.

3 Select a Voice

Select the voice you want to use for the melody track: press the [VOICE SELECT] key and, while trying out the voices on the micro-keyboard, use the [–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select the desired voice.

Press [VOICE SELECT] again or the [EXIT] key to return to the record ready mode when done.

Page 37

7: Recording Original Songs (continued)

The record ready mode can be disengaged at any time prior to actually starting recording (the

DETAIL

next step) by pressing the [RECORD] or [EXIT] key.

The QR10 lets you record the [PHRASE] key phrases as well as individual notes. If you intend

HINT

to use the [PHRASE] keys during recording, you should also select the phrases you want to use at this point.

Set a Quantize Value If Necessary

Quantization ensures that all notes are aligned to the nearest specified beat. Press the [RECORD] key while holding the [SHIFT] key to engage the quantize function.

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys to turn quantization off or set an appropriate quantize value (8, 16, 32, 12, 24, 48, off). If a quantize of “16” is selected, then all notes will be aligned to the nearest 16th note. When quantization is turned off, notes are recorded with maximum resolution.

MUSICAL

Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judiciously, however,

NOTE

because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical — unless, of course, you’re specifically aiming for a cold, mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at least as “short” as the shortest notes you intend to record.

Quantize Value

5 Start Recording

Press the [START/STOP] key to start recording. After the usual 2-measure count-in, you can start recording your melody track by playing on the QR10 micro-keyboard or a MIDI keyboard connected to the QR10 MIDI IN connector (you can also record phrases by pressing the appropriate [PHRASE] key). When using the QR10 micro-keyboard, you will have to use the [OCTAVE] keys to shift octaves as required.

You can also record voice changes on the melody track, either during initial recording or

DETAIL

overdubbing, by selecting voices in the normal way. You should use the number keys rather than the [–1] and [+1] keys to record voice changes in order to switch directly to the desired voice.

If you record from an external MIDI keyboard, sustain, pitch bend, and program change (voice

The Song Clear & Copy Functions

■ Song Clear

The SONG mode CLEAR function completely erases the selected “user” song. If you want to save the song data before clearing the song from the QR10 memory to make room for new material, use the MIDI BULK DUMP function, described on page 43, to transfer the song data to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.

1 Select a Song

Select the song you want to clear (only song numbers 50 through 99 can be cleared).

2 Engage the CLEAR Function

Press the [CLEAR] key (the number “3” key) while holding the [SHIFT] key.

3 Select the Track(s) to Clear

You can clear the MELODY and accompaniment tracks independently by selecting the appropriate tracks prior to executing the clear function. The accompaniment tracks — CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, RHYTHM — are selected as a group.

4 Press [START/STOP] to Clear

Press the [START/STOP] key to actually clear the selected song, or [EXIT] to exit from the CLEAR function.

CAUTION

Turning the QR10 power OFF during execution of the clear or copy function may result in loss

of all data and possibly damage the QR10!

IMPORTANT

the song number to be cleared does not contain any data you want to keep before executing the CLEAR function. Data can be saved prior to clearing by moving it to a different song number with the COPY function, described below, or by transferring it to an external MIDI data storage device such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer by using the MIDI BULK DUMP function (page 43).

Any previous data in the specified song location will be completely erased. Make sure that

8: Recording Original Patterns

The QR10 provides two types of patterns that you can program yourself and then use in songs in the same way

as the preset patterns:

• 50 through 59 are “user” patterns that you can program from scratch.

• 60 through 99 are “combination” patterns that can easily be “assembled” by combining parts from different preset or user patterns.

Recording the Combination Patterns

The QR10’s combination patterns — pattern numbers 60 through 99 — make it easy to create new patterns by simply combining different tracks from different patterns. You could, for example, combine a rock rhythm track with a jazz bass track and chord tracks from, say, one country and one Latin pattern. This makes it possible to create a virtually unlimited range of new sounds without the need for complicated programming procedures. Here’s how:

1 Select the PATTERN Mode

If the pattern mode is not already selected, press the [PATTERN/SONG] key to select it.

2 Select a Combination Pattern

Press the [PATTERN SELECT] key and use the [–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select a pattern number between 60 and 99 (the COMBINATION patterns).

3 Select a Section

The six sections for each combination patterns can be recorded separately. Use the section keys to select the section you want to record.

The [INTRO/ENDING] key

DETAIL

alternately selects the INTRO and ENDING sections.

4 Engage the Record Ready Mode

Press the [RECORD] key to engage the record ready mode. The [RECORD] key indicator will light.

5 Start Recording

7 Enter a Pattern Number

Use either the [–1] and [+1] or number keys to enter the number of the pattern from which the part for the selected track is to be taken. Playback will start from the beginning of the pattern as soon as a new pattern number is entered.

8 Repeat Steps 6 and 7 For All Tracks

Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the desired parts are assigned to all four accompaniment tracks: CHORD 1, CHORD 2, BASS, and RHYTHM.

9 Stop Recording

Press the [START/STOP] key to stop recording when your combination pattern is complete.

10 Record the Remaining Sections

Repeat the above procedure to record the remaining sections of your combination pattern.

Recording the User Patterns

1 Select the PATTERN Mode

If the pattern mode is not already selected, press the [PATTERN/SONG] key to select it.

2 Select a User Pattern

Press the [PATTERN SELECT] key and use the [–1] and [+1] keys or the number keys to select a pattern number between 50 and 59 (the USER patterns).

The user patterns are initially

4 Engage the Record Ready Mode and Set the Quantization, Time Signature, and

Pattern Length (Measure)

Each time the [RECORD] key is pressed while the [SHIFT] key is held, the quantize, time signature, and pattern length (Measure) functions are selected in sequence. This also engages the record ready mode (the [RECORD] key indicator will light).

■ Quantize

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys to turn

quantization off or set an appropriate quantize value (8, 16, 32, 12, 24, 48, off). Quantization ensures that all notes are aligned to the nearest specified beat. If a quantize of “16” (the default value) is selected, then all notes will be aligned to the nearest 16th note. When quantization is turned off, notes are recorded with maximum resolution.

MUSICAL

Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judiciously, however,

NOTE

Quantize Value

■ Time Signature (TS)

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys to set the time signature as required. The available time signatures are:

Time Signature

The upper number on the display (next to “TS”, for “Time Signature”), corresponds to the upper number of the time signature (i.e. the number of beats per measure), and the lower number on the display corresponds to the lower number of the time signature (i.e. the length of each beat: “4” = quarter notes; “8” = 8th notes).

■ Pattern Length

Use the [–1] and [+1] keys to specify the number of measures in the pattern — from 1 to 8 measures.

IMPORTANT

length parameters can only be changed if the selected user pattern is empty. If the selected pattern contains any data at all “Err 2” (Error 2: Illegal Input) will appear on the display. If this happens, press any key to exit from the error display.

Play the required part either on the micro-keyboard or via an external MIDI keyboard. The pattern will repeat from the first to last measure, so you can continue to add notes until the current part is complete.

If you record from an external MIDI keyboard, sustain and pitch bend data will also be

The Pattern Clear & Copy Functions

■ Pattern Clear

The PATTERN mode CLEAR function completely erases the specified section of the selected user pattern. If you want to save the pattern data before clearing the pattern from the QR10 memory to make room for new material, use the MIDI BULK DUMP function, described on page 43, to transfer the song data to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.

1 Select a Pattern and Section

Select the pattern you want to clear (only pattern numbers 50 through 59 can be cleared). Use the section keys to select the section of the pattern you want to clear.

2 Engage the CLEAR Function

Press the [CLEAR] key (the number “3” key) while holding the [SHIFT] key.

3 Select the Track(s) to Clear

Use the track keys to select the track or tracks you want to clear.

of all data and possibly damage the QR10!

IMPORTANT

pattern to be cleared does not contain any data you want to keep before executing the CLEAR function. Data can be saved prior to clearing by moving it to a different pattern number with the COPY function, described below, or by transferring it to an external MIDI data storage device such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer by using the MIDI BULK DUMP function (page 43).

Any previous data in the specified pattern will be completely erased. Make sure that the

■ Pattern Copy

The PATTERN mode COPY function can simplify pattern programming by letting you copy any section of an existing pattern — preset, combination, or user — to a new user pattern number, in which it can be modified as required.

1 Select the Source Pattern and Section

Select the pattern you want to copy. This can be any of the preset, combination, or user patterns. Use the section keys to select the section of the pattern you want to copy.

2 Engage the COPY Function

9: MIDI Utilities

The QR10 provides two MIDI utilities — Bulk Dump and Sync — that allow it to be used with other MIDI equipment.

Bulk Dump

Although the QR10 has memory for 50 user/ combination patterns and 50 user songs, you might

MIDI OUT

want to save your pattern and song data to an external device to allow greater storage capacity or simply to protect your data from accidental erasure or corruption. An ideal storage device for use with

INOUT

the QR10 is the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.

To save all pattern and song data from the QR10 to the MDF2 (the sampling voice data is also saved), first connect the QR10 MIDI OUT to the MDF2 MIDI IN via a MIDI cable, and prepare the MDF2 for reception (refer to the MDF2 operation manual).

Next, press the QR10 [MIDI] key (the number “5” key) once while holding the [SHIFT] key (if you press [MIDI] twice while holding [SHIFT] you’ll select the Sync Mode function, described below).

MIDI IN

When you’re ready to transmit the data to the MDF2, press [START/STOP]. A flashing triangle will appear on the display while the data is being transmitted, and “End” will appear briefly when the transmission is complete.

The QR10 always transmits on MIDI channel 1.

DETAIL

■ Bulk Reception of Song & Pattern Data

In the PATTERN or SONG mode the QR10 will automatically receive bulk song and pattern data transmitted from the MDF2.

To receive bulk data make sure that the MIDI OUT of the MDF2 (or other device) is connected to the MIDI IN of the QR10.

The QR10 always receives in the MIDI “omni” mode.

MIDI Synchronization Mode

Select this function by pressing the QR10 [MIDI] key (the number “5” key) twice while holding the [SHIFT] key (or press [MIDI] once while holding [SHIFT] if the MIDI Bulk Dump function, described above, is already selected).

Use the [–1] key to turn MIDI sync off, or the [+1] key to turn it on.

When MIDI sync is turned off (“,F” on the display) the QR10 is controlled by its own internal clock.

When turned “on”, the QR10 is controlled by a MIDI clock signal received from an external device such as a sequencer or music computer. An indicator block will appear next to “MIDI SYNC” on the display. Please note that the QR10 will not run on its own when this parameter is turned “on”.

The QR10 as an ABC Expander

The QR10 features an advanced ABC (Auto Bass Chord) system that can be controlled from an external keyboard, making it useful as an ABC expander module. When the MIDI ABC function is turned on, you can change chords during pattern playback (and song accompaniment track recording) simply by playing the appropriate chord in the specified section of the external MIDI keyboard.

■ The ABC Settings

Each time the [MIDI ABC] key (the number “8” key) is pressed while the [SHIFT] key is held, the “ABC”, “LOWr”, and “UPPr” parameters are selected in sequence.

■ ABC: MIDI ABC Mode ON/OFF

Use the [–1] key to turn MIDI ABC off

■ LOWr: Lower ABC Zone Limit

■ UPPr: Upper ABC Zone Limit

The “LOWr” and “UPPr” parameters set the range of notes in which chords played will be recognized by the QR10 ABC system. “LOWr” specifies the lowest note, and “UPPr” specifies the highest note in the range. The maximum range is from “00” (the MIDI note number representing C-2) to “127” (the MIDI note number representing G8).

When ABC is turned “on”, chords played within the specified ABC range will be recognized by the ABC system and the accompaniment chord will change accordingly during pattern playback or song accompaniment track recording. Chords played within the specified range of an external MIDI keyboard connected to the QR10 MIDI IN connector are recognized.

Total Reset Procedure

The following procedure can be used to reset all QR10 parameters to their initial default settings, and clear all user memory

(user patterns and songs — the combination patterns are reset to their default contents).

This procedure will erase any patterns and songs you have recorded! Be sure to save data you

want to keep to an MIDI storage

Voice List & Polyphony Information

The QR10 has 28-note “polyphony.” This simply means that it can produce a maximum of 28 notes at the same time. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded — this includes all notes on the accompaniment and melody tracks — some of the notes will be truncated and will therefore not sound. Also note that some of the voices listed below use more than one “element” (the “EL” column). Each element uses one polyphony note, so when notes having multiple elements are used the maximum polyphony is actually less than 28 notes.
