Press the [TRANSPOSE] key (the number "2" key) while holding the [SHIFT] key. 2 Set the Required Degree of Transposition Use the [­1] and [+1] keys to set the transpose value as required. The transposition range is from "­12" (down one octave) to "+12" (up one octave). A setting of "0" produces normal pitch. 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 Press the [REPEAT/SWING] key (the number "9" key) while holding the [SHIFT] key. The SWING function is only DETAIL available in the PATTERN mode. In the SONG mode, pressing [REPEAT/SWING] while holding [SHIFT] engages the REPEAT function (page 24). 2 Set the Swing Value Use the [­1] and [+1] keys to set the swing value as required. The higher the value the greater the effect. The "E4" and "S2" settings produce a triplet effect. (Off, E1 -- E9, S1 -- S5) 3 Exit Press the [EXIT] key when done. Swing settings made in the PATTERN mode are retained in memory and remain in effect when the DETAIL pattern is used in the SONG mode. 22 6: Playing the Preset Songs The QR10 allows you to select and play any of 100 different songs: · Song numbers 00 through 49 are preset songs . . . pre-programmed sequences of pattern variations and chords. · 50 through 99 are "user" songs that you can program yourself. We'll learn how to create original songs in section "7: Recording Original Songs" (page 28). In this section we'll learn how to select and play the QR10's preset songs. Selecting & Playing a Song 1 Select the Song Mode If PATTERN is showing in the upper left corner of the display, press the [PATTERN/SONG] key to switch to the SONG mode. Pattern Number Chord Type Song Number 2 Select a Song Number Use the [­1] and [+1] keys or the numeric keys to select the number of the song you want to play. The preset songs are numbered from "00" to "49". If you select a song number DETAIL between 50 and 99, and the song has not yet been recorded, a series of dashes will appear on the display. or 3 Start Playback Press the [START/STOP] key to begin playback of the selected song. Make sure that the VOLUME control is set to an appropriate level. As the pattern plays a triangular beat indicator will flash in time with the music. s The SONG Mode Chord Display 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, VARIADETAIL 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. 23 6: Playing the Preset Songs (continued) 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). s 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. s 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! Measure Number 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.
