Precautions

Your QY22 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 instru-

ment 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.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric

storms.

• Avoid plugging an AC power adaptor used with

the QY22 into the same AC outlet as appli-

ances 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 sys-

tem, for example), turn the power switches of all

related devices OFF prior to connecting or dis-

connecting 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 instru-

ment.

Precautions

The backup battery should last for several

years. When the backup battery needs to be

replaced “Backup Batt. Low!” 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 BAT-

TERY YOURSELF!

• Internal memory data can be corrupted due to

incorrect operation. We recommend that you

use the QY22 MIDI bulk dump utility (see page

163 for details) to transfer important data to a

MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2

for safe long-term storage. Yamaha cannot be

held responsible for data loss caused by battery

failure or improper operation of the QY22!

■ Service and Modification

• The QY22 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.

• 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 instru-

ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the sur-

face).

■ 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 af-

fected equipment.

■ Data Backup

• The QY22 contains a special long-life battery

that retains the contents of its internal RAM

memory even when the power is turned OFF.

What It Is …

The QY22 is a complete music production system with tone generator, sequencer, and auto-

accompaniment capability all integrated with a sophisticated control interface. It has 3

modes that provide access to its 3 main functional blocks: the VOICE mode, the SONG

mode, and the PATTERN mode.

VOICE Mode ————————————————————————————

1 The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do

The QY22’s internal AWM tone generator provides full General

MIDI Level 1 compatibility with 128 top-quality General MIDI

voices plus 8 complete drum kits with different drum and percussion

instruments assigned to different notes. You can assign any of these

voices to the internal sequencer tracks (➪ page 38), or play them di-

rectly from an external keyboard or other MIDI controller via the

MIDI interface (➪ page 168).

DETAIL

See the Appendix (page 172) for a complete list of the QY22 voices.

Think of the QY22 SONG mode as an 8-track tape recorder or 8-

part score that lets you record different parts of a musical composition

one at a time, and then play them back all together. You can even edit

certain parts after they’ve been recorded to correct mistakes and fine-

tune the overall sound. The QY22 has an internal memory that will

hold up to 20 complete songs. For extra storage capacity you can use

the MIDI bulk dump utility to transmit the song data to a MIDI data

recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 (➪ page 163).

The SONG mode’s 8 tracks are actually divided into 2 4-track

groups: tracks 1 through 4 are the sequencer tracks, while the re-

maining 4 tracks are the accompaniment tracks. The difference is

described below.

1 The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do

● The Sequencer Tracks

The QY22 sequencer has 4 “normal” sequencer tracks to

which you can individually assign any of the 128 internal

voices (or 8 drum kits if desired), and record just about any-

thing you like either via the QY22’s own micro keyboard or

an external keyboard connected to the QY22 MIDI IN connec-

tor. You can use the real-time record mode (➪ page 109) so

that the QY22 records exactly what you play as you play it, or

the step record mode (➪ page 115) in which notes can be en-

tered one at a time. The step record mode lets you record ex-

tremely fast or complex passages that would be impossible to

play in real time.

The remaining four tracks are dedicated to producing accompani-

ment: the chord 1 and chord 2 tracks, a bass track, and a drum

track. The accompaniment tracks differ from the sequencer tracks in

2 ways:

1. Accompaniments are produced by specifying a sequence of pat-

terns to be played rather than by recording individual notes or

chords (➪ page 52). The QY22 has 100 preset patterns that you

can simply select and use, and can store up to 100 original pat-

terns you create in the PATTERN mode (➪ page 78).

1 The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do

2. The accompaniment tracks feature Yamaha’s advanced ABC

(Auto Bass Chord) auto-accompaniment system (➪ page 47).

Of course, you can create accompaniments without using ABC

if you like.

The QY22 PATTERN mode produces the accompaniment patterns

that are used by the SONG mode accompaniment tracks. The best of

the QY20’s preset patterns have been incorporated into the QY22’s

preset patterns as well as some powerfully new patterns created espe-

cially for the QY22. 100 preset patterns are provided (each with 6

variations: Intro, Normal, Variation, Fill-in 1, Fill-in 2, and Ending)

that you can simply select and use to create accompaniments in a

wide variety of styles (➪ page 42). In the PATTERN mode you can

also record entirely original patterns that you’ll later string together in

the SONG mode to create a complete accompaniment track (➪ page

52). The ABC auto-accompaniment feature can be applied to your

own patterns. The QY22 can store up to 100 original patterns, and

you can use the MIDI bulk dump utility to transmit pattern data to a

MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 if you want extra stor-

age capacity (➪ page 163).

DETAIL

See the Appendix (page 180) for a complete list of the preset patterns.

1 The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do

What It Can Do …

Here are a few ideas on how you can use the QY22. There’s no way we can cover all pos-

sibilities, but the ideas presented might help to spark some new and interesting applications.

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 in-

stead of just a metronome or drum machine (➪ page 52).

Use the drum kit voices to record on the sequencer tracks, or record

drum-only patterns in the PATTERN mode that you can later string

together in the SONG mode. You can also use the drum tracks from

the preset patterns (➪ page 75).

1 The QY22: What It Is & What It Can Do

● Compose & Arrange

● Serious Music Production

● Use It As a Tone Generator

● Add ABC Capability to Your

MIDI Keyboard

The QY22’s outstanding voices, versatile sequencing capability,

and in-depth editing features make it a perfect tool for trying out mu-

sical ideas and arrangements. It’s also a great way to present your

ideas to others (➪ page 108).

Use the QY22 as an adjunct to serious music recording and pro-

duction. It can, for example, be MIDI-clock synchronized to other

MIDI equipment in order to add extra tracks to an arrangement (➪

page 160).

The QY22’s AWM tone generator is in no way a compromise. You

get outstanding AWM sound quality that’s on a par with some of the

finest full-size synthesizers. You can select and play the QY22 voices

remotely from just about any MIDI keyboard, computer, or other con-

troller (➪ page 168).

Use the QY22 as an “ABC expander” for your MIDI keyboard.

Auto-accompaniment can make playing at home more fun, and it can

be a tremendous sound-booster at 1-performer live gigs (➪ page 170).

About General MIDI

The QY22 is fully compatible with the General MIDI System Level 1 Standard.

As you probably know, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) makes it possi-

ble for various electronic musical instruments and other devices to “communicate” with

each other. For example, by connecting a sequencer to a synthesizer, you can play back

a songs data on the sequencer using the voices of the synthesizer.

But until General MIDI came along, the problem has been that voice assignments

had never been standardized. So, if you were to create a song using tone generator A’s

piano voice and then play it back on tone generator B, it might be played back as an

organ voice. This is because each company has used it’s own voice assignments in it’s

products.

The General MIDI Level 1 Standard was developed to solve this problem. The most

important feature of General MIDI is the standardization of voices. This means that a

song recorded in the General MIDI format can be played back on any General MIDI

compatible tone generator and sound just as the composer had intended.
