Jonah,

I have done quite a bit as far as unlocking or making accessible pretty much all of the parameters of the QY 70/QY100¡­ But it requires a Novation Remote SL MKII¡­ either the 25, 37, 48 or 60 key versions.

It¡¯s basically a remap of all of the controls many times over to access all parameters of the 24 QY tracks (meaning song and pattern simultaneously wherever possible) including all the parameters of the variation effects, chorus, reverb, pan, LFO, Res, ADSR, volume, etc, etc¡­ if you look up the Novation Remote SL MK II you¡¯ll notice that it has a lot of knobs sliders and buttons¡­ My template is 17 pages long with a (button driven) built-in navigation¡­so that¡¯s about 17 times all those buttons knobs and controllers at your fingertips (with features of the novation, such as spilt keyboard added into the mix)¡­

I think I covered just about everything including some experimental stuff like multi-track instrument integration and combinations.

The dual 140+ character LCDs made this possible on the novwtion without being incredibly cryptic¡­ Which is why I selected that for creating it¡­ The only problem is their pc window system for making these types of templates is a bit buggy and has some serious bugs that I needed to work around so it took quite a while to get it to its current state¡­ though you don¡¯t need it to use it, it¡¯s standalone on the device.

I have always planned to make a video showing off how to use it before releasing it, however, if you were interested in giving it a try I would be very interested in the feedback.

Cheers,
Eric

Lately, I've been playing around a lot with the effects and under-the-hood Sysex parameters. I wanted to see how far I could push them using delays and distortion.

I was able to tweak the settings so I had 5+ delays (isolating the predelays/delays/feedback delays for all three slots, and minimizing parameter effects). Working on some comb filtering and physical modeling/resonator effects.

Re: distortions, I was able to overdrive the internal blocks and color the grit using effect send routing, the hidden EQ settings, and return levels. Also possible to overdrive the mixer internally, and even the hardware audio out. With careful gain staging, this opens up many possibilities.

XG's thoughtful specs afford a surprising degree of sound design/synthesis control when thinking laterally! Anyone else using the QY's this way?

Will post more findings as they come.
