Hi All,
Steve here. Long time amateur and small time semi-pro musician. I play guitars, keys and some winds with varying success, and I also sometimes sing.
I am trying to put together a set of backing tracks for a for a portable "busking" setup. The flexibility and power to weight ratio of the QY70 seems perfect for the job.
?
I am looking for drums and bass only. This is important to give me the maximum scope for improvising over the top, whilst still giving me recognisable support of structure, rhythm and key.
It is important to me that, in performance, I need to do as little as possible in order to setup and and kick off each song. Selecting a song number is mandatory, adjusting tempo or key is tolerable where necessary. Any more steps than these will swiftly become a burden.
?
In terms of developing the songs themselves, I am still interested in maximum efficiency/minimum steps to achieve my goal, although I can handle some one time pain if necessary for best result. Therefore, it would suit me if I could make use of the Chord Template functionality, in the first instance and perhaps permanently. And it comes so close to satisfying my needs. The issue is the I cant mute or otherwise silence tracks C1-C4 (21-24) from song playback. It certainly looks as though it should, but those chords etc just persist. Am I missing or misunderstanding something here? If I absolutely need to insert a Sysex message, can somebody please point me towards some hand holding assistance that may have been previously given (anywhere).
?
Any help is welcome. I'm over here in Australia, so time differences can delay responses. Patience is a virtue (I tell myself).
Steve
