Hi Prea,

thanks for (testing and) sharing your front light mod. I was able to do
the same with QY70 (a bit different board layout but it had the same
soldering points) and... I'm underwhelmed by the result :D It went from
"I can't se jack" to "I can see *something*". Long story short - I
still have to use a lamp cause a backlight LCD screen is impossible to
find.

PS
That mod reminded my why I've sold Gameboy Advance and bought Gameboy
Advance SP :D

?By the way, the effect screen in song or pattern mode is the second screen (so hit song button twise or hit pattern button twice).

One if the effect screen you have knobs for chorus/reverb/and variation.

Also while on the screen if you press the menu button you will get options to open either the chorus/reverb screen to tweak the settings, or open the voice screen which allows you to modify the LFO settings and the envelope (except no sustain, just Attack, Decay and Release as I recall).

Hitting song button again allows you to set the routing so you can send ?the added chorus effects to reverb section... If you hit menu on this screen I believe you have the option to open the variation effect screen to select and modify the variation effect.

Main thing to keep in mind is that each of the three song/pattern screens will also change the available items in the menu, so just make sure to recheck the menu and you loop thru the song or pattern screens. ?

Menu is always important to check as it is sensitive to whatever is on screen. ?For example in the 1st song window open the menu then select job the hit menu again and you can jump thru the job list faster as the menu is now a list of job shortcuts.

This sort of thing happens alot in the QY and makes the menu system very deep, but also fairly easy to navigate once you understand the hierarchy of the menus (they are also listed in the manual I believe).

Hope thus helps.

?Peter- In pattern mode, scroll left to the D1, D2, PC areas and hold the -1 NO button down next to the parts you wish to mute. A capital M will appear, meaning you have muted those tracks. A +1 YES will solo that track (S) depending on whether you have silenced every other track. Did that help? Now, I have a request for all members. Could you walk me through adding effects to tracks or finished songs? Any ideas or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sync by midi clock works fine. I just cant seem to find a way to do this but I know I used to be able to on my old QY20.

Thanks

?Which kind of effects?

Reverb and chorus are easily adjustable per track.

Variation effects can be set to system (all tracks) or insertion (to a single track)...then just adjust the amount of wet/dry for each track, or to a single insertion track (and check the box for the insertion track).

Outside of QY you can pump an audio track thru any number of guitar foot pedals, analog synths, etc.

Hope that helps.

Hi prea, good seeing you in this forum too.
I will advise against replacing the QY screen for an AN1x screen, since
they are different. I own an AN1x (and in the AN1x mailing list too) and
it has been mentioned before that it is a custom hybrid screen.
see this image: AN1x screen
<>
You can see the pixel area (title of the patch) and the EDIT, UNISON and
POLY images are custom built on the LCD.
Also, it is known that the AN1x backlight may die (mine is perfect, but
it is a known problem).

Hello everyone
Is anyone familiar with clearing the internal memory??

I can’t find any info in the book?
My card still says I have plenty available. But am I correct?
in assuming this has nothing to do with the internal memory?
As it stands I can’t do anything in regards to recording?
Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated

Thanks Dan?
