Changing the pattern length that contain user phrases

 

Greetings,

I am working with some syncopated phrases and I put them into a pattern in the QY100 to turn it into a loop trainer because I don't think it has an AB function.

I found that after I did that I could not change the pattern length so that I could focus on the first two bars of a four bar phrase for example.

Is there a work around?

Thank you.

am a bit out of practice so i can't remember exactly but you can set a different length for another style Section and either copy the track data into it, or use Put Phrase/Get Phrase chucking it over a Song mode track and back. in my case i wanted to extend a part, and managed to get it to copy out to the new longer length.

Unlike the QY700, the QY100 and QY70 only allow you to set the pattern length before adding any chords or notes. ? but as mentioned previously you can create a new pattern with a shorter length and copy into it from an existing pattern.

Another possibility (that I have not tried) is to create the long pattern and then use song mode to switch patterns halfway through… I think you’d probably have to switch to a different pattern or it would just continue finishing the current pattern, but if you switch to another pattern halfway through a pattern it should switch immediately (by which I mean: at the end of the given measure).

Using this technique could accomplish something similar you made a number of patterns that were all very short like one measure… you could use song mode to switch around all of the patterns at every measure… Not sure if that would actually help or not (for your use case) but it is a possibility I think.

Cheers,
Eric

QYedit and Eric,

thank you for the feedback. I don't understand why Yamaha left out the AB functionality in the QY100 it's simple to implement.?

I thought about what everyone said and now I know the pattern length is fixed for user phrases I will put 1,2 and 4 bar phrases in the different sections of a pattern.

In just a few days of experimenting with this it's working for me. In case this helps anyone else I found targeting specific notes totally locked down the timing. It's wonderful to be able to practice perfectly with this machine.
When you play along to the phrase any errors are obvious and reducing the tempo and then gradually increasing it until the target is achieved will ensure perfect performance once the brain and muscles have learned.?
