kaltar All Messages By This Member #427 开云体育 Nice reference list! funny, it reminds you of bands that I never listened to. I think one style reminded me the Cranberries. I only heard the styles the same day I took it out of the box. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Oct 22, 2022, at 9:37 AM, Rocky via groups.io <Wsbsub@...> wrote: ?Hi, I uploaded a small PDF with notes I've taken about preset styles and what bands they remind me of..

@juhbuba All Messages By This Member #430 The list book tags any phrase in a phrase category ending in 'b' as "specific." So for example, 'Db', 'Bb', etc. I think that indicates it was based on an existing song. And anything ending in 'a' is more generic. Haven't verified this thoroughly, but that's my understanding, which would mean styles that use phrases in the "specific" categories would be the ones based on real songs. If I'm correct in my understanding, that would narrow down which styles to scan when trying to match them to songs on which they're based.
Rocky #435 Nice tip - I'll have another sniff through the styles but noticing which phrase categories are used.. Interesting.. My method so far has been listening to the styles MAIN-A MAIN-B and then absent-mindedly wondering who it reminds me of.. Some are clearer than others of course. ?(yes, I mean YOU "Liverpol")? Cheers, Rocky
squishy All Messages By This Member #437 There is definately a close resemblamce to Prodigy - Smack my Bitch up on one of the D&B phrases/patterns More the drums/groove than melody But Im sure replacing one track with the acidpatch synth line would make it very noticeable Thats a memory from 2002; ?this post just retrieved it :D
@juhbuba All Messages By This Member #439 There's also one based on Oasis, "Don't Look Back in Anger," I think. Looking at the mid-nineties Billboard hit charts might help here, lol.
Eric All Messages By This Member #440 开云体育 The only one that ALWAYS jump out at me is pattern #15, definitely Ace of Base… I think its the song “Beautiful Life”… ["The longest journey starts with the first step."?- Lao Tzu] toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Oct 23, 2022, at 5:13 PM, jonah@... wrote: ?

Eric All Messages By This Member #441 开云体育 Oops, I meant progression number 15, not necessarily pattern #15… ?lol!

Rocky #442 That's funny - when I looked at Pattern #15 and saw "70's 8-beat Folk Rock" . . . that was not the typical Ace Of Base I remember!!? So you are referring to the chord-template? 15?POPS-m07 Circle of 4ths progression? "Cm \| Fm \| Bb \| Eb \| Ab \| Dm7(b5) \| G \| G7 \|" Cheers, Rocky
Eric All Messages By This Member #443 开云体育 Yeah, that’s the one…?

Rocky #445 Fantastic!! I'll be checking these out for sure! Thank you Nikola.
@juhbuba All Messages By This Member #446 I usually don't play with the existing styles, but this thread motivated me to mess with them a bit. I'm impressed by just how much you can warp them into something completely different with the groove templates, drum voice replacement, and chord progressions.
Rocky #448 Hey - thanks for that - I'll look into the Play Effects -> Swing as the QY100 doesn't have Groove Templates. I'll assume for now that it is the same or similar effect. The Drum Table Remapping is something I haven't played with yet too... Do you know if those Play Effects can be applied to the Accompaniment Parts? The manual only mentions the sequencer tracks.
blakeAlbionCore All Messages By This Member #458 I now have a QY100 but I kinda miss the musical numbers on the QY70. Is it my imagination or are the fake songs tamer on the QY100? Everything was more authentic before the Internet took over.
Gary Snyder All Messages By This Member #462 Blake- I started with the QY70 myself before “graduating” to the QY100. I tend to agree with you that the 70’s patterns in general were better. That being said, the beauty of both units is that you can cut and paste any pattern or snippet, cross pollinate styles, and create something wholly other. It’s a never-ending smorgasbord… toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Oct 26, 2022, at 2:26 PM, blakeAlbionCore <ben.tremblay@...> wrote: ?I now have a QY100 but I kinda miss the musical numbers on the QY70.
