QY100: Using Chord Templates in Songs?


Rocky
 
Edited

I just started playing around with Chord Templates on my QY100, and found the presets to be really useful for getting quick ideas.

Is it possible to use more than one chord template in a recorded song?
For instance, using one progression in the Main-A part and a different one in the Main-B?

I know this can be done easily when playing back, but is it also possible to record the template changes for those sections?

Thanks, Rocky

You can just use the progression track to enter in the progressions you want in any order you want when you are in users/custom mode. ?You wouldn’t use the presets this the way you would just put the actual chord changes in… But you could copy those from the presets if you wanted.

Yes, thanks - I use the "Cd" track to enter my own progressions when recording songs.
However it just seems convenient to audition the preset templates for progressions I'd not normally create myself..
Some of those presets are listed in pairs and look tailor made for using as either verse or chorus.. The templates are well documented, and as you said, I can always just program the chords manually..?

As it is, Yamaha went to a lot of trouble to create the chord template functionality, to then hobble it somewhat by restricting it to one template per song.
It is still a lot of fun to set up the Part structure and then switch the templates around in Play mode.. I'll probably do this at some point and if I need to, record the results on another sequencer..

PS. what is "users/custom mode" you mentioned - is that referring to Song mode / record??

?User/custom is what you set the chord progression to so it uses the CD track, that’s all.
