QY70 Not enough songs


 

My rig is centred on the QY70, with 90% of sounds coming from there. It’s mainly used as a tone generator but some songs are furnished with actual sequences. Some songs require that I run some “no note” sequences, so that some parameters are in place e.g switching on/setting the timing of portamento. These sequences run automatically when I use a programme change command to select the right song.

?

I have 4 or 5 various controllers triggering sounds live.

?

Each song in our set requires a different set of? sounds, so it makes sense to select a new song in the sequencer for each song.

?

Well the inevitable happened and we now have more songs in the set than the QY70 can hold.

?

I’m not sure of the best way to address this.

?

Buy a second qy70.

Data filer loading the next set in the interval. Fine if this works but could be a pain in rehearsal jumping from set to set and back again.

Purchase a whole new keyboard/sequencer that holds 100 songs – have to learn a new synth architecture.

?

?

Anyone got any suggestions?


 

"buy a 2nd QY70"


 

If you don’t need all the tracks perhaps putting each song setup in a single track on the same song and then triggering based on mute/solo of those tracks (for “no note” songs).

If you did go the second device route, I would choose the QY100 over the QY70 since you then have a SmartMedia slot to load/save as many songs as you want without requiring a computer and filer…. with even a 32MB card you probably have well over 100 full songs (probably many many more than that… and supports up to 128mb smart media cards).

The QY100 works almost identically to the QY70 and but technically has slightly newer sounds (just little tweaks) plus a mic/amp simulator and larger keys, but in a slightly larger package.

I use 2 x?qy100 to get around the not enough memory issue this works well live with midi splitter to use either clock for syncing other devices
