QY-700 external midi on multiple channels


 

Is there a way to use the QY-700 as an external multitimbral instrument with midi coming from a DAW. I have setup the pattern mode with 16 different sounds, some go to the midi out. Is there a way to send multiple midi sequences on different midi channels at the same time. Now it only receives on the track which is selected

Did you mean the QY700 or the QY70?

This is a QY70 and QY100 group, so I just wanted to verify.

I decided to answer your question on all three QY devices just so you have an answer as soon as possible:

ON QY70 and QY100: ?
1) Press Menu->F4 (Utility)
2) Press Menu->F2 (MIDI)
3) Move cursor to?‘ECHO BACK’?and turn it off (using +/- buttons)
4) Press Exit
THEN
1) Press Menu->F4 (Fingered Zone
2) Move cursor to MIDI Channels and change to ALL (using +/- buttons)?

ON QY700:
1) Press Utility->F2 (MIDI Tab)
2)?Move cursor to both of the TWO ‘‘ECHO BACK’ fields and turn them off?(using +/- buttons).
THEN
1) Press SONG->F3 (Out Ch) and setup each of your QY tracks to go to go to the desired track on ?MIDI A or MIDI B ?(you can also gave then]m go to the internal Tone Generator (TG) not as you desire. ?BTW, you can route multiple QY700 tracks to the same channel if you want.


NOTE: On all devices, When changing the ECHO BACK field, ?if turning them OFF does not solve the issue then change them to THRU… It’s been a while so I can’t remember which of the two settings will solve the issue… But I know when ‘ECHO BACK’ is set to RecMonitor it always only receives on the selected track, so it’s definitely not that one, lol.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks, but in all honesty, I have to admit I did have to power up both devices to figure out the exact button order. ??Lol! ??

Thank you Eric!| Since is a question that apperas often, and because you kindly covered all the "recent" QYs, I took the liberty to repost your instructions on the MeWe QY700 group.

Thanks a bunch again!

Thanks for helping me out Eric! When I set the Echo Back to Thru, the external synths receive midi on their channel but not the internal sounds. All midi channels play the piano preset except 10 which are drums. I use pattern mode and none of tracks has the piano preset on. All 'Voice Select' are set to Pattern, not Phrase so I can select a sound in Pattern mode. I have several tracks using the internal sounds and other sending midi to synths. How can I set the midi input channel in Pattern mode for each track so I send midi to qy-700 internal sounds on multiple channels? I use pattern mode only, where do I adjust something in 'OutCh.'? in 'Patt.TR' I've set the midi ouputs for the external Synths. I'd like each track in pattern mode to receive midi on a different channel. It looks like the midi in from the QY is sent to the songs tracks, not the pattern tracks.

I don’t have the QY 700 in front of me right now but there are two possibilities I think:
?
1) The sending device could specify a channel above 48. ?On the QY70/100 (with it’s 16 song channels and 8 pattern channels) data would need to be sent on channels 17 thru 24 but alot of MIDI equipment can’t send data over those channels, which is why the QY70 has the utility option of setting channels 1 to 8 or 9 to 16 as pattern channels. ?The QY700 might have a similar feature. ?If it does then it would be located in the utility menu section.

2) If I recall correctly, again on the QY70/100, the routing of the channels to the tracks switches depending on what mode the QY is in. ?So if you go into pattern mode, the QY won’t reroute the data to the song’s tracks. ?Of course this is not to helpful if you want to use both song and pattern tracks.

Again, the above us from memory (and from the QY70/100, so I could be remembering incorrectly. ?

Let me/us know if either works for you.

EDIT/UPDATE: ?Sorry, I might be confusing tracks and channels here, it’s been a while since I was knee-deep in sysex protocols. ;-) ? However, the above ideas could still work, just the names (channels vs. tracks) have simply been changed to protect the innocent, lol!

Hi Eric,

This didn't work for me. Is is possible to check with the QY 700 in front of you? I am using only the pattern mode, also couldn't find the utility option to set channels as pattern channels either. Let me know if you can check this for me. Thanks in advance!

in the QY700 channel assignment for patterns and tracks is in the same place.
