QY70 and QY100 Group File Update
3
Greetings! Just a quick note of interest to Yamaha QY Owners... A lot of new files have been added to the QY70/QY100 开云体育 File Section including: 1) Most of the original files (patterns, songs. tips, tricks, software, documentation, etc) from the Original QY70/QY100 Yahoo User Group 2) The entire message archive (in three PDF volumes) of the Original QY70/QY100 Yahoo User Group Sorry it took so long to get it all into the Files Section. (Please be aware that some of the items in the Files section are actually directories which contain additional items, so you may need to drill down to explore fully.). Cheers!, Eric -- “The longest journey starts with the first step." - Lao Tzu

Smart Media Card Reader... Mac
6
Have two generic ones - IndMem and i believe this PNY card reader. The IndMem literally feels like its going to break the card and it only goes in part of the way. Can't use that one without having a heart attack. Neither are performing well on my Mac. Nothing shows up as being mounted, doesn't seem to recognize the data. Any suggestions for something reliable? I've got the data backed up on my card, now i just need to back up the card!! ahhhhhh. Thanks!

Transposition from copied pattern
Occasionally ill copy a pattern from a preset to an unused track of a different kind, in order to make it editable. Similarly, occasionally, i find that transposition has no effect on the new user pattern. It will render transposition in the edit view (i.e. I can see that it has transposed) but playback of that track within the user style is unaffected. Any experience with this or knowledge as to what might be happening? This is on the QY100. Cheers!

Chord Track not reflecting chord progression in Song - QY100
5
Kind of a weird one - The chord track (Cd) does not seem to be controlling the chord progression in a song. There are only a few chords showing in the track, and yet the song indicates and follows many different changes. Neither is the chord template set to any of the system templates (its set to 'usr') Apart from something wrong with the data / loading of the song, trying to think if there is any other place that could be defining what's happening with the chord progression... Interestingly, if I delete the Cd track it clears the progression. So there's definitely some linking going on between the Cd track and the progression. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks!

Replacement Power Supply for QY100

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent long lasting replacement power supply for QY100. I bought one not that long ago on Ebay from Effects pedal pwoer Supplies and it's already failing intermittently - cheap cabling I expect. Any suggestions? - thanks Mark

Welcome to the new home of the Yamaha QY70 / QY100 user group!
11
Greetings QY users!, With the closing of the yahoo QY 70 user group in December, this will be the new home for all things QY70/QY100. Just some FYI’s to keep in mind: * Eventually, all of the files of the section of the Yahoo group will be copied over to the file section of this user group. * We will also try to copy as many of the photos as possible, though we might cull them (to just the most useful) since they have to be moved manually. * At this point, it seems there may be no way to copy all of the old conversations/threads from the yahoo group, but we are still looking into it. In the meantime, here are some links to the various sections of Yahoo group that you can for reference (until December): Files: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/QY70/files Photos: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/QY70/photos/albums Attachments: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/QY70/attachments Conversations: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/QY70/conversations/messages *If possible, please add a link to this group in your Yahoo group signature (or include one in any new yahoo posts) so that other members will have every opportunity to find and join this new group before the December closing of the yahoo group. Thanks! * Cheers, Eric! -- The Yamaha QY70 / Yamaha QY100 User Group ( /g/YamahaQY70AndQY100 ) - A forum for the best band in a box synthesizer/sequencers ever created on the planet earth.

Getting QY100 Songs into an Rm1x
7
Hello QY group! A long time ago, I recorded some real-time 'jamming' on a Rm1x into a QY100. Basically, I had a style (in Pattern Mode) ready on the Rm1x, and connected the MIDI out from the Rm1x into the MIDI in on the QY100 ... And then I recorded the MIDI output of the Rm1x into the QY100 while using the real-time controls on the Rm1x ... So I was essentially using the QY100 like a Roland MC-50 or Alesis MMT-8 to simply record what was happening on the Rm1x. I recorded a handful of performances like this, until such point as I finished one of these 'songs' and noticed that the QY100 had stopped recording and was showing a message saying that it was full. And now I'm ready to (finally) revisit these performances and see what I actually have. I figure the most logical (and easiest) option will be to import these files into the Rm1x ... But I'm curious about how this would be done. I've been having a look online and at the QY100 manual, and it looks like I'd want to use the 'Save' function and save as a SMF to a memory card. Alternately, it appears I could use the 'Bulk Dump' function and import to my computer ... So first I'd be curious if anyone has advice on which of these options will be best in this case. And then after that, I'm not sure how I would get this data back into the Rm1x. Although I do have a USB 2.5" floppy drive that I can connect to an old MacBook Pro ... But before going further, I'm hoping someone on this list has done a similar thing and can provide some insight. Since I've only really used the QY for this purpose, any advice will be appreciated! Thanks,Jim

SmartMedia Card unreadable in QY100 after opening in Win10
6
Hello all, I just got a QY100 that came with a 128Mb SM Card. I purchased a Dynex card reader ( https://www.amazon.ca/Dynex-All-In-One-Card-Reader-DX-CR121/dp/B000V778UM ) and tested it initially on my Linux Mint machine. It detected the reader, but not the card, so I tried it on Windows 10, and it mounted it properly. I was able to back up the files that were on the disk. However, if I try to access the card from the QY100, I get a "Format? Yes/No" screen. Neither option works and I get stuck in a loop of "Formatting...Mounting...Format? Y/N" . Even choosing "Yes" doesn't work, because the files are all there when I mount the card back. Interestingly enough, after the first Win10 mount, I am able to mount it on Linux, so it's like mounting it on Win10 created something to make it readable on computer, but unreadable on the QY100. the card was readable on the QY100 before I attempted to see what was on it. I have tried formatting it in Linux (Various FAT16 formats) and deleting the partition to try and format it directly in the QY100, but that didn't work. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks Updated solution here: /g/YamahaQY70AndQY100/message/77

Don’t forget to give yourself a Display Names
5
Just an FYI: Don’t forget to give yourself a Display Name/Handle. Please keep in mind that (I think) if your display name is not setup, then your posts will probably use your email address instead. This is not an issue per se, but I know that some people may prefer that their email address not be visible since this forum is viewable by the public (though not editable). Reason for this is to allow non-members to utilize this forum a resource without the need to immediately sign up. Cheers, E.

separate tracks recording (Was: Output Sound Quality)
3
Strange thing: never attempted that with the 100, but il's my standard workflow with the bigger brother (QY700). I do tracking in Reaper, simply setting bpm and tempo in the DAW same as on the sequencer, and sync just using plain MIDI Clock/SPP (DAW as master). Then, solo a lrack and record, rinse and repeat for all tracks. All perfectly lined up. You've tempted me to give a try tracking like this the QY100: I'll report back when done!

XGWorks to edit songs on a computer?
Curious if anyone writes on the QY then edits on a computer then back to the QY. And wondering if XGworks is some solution to that, or if there is something else that would be better. Ideally something that can allow for editing of XG parameters not common to general midi. Thanks!

Output Sound Quality
5
So, Ive been playing with moving some of my QY tracks and songs (patterns and tracks) in my DAW. Both my Audacity and Abelton, attempts have left the sound not coming through very clearly. Have narrowed it down to either my Scarlett 2i2 interface being terrible (always a possibility) or that I'm not using the right cables to output. Has anyone tried outputting the QY for recording purposes? Any tips on carrying the sound quality from the headphone jack out to a computer. Sounds as good as it always has on headphones but not able to get the same quality signal to my computer.... odd. Thanks in advance!!

pattern style editor for mac?
2
This has probably been asked before (possibly by me.....): Current workflow involves writing some midi clips and then finding a very convoluted method of recording them to User Styles on the QY, which I then use to mess around with Chord templates, re-instrumentalizing etc. When it works, it works. When it doesn't my mind starts to wonder if there isn't a simpler way of composing styles and patterns and passing them as .Q1P files via the card. Any thoughts for a mac user? Alternatively I could break down and try and recreate an old windows rig but that also seems like the 'long way around' (still i would be interested if anyone is using ANY software to compose styles and patterns for the QY's). Thanks in advance.

Help........Please.......???

Hello All, just unable to update my YamahaQY100 to the 1.37 Latest ROM and have tried everything I can find.......even the guide details in the manual.....using MidiOx and a host of other ideas. I load the Data into my Windows 10, after connecting the QY100 to my laptop with a new UX16 Yamaha Midi -usb connector......follow all the download details (a red LED shows on the Cable)......but the QY100 just shows 'Waiting........', whatever I do to send the Data into the QY100. Iv'e also tried at least 3 midi player apps.......but no shifting the data in the QY100. Can Anyone help me......please.....I think I'm going a little mad. Thanks. Outlook for Android

Low back-up battery display
6
Greeting & salutations all: I am glad to see there is a community for these! The bad news would be that I got out my QY100 for the first time since I won it in an EBay auction towards the beginning of last year: When I first turn it on, I get the “low back up battery” message. I have changed the AA batteries a few times, but the message persists. Also, I noticed that the data I enter in does not save when I turn it off. So I have two questions: (1) does anyone know the fix for this problem? and (2) I currently do not have a card for my QY-will I still be able to save data when my card arrives? (Found an 8mb on EBay for a good price: probably should have asked these questions before I ordered the card!). I am thankful for any help or advice. SVG
