      Love the XG format. Used to run a website called XG Enlightenment Central back when I just had an sw60xg. Then got 2 sw1000xgs (and a korg oasis pci), but got out of it for a decade - now super interested again, bought an mu1000 so I could use my MacPro & FL Studio along with XG feeding into the mix. mu1000 blows my mind but want to really get away from that classic “general midi tone generator” sound by experimenting with off board effects.

    Hi, Jay!
    I've bought QY100 recently, because your videos inspired me... and I freaking love this little machine.
    But I have one small issue with it: the changes I make in variation effects for the song, DO NOT SAVE after turning off the unit.
    For example, I make a dotted eighth note "CROSSDELAY" effect.
    But after I turn the unit off and on again, the variation effects are reverting to the default delay setting. However, the other two system effects (reverb and chorus) are remaining the same as I set.

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is an indeed weird behavior. Are you sure there is no additional sysex command within the song that selects the variation effect?

      Is there some info about how to get into SysEx in manual? Because the first thing I did after starting QY100 for the first time - I formatted the card via CARD menu, there was like 0.01 MB free. And after formatting the card I started to make a little test song.
      Everything works great, but this variation effects bug is a bit distracting.

Where and how do i set this up so that i can use a midi controller to modify the sound?

    @bobcatt2294 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This question would be for the many who are in a stage of confusion of which hardware workstation to purchase. I have been for over 2 weeks looking for a music workstation that is complete with: sequencer, multi-track recorder and great sounds with editor. My budget is $1500.00 USD. I like the Roland keyboard action along with the PX-560 Casio.
    I think a video from you addressing this (or you may have already) would be of help. The problem is having everything integrated but there lacks other things which makes it a deal breaker for those wanting a DAW-less environment or just too expensive. The option would be to think "components," like you have done. To add to this dilemma, the shipping cost would be prohibitive to return the item, so you would be stuck with a workstation that later you will discover is lacking in areas which are important to you. I am reading about these stories as I go reading reviews.

      My first thought: pretty much anything Motif-based. New, you're looking at Montage/MOXF. The veteran S90ES and other Motif ES-based synths are getting a bit older, but still sound amazing-arguably better than the newer boards. (JayB himself still uses the S90ES.)

    Alright, another question. I got a QY70 hooked up to my Electone EL90, and it works nice. But I want to take advantage of the Aftertouch functionality. Using monitoring software I've confirmed that it is putting out the aftertouch midi commands, the QY70 appears to be receiving them, it records "CAT" midi commands, but it's not effecting anything. Volume, pitch, nothing changes depending on how hard I'm pressing the keys.
    Any ideas?

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      By default aftertouch isn't assigned to anything in XG. However, using SysEx commands you can change that. I don't know the exact commands right now but you need to insert them to channel 1 using the edit function. Maybe I make another video about that one day.

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay, I was able to look now:
      Edit -> Insert -> XG Exc Multi -> and there you find parameters starting with CAT (channel aftertouch) followed by cryptic letters:
      CATP-C = Channel Aftertouch Pitch Control
      CATF-C = Channel Aftertouch Filter Control
      CATA-C = Channel Aftertouch Amp Control
      and then the same for the LFO depth (hence the "D" at the end). Set the affected channel and the offset, insert it into the song (by pressing Enter), exit all and play the song so the parameters get sent to the tone generator. After that there should be effect.
      However, these settings need to be resent each time there was an XG reset (=after every song switch and of course after every reboot) because these settings aren't stored in the QY's actual user interface.

    In terms of number and quality of sounds, which Yamaha MU module is closest to the QY-100?

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually there's none that's _really_ comparable. At least MU128 and later have a newer set of sounds over the precious models (which are closer to the QY70) however, the QY100 still has an even newer set of sounds which you hear especially in pianos and drums.

      @JayB Thanks - one more question - when playing the arranger track, is it's MIDI data present at the MIDI output? I'm looking to use it as a scratchpad, so I'm comparing it to devices like the MC-101and MC-707.

      @@jbognap Yes, pretty much everything can be sent to Midi out. However, pattern tracks are a bit tricky. Internally they're track 17-24 which can't be transmitted to MIDI, so you can optionally rojte them to channels 1-8 or 9-16, which again means that you can't really use these tracks in song mode.

    Hi JayB,
    Did you ever try this QS300 voice mode thing on the QY 70 ?
    I am quite curious about that and therefore I want to ask you as The Expert.
    Some places on the internet are talking about that as a hidden undocumented sound feature, that Yamaha accidentally did release with certain XG device families, particulary the QY 70, DB60XG, SW60XG and MU10. Activated by special SysEx commands.
    This very special sound mode is claimed to unleash and emulate the QS300 tone generation and its editing capabilities and also a certain Voice RAM, which was undocumented…
    Did you ever hear of it and possibly try that out?

      @@JayBmusic I wrote a fairly long post with a resource link but this obviously got deleted completely here. Just take a google search with something like “studio for all qs300 voices”. this will lead to a main resource site, where the mysterium is mentioned. Internet resources are quite rare for all that now. I am still researching on the topic and will probably post some videos if I can achieve significant results. p.s.: it will not work with the newer XG devices like the SW1000XG or a MU 100 or the QY100. So you don”t have to try there. ^^

      @@JayBmusic Update one: Little disappointment. We can take out the QS 70 from the list, as I just tried without success. The device does receive the bulk dump but switches the sound on the channel to ‚OFF‘ as a result.
      (This corresponds to the rumor,s that Yamaha immediately switched off the undocumented feature, accidentally left on the older families. So the QY 70 probanly is a newer device family.)
      Well, now I will try it with another sequencer and the super old XP computer with the SW60XG (ISA!!!) sound card. ^^ This card is definitively reported to work with this…
      If it does not work too, then there must be another problem with my setup and SysEx, maybe.

      @@JayBmusic Update two: YIKES! It is working on the Yamaha SW60XG! Some voices behave strange to velocity but it basically is working. Still have to do allot of research now. The few voices (there are over 900 on the site mentioned) sounded quite interesting and ‚new’ in relation to the fixed and well known set of XG voices. So it seems to open an eldorado for (retro) sound designers like you and me. 😜 I am so glad that I did not sell this super old retro ISA sound card and still have an old computer with those ancient ISA slots. It basically should work on a DB50XG board too. These are far more used and still available on the second hand market today. I will tra the QY70 again. Maybe there is a trick?!

    JayB, thank you for sharing. I downloaded your patch library for the Yamaha S80 but haven't yet installed it. I want to be sure not to delete any patches or performance patches since they are very good also. I could use some advise if you have a minute sometime. I'm interested in the QY unit after hearing you explain things in a couple videos.. I'm curious, is that a controller keyboard you are tweaking parameters with...are those knobs simply changing the parameters on the XG QY?

    • @Andybaby
      @Andybaby 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm guessing the knobs are for using controllers ('CC') to er.. control cutoff, res, attack, and release. Decay needs sysex for some reason.

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      XG is a fixed set of tones and specifications across various Yamaha devices. It has been updated a few times with more modern samples but the story is still the same. So a QY70 sounds exactly like a DB50XG or a MU80. However, there are differences in function and number of sounds, but the core is identical.

    • @JayBmusic
      @JayBmusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      XG MIDI files will sound more or less identical across all XG compatible tone generators, no matter if it's a arranger keyboard or a professional synthesizer. That's what makes XG programming so attractive. It's not particularly about the composition itself it's more about arranging, mixdown and choice of sounds.
      In non-XG units they of course will sound different and maybe even wrong if multiple drum channels are used or special effect sounds and of course dedicated effect settings.
