Audio Connections

Make sure that both the
QY300 and your sound
system are turned OFF
when making connections.

MIDI Connections

The simplest way to monitor the QY300 sound is via a pair of stereo head-
phones (1/4" stereo phone plug type) plugged into the PHONES jack. If want
to use an external stereo sound system, however, use the L/MONO and R
OUTPUT jacks. Since the QY300 output jacks are 1/4" phone types, you
might have to use adaptors to connect to a sound system with different input
connectors — e.g. RCA type pin jacks. You can connect the QY300 directly to
most mixing consoles and instrument amplifiers via standard phone-plug ca-
bles (use the L/MONO output when connecting to a mono sound system).
Although the QY300 can be played and programmed from the built-in micro-
keyboard, an external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector
provides the added advantages of standard keyboard size and key velocity
sensitivity (if your keyboard has a velocity-sensitive keyboard). Connect the
MIDI OUT connector of the keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the QY300,
and make sure that your keyboard is set to transmit on the appropriate MIDI
channel. The QY300 MIDI channel-to-track assignments are described on page
18.
