Jim,

The QY will record/playback to multiple tracks simultaneously if you have it set up properly¡ Or more specifically if you had it set up properly when you used it as a MIDI recorder.
?
The settings in particular that you need to look at are via the following button sequences:
1) Set MIDI Channel to ALL
(From song view)
Menu->F4 (Utility)
Menu-F4 (Fingered Zone)
Then Right Arrow to
MIDI Channel (should be set to ALL by hitting Minus(-) button several times as needed...Range is ALL, 1,2,3....16)
?
2) Set Echo Back to OFF:
(From Song view)
Menu->F4 (Utility)
Menu-F2 (MIDI)
Arrow to Echo Back and set to OFF
?
3) You may also need to change some other settings in the MIDI screen in step two depending on your setup. ?
? ? ?For example, if you recorded to a pattern, you would need to set Pattern out channel to 1-8 or 9-16 (but only if the RM1X cannot handle the pattern¡¯s normal record/playback channels (which are 17 to 24)).
?
4) ALWAYS Double-Check the hardware switch on the QY and make sure it is set to MIDI. ?(It can get switched by accident so it is always a good idea to check it).
?
Lastly, since the RM1X was also made by Yamaha, you may need to similarly setup the above on that unit (particularly Midi-channel/OMNI mode). Of course, the steps would very likely be different on the RM1X. ?The most important is that the REC-Monitor field NOT be set to YES/TRUE, since doing that will force all incoming MIDI data to the currently selected track on the RM1X.
?
It should be noted that if the QY70 was not setup similarly to the above during the recording phase (to the QY70) then the data might all be located in one track, if that is the case then I am not sure how to split it back up into multiple tracks/channels (beyond doing it manually). ??
?
Hope this helps.
