I would appreciate any help with the following questions:

1)Will the QY-100 record full SYSEX for Roland keyboards?
2)Can these Sysex messages be edited and/or
inserted on the QY?
3)Is the QY-100 practical to use in a live
situation to play back SMFs? I read that
it can only hold 20 songs in memory; so
how much time and button-pushing to load
more songs from the SmartMedia card?
4)I read something in the manual and am not
clear on this: Can you send it a
"SONG SELECT #" while in Pattern Play mode and be able to change and access it's internal patterns on the fly (next pattern
starts at the top of the measure)?
Thanks.

Hey, could anyone help with this?
How about George Kaye? This is a very
powerful little module. Too bad it only
has 1/8" outputs and no backlit display.

Ok,
I just tried the smart media card. I have 12 songs loaded into my QY100. I formated a card in the QY100 and my choices are to save/load 1 song or all. I did it both ways. It takes the same amount of time. it took about 5 seconds to load all my songs or just 1 song. As far as the sysex goes, I just don't know the answer. It says in the manual it will save and load XG exc System messages. I can also bulk dump and load data from and to any sequence program.

I'm pretty sure ANY midi sequencer will record syx/ex data. You just have to play it back into the same type of instrument. Roland only speaks Roland, for instance. It's a proprietary language, but the data is just 0s & 1s!

Thanks George and UD for your helpful info.
Five seconds for loading 20 songs using the SmartMedia card isn't that bad.

George, could you possibly sometime test
your QY-100 to answer question#4 regarding
Pattern selection via Midi?
Your help is much appreciated.
