What is
the QY100 Data Filer?
The QY100 Data Filer is a file manager that allows you take
data created by the QY100 and save it in your computer. Before you
can use the QY100 Data Filer, you must install the software, and
connect the QY100 to your computer (refer to the “QY100 Owner’s
Manual”).
The QY100 Data Filer can perform the following three functions
depending upon how you use it:
1. Data created by the QY100 can be saved to your computer
as QY bulk data. Also, QY bulk data saved in your computer
can be transmitted to the QY100.
2. SMF song data files such as XG or GM song data can be
transmitted from the computer to your QY100 to be played
back on the QY100. Also, data created by the QY100 can be
saved to your computer as an SMF song.
3. Song/Style data in the QY100 can be cleared via the com-
puter.
■ NOTE
•The QY100 Data Filer is an application designed specifically for the QY100. It
cannot be used with any other devices.
•SMF song data files that exceed the QY100 Data Filer’s memory capacity
(approximately 32,000 notes) are not compatible with the QY100.

MIDI Manager
XDouble-click on the Apple MIDI Driver icon. Then select
which port you want to use and set the Interface Type. (In
most cases 1MHz will be appropriate.)
MIDI Manager (For Macintosh Users)
MIDI Manager is an Apple system extension file which
handles MIDI information. With it, you can determine the serial port
for the exchange of music data in real-time with various MIDI
software. PatchBay lets you determine how MIDI Manager is
configured for the Apple MIDI driver and the MIDI software.
Normally the Apple MIDI driver will automatically load as part
of the QY100 Data Filer start up process, which means you won’t
need to perform any specific operation unless you plan to change
the serial port connection. To change the serial port connection,
please refer to the steps as outlined below.
●Setting the Serial Port
ZFrom the Apple pull-down menu, select “PatchBay”.
A window will appear indicating which interfaces are
connected in relation to the MIDI Manager.

17
;;

MIDI Manager
CAfter starting up QY100 Data Filer, you can open the
PatchBay window to confirm how QY100 Data Filer is
configured with the Apple MIDI Driver.
You can also configure another sequencer program with
QY100 Data Filer or determine various other settings.
* When you want to use the QY100 Data Filer, open the “Chooser”in
the Apple menu and turn off Apple Talk.
* To access information about PatchBay, from the Apple menu, select
“About PatchBay”.
* To run QY100 Data Filer on a Macintosh IIfx or certain Quadra models
requires that the “Serial Switch”be in the Control Panels folder, since
the serial port configuration for these computers is different from other
Macintosh models.

18
MIDI Manager
When you copy the entire contents of the “MIDI Manager 2.0.2”
folder in the supplied CD-ROM to the Macintosh System folder (as
described on page 6), the “Serial Switch”will be installed automati-
cally into the Control Panels folder.
* If you are using a Performa series computer with an internal
modem installed, select the printer port in step X of the above
procedure. In this particular computer, even if the Modem port is
selected in the window, the QY100 Data Filer cannot transfer data
via the Modem port.
■ NOTE
•“Cache Switch”is necessary for configuring the systems of some
Quadra models. You will find “Cache Switch”in the System disk
called “Tidbits”. Copy it into the System Folder. After copying it into
the System Folder, pull down the Apple menu and select “Control
Panels”. Set the serial port of the “IIfx Serial Switch”to “Compat-
ible”. If you are using a Quadra with the different serial port
configuration, set the “Cache Switch”to “More Compatible”.
When using such a Quadra and the screen message “Cannot use
with this Macintosh”appears, the above settings will not be
required.
