Style Recording

The PSR-530 lets you record up to three original "user styles" which can be used for auto-
accompaniment in the same way as the preset styles. The user styles are recorded as style
numbers 101, 102, and 103, and each style can be recorded with the full complement of 8
tracks (RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, PHRASE
2) and 5 sections (INTRO, MAIN A, MAIN B, ENDING, FILL).
• Material recorded on the STYLE tracks will be retained even after turning the power
off. See page 98 for the details.
• The recorded data will be lost if the power is turned off, the AC adaptor is unplugged,
or the batteries fail during recording.
• The REGISTRATION MEMORY cannot be recalled during style recording.
• The Shortcut functions are not available when one of the Record modes is engaged.
The STYLE tracks record the following operations and data:
• Note on/off.
• Velocity.
• Voice number (drum kit number)*
