The Custom Accompaniment Programmer
To Cancel A Single Percussion Instrument
Although you can cancel all instruments in the
RHYTHM track by pressing the [RHYTHM] track
button while holding the [DELETE] button, it is also
possible to cancel a single instrument to eradicate a
mistake or simply eliminate an unwanted instrument.
While holding the CANCEL key (the highest key on
the PSR-6000 keyboard), press the percussion key
corresponding to the instrument you want to cancel.
The selected instrument should now be cleared from
the pattern.
NOTES
• The appropriate voice must be selected in order to cancel
individual instruments — if you can't cancel an instrument
even after following the above procedure, select another
drum voice (DRUM KIT or POP DRUM KIT) and try again.
To Add Accents
To accent specific beats after recording the rhythm,
press the accent key (the second to highest key on the
keyboard, with the ">" symbol) at the timing of beats
you want to accent.
B
Program the Bass and Chord Tracks
After the RHYTHM track has been programmed
(or it can be left as it is if no changes are required), you
can select a bass or chord track for programming by
pressing the [BASS] or a [CHORD] track button while
holding the [RECORD] button (tracks containing pre-
set data cannot be selected for recording). You can also
select the voice you want to record with using the
normal voice selection procedure. The RHYTHM track
will automatically switch to the PLAY mode when a
new REC track is specified. Please remember that only
one track can be programmed at a time. You can press
the [SYNCHRO START] button to engage the synchro
start ready mode if you want to start recording from the
first beat of the first measure.
Play notes or chords to be added to the existing data,
or delete all data on the track (press the track button
while holding the [DELETE] button) and start from
scratch. The bass and chord tracks must be programmed
in the key of C major!
