• Other notes besides those
of the C major seventh
scale can be recorded;
however, this may result in
the recorded phrase not
matching the chord when
being played back.
• The rhythm part of the
currently selected style is
used as a rhythmic guide
(in place of a metronome),
playing back during
recording. However, it is
not recorded to the Multi
Pad.
