Eee Eterni - Yamaha PortaSound PSS-795 Owner's Manual

<< Reference #5 >>
The Song Memory of PSS-795 is designed so that you can
start Recording with any Track you choose to. So, for
those of you who are wondering which Track is better to
start with, and how you should proceed to Record, we have
provided the following Hints:
>> Standard Examples of Multi-Track
Recording:
Step 1: First, you Record the Rhythm Style and Chord
Progression using Auto Accompaniment, onto the AUTO
ACCOMP. Track. Of course, remember to make the most
of the Intro and Ending available.
Step 2: Next, you Record your original Fill-Ins or "live"
Rhythm variations Manually to the PAD Track, to contrast
and enrich the Rhythm Pattern, while listening to Playback
he AUTO ACCOMP. Track which was Recorded
І К orehand in Step 1.
Step 3: With the same idea in Step 2, you can also Record
another different type of Bass sound from the one pre-
assigned to the Auto Accompaniment. For example,
overdubbing a Slap Bass' lick to the regular Synth Bass
sound, on one of the MELODY Tracks.
Step 4: Then, if your Background sounds seem lacking,
you can fill them in with obbligato, ostinato, comping, etc.
on the remaining MELODY Tracks.
Step 5: And finally, you can Record a dynamic Keyboard
Solo to the VECTOR SYNTH Track using the Vector Synth
function. While Recording it can be effective to use the
Pitch Bend effect here.
Step 6: At this point, we can fix all the little mistakes made
using the Punch In/Out method. Also, please keep in mind
as you go along, the maximum amount of notes that can be
fpunded at any one time during Playback is 28. So
:*.nember not to overplay. This will also bring you in good
arrangement.

Next, we will introduce examples for practical applications
of the Song Memory function.
>> Using Song Memory for Minus One
Settings:
You can use Song Memory as Backing for Vocals, or
Instrumental Solos, for Practice or Live Performances.
»» Using Song Memory for Compostion or
Arranging:
You can log your Melodic and Harmonic ideas into the
Song Memory. Then, when you are seriously thinking
about these ideas more in depth, you can record several
versions to many different Tracks, and then save the best
ones. This can apply to solos as well. You can Record
Multiple different versions of a Solo, and then store the best
ones for future use or reference.
Note: You can also do the Recording or Playback from an
extrernal MIDI keyboard. See page 40 for detailed
information about this.
