After the parameters setting, follow the instructions to record a new Style.

Press the START/STOP button to start recording

One empty beat is executed. The notes played during the empty beat

will not be saved to the Sequencer. The measure counter is active in the

display and the events occurring are shown. [00] measure indicates the

empty beat.

Start playing after the empty beat

The Sequencer captures each note played. When you get to the end of the

RIFF, recording starts again from the ﬁ rst measure and the notes played

until this time are played back. This feature is particularly useful when

recording the Drums track, since it is possible to add a new instrument

every time the loop restarts.

Press the START/STOP button to stop the recording

Once you have ﬁ nished to record the ﬁ rst track, press the START/STOP

button to stop the recording. The number correspondent to the Drums

track is still blinking.

Press twice the Function button referring to the recorded track

In the example, press the F1 (Drums) function button twice to disengage

the Drums sound from the keyboard.

Select the next track you wish to record by pressing the referring

Function button

In our example, the next track to be recorded is the Bass track,

corresponding to F2 function button. The Drums track will be indicated in

PLAY mode in the display, while the Bass track starts blinking.

Press the START/STOP to start recording the Bass track

Drums track will start playing while the Bass track is being recorded.

Start recording the Bass tracks notes

press the START/STOP button to stop recording

Press twice the Function button refering to the newly recorded track

Following the same procedure some other tracks can be added to the style. Once you have ﬁ nish to record the tracks of the

ﬁ rst Variation, you can either:

•Select a new RIFF (BasicMin, Basic7th, IntroMaj, IntroMin. Intro7th, Fill, etc)

Use the +/- buttons in the numeric keypad to select the RIFF

•Select a new Variation

In this case press one of the VAR. button (led ON)

Remember that simple Variations lead to the best results. A simple Variation can be enhanced and enriched by adding new

tracks. For example, you can record Major Variation 1 on three tracks only (Drums, Bass, Acc1) and with simple patterns.

Record Variation 2 setting Major and Minor in the same tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1), but adding small differences. Variation 4

can be recorded on 4 tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2) and further changes to its patterns. Variation 4 could feature Major,

Minor and 7th chords on all of the ﬁ ve tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3) and more complex Riffs.

NOTE: Each Variation may only contain a Fill pattern.

Once you have ﬁ nish to record, press ESCAPE to exit the Sequencer mode.
