Session Partner contains chord progression pattern data suitable for each rhythm, but you can also create your own original chord progression pattern.

1. Hold down the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button and press the SONG [REC] button.

The SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button and the SONG [REC] button will blink, and the FP-7F will enter recording-standby mode.

A screen like the following will appear.

To exit recording-standby mode, you can press the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button or the SONG [REC] button.

2. To start recording your chord progression, use the left-hand zone of the keyboard to specify chords.

The chord you press is shown in the display. The intro will not play at this time.

You can store up to sixteen chords.

3. Press the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button to stop recording your chord progression.

The recorded chord progression is recorded in "User Chord. " To select a recorded chord progression, press the [-] button when chord progression

pattern number 1 is displayed, and select "User Chord" (p. 67).

MEMO

• Each chord progression pattern can be up to sixteen measures long. When the FP-7F is shipped from the factory, it is set so that a chord progression

of up to eight measures can be recorded. Recording will stop automatically when you exceed the currently specified number of measures.

A maximum of sixteen chords can be stored.

If you want to change the number of measures for the chord progression to be recorded, refer to "Changing the Number of Measures for Recording

a Chord Progression" (p. 48).

• If desired, you can keep the chord progression pattern from changing even when you switch rhythms. Refer to "Fixing the Chord Progression Pattern

(Chord Prog. Fix)" (p. 68).

• Your original chord progression pattern will not play correctly if you play it using a time signature that's different from when you recorded it.

• Your original chord progression patterns can be saved in a Registration (p. 49).

* The chord progression you record will be lost when you turn off the power. If you want to keep it, save it in a Registration (p. 50).

Switching Chord Progression Patterns while You Perform

If you switch registrations while Session Partner is playing, the chord progression pattern will also change. By switching chord progression patterns,

you can easily perform with accompaniment for an entire song.

For example, store the chord progression pattern for melody "A" in registration 1-1, and store the chord progression pattern for melody "B" in

registration 1-2. Then, while Session Partner plays, switch the registration from 1-1 to 1-2 at the right moment. The chord progression used by Session

Partner will switch from the melody "A" pattern to the melody "B" pattern.
