using the Kbd/Pad and Ch/Acc parameters. (Kbd/Pad stays
for Keyboard and Pads; Ch/Acc stays for Chord and
Accompaniment, i.e. the Style tracks). To record all you
play on the keyboard, plus the automatic accompaniment,
leave their status to Rec (see "Track status icons" on
page 177).
Warning: Tracks set to REC are automatically overwritten
when starting recording. Set a track to the PLAY or MUTE
status, when you don't want to delete it. For example, if you
are recording a keyboard part on an existing Style track, set
the Ch/Acc parameter to PLAY, and the Kbd/Pad track to
REC.

Record mode: Step Backing Sequence page
The Step Backing Sequence mode allows you to enter single
chords, to create or edit the Style (Chord/Acc) part of a Song.
This mode lets you enter chords even if you are not a keyboard
player, or fix any error made playing chords or selecting Style
controls, during a Backing Sequence (Quick Record) recording.
In this mode, you can only edit Songs created using the Backing
Sequence (Quick Record) recording mode. When saving a Song
created using the Backing Sequence (Quick Record) recording
mode, all Chord/Acc data is preserved, and can be loaded later,
to be edited again by using the Step Backing Sequence mode.
