Style Record procedure

There are two different methods for recording a Style: Realtime
and Step.
• Realtime Recording allows you to record Style patterns in
realtime.
• Step Recording allows you to create a new Style by entering
single notes or chords in each track. This is very useful
when transcribing an existing score, or needing a higher
grade of detail, and is particularly suitable to create drum
Sounds
and percussion tracks.

Preparing to record
1. If you like to edit an existing Style, select that Style.
2. Press the REC button to enter the Style Record mode. You
are prompted to select either the Current Style, or a New
Style.
Select "record/edit Current Style" if you want to edit the
current Style, or make a new Style starting from an existing
one. Select "Record New Style" if you want to start from
scratch with an empty Style.
3. After you select your preferred option, the main page of the
Style Record mode will appear.
4. Select the Element (Style Element) and Chord Var (Chord
Variation) parameters, to select the Chord Variation to be
recorded/edited.
Note: For more information on the Style Elements and Chord
Variations, and the Style structure in general, see "The Style
structure" on page 102.
5. Use the Rec Length (Recording Length) parameter to set
the length (in measures) of the pattern to record.
6. Use the Meter parameter to set the Style Element's meter.
Note: You can edit this parameter only if you selected the
"Record New Style" option when entering the Record mode,
or when editing an empty Chord Variation.
7. Select the Tempo parameter and set the tempo.
8. Press the Record 2 tab to see the Sounds area. Here you can
assign the right Sound to each Style track. You cannot select
Digital Drawbars Sounds. (For more details, see "Sounds
area" on page 108).
9. If needed, set the Octave Transpose for each track. Note:
The Octave Transpose will affect only the notes coming from
the keyboard, and not from the arranger.
10. At this point, if you want to do a Realtime Recording go on
reading "Realtime Record procedure" below. Otherwise, if
you prefer to do a Step Record, jump to "Step Record pro-
cedure" on page 109.
