ence, whether you are recording a Chord Variation contained in an Intro 1
or Ending 1 Style Element, or a Chord Variation contained in any other Style
Element (or a Pad):
▪
On Intro 1 and Ending 1, this chord will be used as the reference key for the
chord progression.
▪
On all the other Style Elements (or Pad), this chord will be used only for
listening during recording. During playback, the chord will follow chord rec-
ognition.
With Intro 1 and Ending 1 (both Chord Variation 1 and 2) you may also want to
enter a chord progression, to be played on the lowest MIDI octave
to
B-1). Chord types are inserted by using velocity values, as shown in the
following table:
