Chord Sequence Page 2 & 3 Functions
The CHORD SEQUENCE page-2 and page-3 displays contain a number of functions that can make the
chord-entering process more efficient and versatile.

Song Recording
• The types of chords that can be entered are
the same as those listed for the ABC fin-
gered mode (see page 36). In addition "- - -"
(i.e. no chord) can be entered via the TYPE
LCD button.
On-bass chords can be entered via the
keyboard.
• The number of each measure is shown to
the left of the graphic measure symbols on
the display.
• See "Chord Sequence Page-2 Functions",
below, for other useful editing features.
• If no chords are entered (i.e. chord type is
set to "- - -"), the result will be a rhythm-only
sequence.
• A "Break" can be produced by both setting
the chord type to "- - -" and rhythm sound to
"OFF" (see "Rhythm OFF/ON", below).
• The same chord, as set previously (i.e. the
same chord shown in the box), cannot be
entered even if the SET LCD button is
pressed.
• Only data other than chord data can be
entered by first moving the cursor and
making the required changes without enter-
ing any chord (the ROOT and TYPE LCD
sections should be blank), and pressing the
SET LCD button.
• If a different style with another time signa-
ture is selected after chords have been
entered, the timing of the chords will be
changed accordingly.
• The chord sequence data now resides in
tracks 9 through 16, and can be played
back in the normal way. Add other tracks as
required by using the standard track selec-
tion and recording procedure. You can also
record over individual tracks of the se-
quence and replace them with original
material if you like by using the standard
track selection and record procedure.
• The song recorded via the Chord Sequence
function can be modified later by re-enter-
ing the Chord Sequence mode and making
the required changes. But please note that
the track data recorded over by using the
standard recording procedure will be re-
turned back to the preset style data.
