Record the selected part.
You can now add new notes to the selected part by playing
the keyboard at the appropriate timing. The default chord for
data entry is C major 7. A different chord can be specified as
required via the PARA. EDIT display page, described on page
71. If both the RHY1 and RHY2 parts are deleted the metro-
nome will sound to provide a timing guide (the metronome
sound is not recorded). A single drum instrument can be cleared
from the RHY1 or RHY2 part which is currently set to the REC
mode by pressing the key corresponding to the instrument to be
cleared while holding the RHY. CLEAR LCD button.
MAIN and FILL Section Rules
Observe the following rules when recording the MAIN and
FILL sections:
• Use only the CM7 (or chord specified by the PARA. EDIT page
parameters) scale notes when recording the BASS and PHRASE parts.
• Use only the chord notes when recording the CHORD and PAD tracks.
• Refer to the " Source Chord Type List" on page 65 for the scale and
chord notes for each source chord type.
• Any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO
and ENDING sections.
