Creating a Complete Song

Recording the Sequencer Tracks

After recording the accompaniment tracks in the SONG mode using either the preset pat-
terns (chapter 5, page 52) or original patterns you have created in the PATTERN mode
(chapter 6, page 78), record melody lines, harmony parts, counter-melodies, or any other
parts required to complete your composition on the SONG mode sequencer tracks (TR1,
TR2, TR3, and TR4). The SONG mode provides realtime and step recording modes for the
sequencer tracks as well as the accompaniment tracks.

Before actually beginning to record
you should switch to the VOICE mode
and assign the desired voices to the
SONG mode sequencer tracks (page 38).
Of course, you can make these assign-
ments later but it's better to record with
the voices you actually intend to use in
the song.
