After you are finished recording, press the START/
STOP button.
• This enters playback standby for the song you have
just recorded.
• To play back the song at this time, press the START/
STOP button.
NOTE
• Use the procedure under "Correcting Mistakes While
Step Recording" on page E-59 to correct input mistakes
you make during step recording.
• You can add on to a track that already contains recorded
data by selecting that track in step 3 of the above
procedure. Doing so automatically locates the step
recording start point at the first beat immediately
following the previously recorded data.
• Inputting "0" as the chord length in steps 5 and 6 of the
above procedure specifies a rest, but the rest is not
reflected in the accompaniment contents when the
accompaniment is played.

Track 1 is played back.

• You can also use number buttons 1 through 7, and button

FILL-IN 1, VARIATION/FILL-IN 2, and SYNCHRO/FILL-
IN NEXT buttons. For more information, see "Specifying
the Length of a Note" on page E-56. Specifying release
timing specifies that the applicable button remains
depressed for a particular amount of time. If you do not
specify the release timing, it is assumed that the button
is pressed and then immediately released.
