Start recording.
You can start recording with one of the following ways:
• Press the [START/STOP] button.
• Press the [SYNC START] button to enable synchronized standby (page 25),
then play a key on the keyboard.
The recording repeats indefinitely (until stopped) in a loop.
Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you record
while hearing previously recorded material.
Observe the following rules when recording the MAIN and FILL sections:
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE tracks
(i.e. C, D, E, G, A, and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD tracks (i.e. C,
E, G, and B).
Any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and
ENDING sections.
The basic chord for the accompaniment is called the source chord. The default
source chord is set as CM7, but you can change it to whatever chord is easy for
you to play. For details, see "Style File (Auto Accompaniment) Format" (page
111).
