REC VIEW (F6)
Recalls the «Record View» page where it is pos-
sible to control the record/play parameters.
ERASE... (F7)
Cancellation of a track, riff, variation or Style.
Track - Cancels the selected track.
Riff - Cancels the selected riff.
Variation - Cancels the selected variation.
Style - Cancels the entire Style.
METRONOME (F8)
Activates/deactivates the metronome.
TIME SIGNATURE
Valid for the entire Style. This parameter can be
modified only before starting a recording. If the
Style contains recorded events, this parameter
cannot be modified.
MEASURES
Determines the length of a riff expressed in meas-
ures (max 16).
TEMPO
The playing speed (metronomic Tempo). Valid for
the entire Style.
KEY NOTE
Reference key. Indicates the key in which the
original riff is recorded. When you play the indi-
cated chord, the riff will play back in exactly the
same manner as recorded. If other chords are
played, the riff will be transposed accordingly.
SCALE CONVERSION
If you program a Style accompaniment based on
the Major scale, the SK760/880 arranger will au-
tomatically convert a minor or 7th chord accord-
ingly. This allows you to limit your User Style
recording times by, for example, recording only
the Major riff of Variation 1, in order that when
you play with the recorded style, a minor or 7th
chord will be automatically adjusted for the
change. However, in harmonic terms, this type
of 'over-simplification' creates errors when using
the more complex chord structures. To overcome
this problem, the SK760/880 Scale Converter pro-
vides a selection of chord inversion systems,
based on algorithms in order to render the con-
version more musical.
You can program the Major chord only and set
the scale converter for the other two chords (mi-
nor and/or 7th). If, on a future occasion, you wish
to program also the respective riffs, the relative
Scale conversion will be ignored. The parameter
consists of two variable parts, corresponding to
the two complementary chords with respect to the
one being recorded.
If the "Off" setting is selected, the arranger car-
ries out the simplified conversion referred to. The
tables at the end of this chapter show how the
Scale Converter operates, both in the off status,
as well as for the Minor and 7th chords. Several
different solutions for each chord are provided
for.
The tables on pages 7 and 8 refer to chord and
bass patterns played in the key of C and shows
which notes are converted. The changes are ex-
pressed in semitones, therefore, if the note C
shows a conversion of –2, the note is converted
2 semitones down (Bb). Notes not converted are
shown blank.
