Recording will begin as soon as you press the ACCOMPANIMENT CON-
FADE IN/OUT
TROL section [START/STOP] button or play a chord or note on the keyboard.
The preset accompaniment style data in the track being recorded will be en-
tirely erased (except the data you have entered). The accompaniment will play
repeatedly, and you can add new material to the selected track by playing on
the keyboard.
During recording, you can clear a track if you want to record new material
from scratch: press the TRACK button corresponding to the track you want to
clear while holding the [CLEAR] button. Individual notes, including
Keyboard Percussion instruments, can be cleared by pressing the
CLEAR
corresponding key while holding the [CLEAR] button.
NOTES
Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5, selecting and recording the various tracks as
required until your custom accompaniment is complete. You can also switch
sections while recording, so you can record an entire custom accompani-
ment without having to stop recording.
NOTES
Stop recording by pressing the TRACK button being recorded or the
ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL section [START/STOP] button. The
[REC] indicator will go out, and the recorded accompaniment data will
automatically be stored in the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT (style
number "00") of the currently selected PAGE MEMORY.
Pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button while recording stops re-
cording and returns to step 3 above (record ready mode).
NOTES
To use a custom accompaniment, simply select the PAGE MEMORY in
STYLE
SELECT
which it is stored, select style number "00", and use the Auto Accompani-
ment feature in the normal way (page 23).
AUTO
ACCOMP
• Be sure to record your CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT based on a CM7
chord. The parts will be automatically transposed to match the chord
played when the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT is played back.
• When you clear recorded data while recording, the PSR-510 will not ask
you "Are you sure?".
• Custom accompaniments can also be recorded using the Step Record
mode — see page 48.
• With some styles there may be a slight delay between the end of the
section and beginning of the next cycle when recording.
• If you change the sections while recording and the current track con-
tains no preset data, "---" will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY to indi-
cate that recording is not possible.
• "---" will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY while the PSR-510 is
processing recorded data.
