Play or Style Record mode.
Chord
While in the Main and Style Tracks page, this area
shows the Original Key/Chord (see "Original Key/
Chord" on page 56) for the selected track.
Style name
This is the name of the Style in record/edit.
Measure counter
This counter shows the measure in record. The mea-
sure range is specified by the "RecLen" parameter (see
"RL (Recording Length)" on page 55).
Track in record/edit
Most editing in this edit mode are executed on a single
track. While in the main page, the currently selected
track is shown on the upper right area of the display.
The abbreviations are: DR (Drums), PC (Percussion),
BS (Bass), A1...A5 (Accompaniment 1...5).
To select the track to edit, press TRACK SELECT to
jump to the Style Tacks page (see "Style Tracks page"
on page 56) and use the VOLUME/VALUE buttons to
select it.
E (Style Element)
Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line,
and the F-1 button to select this parameter.
This parameter lets you select the Style Element to put
in edit. Each Style Element corresponds to one of the
buttons on the control panel carrying the same name.
Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in
small letters (e:v1), the Style Element is empty; when it is in
capitals (E:V1), it is already recorded
V1...V4 Variation 1 to Variation 4
I1...I2 Intro 1 to Intro 2
F1...F2 Fill 1 to Fill 2
E1...E2 Ending 1 to Ending 2
CV (Chord Variation)
Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line,
and the F-2 button to select this parameter. This param-
eter lets you select the Chord Variation to edit, after
selecting the Style Element this Chord Variation per-
tains to.
Measure counter
Track in record/edit
Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in
small letters (cv:cv1), the Chord Variation is empty; when it
is in capitals (CV:CV1), it is already recorded
SE:V1...V4 You can select one of 6 Chord Variations to
edit.
SE:I1...E4 You can select one of 2 Chord Variations to
edit.
R (Recording Mode)
This parameters lets you select between the Realtime
and the Step recording modes. Use one of the E VOL-
UME/VALUE buttons and the F-3 function button to
select this parameter. Change its status using the E
VOLUME/VALUE buttons, or the TEMPO/VALUE
controls.
RT Realtime. This methods allows you to
record in realtime each pattern of the Style.
Stp Step Record. This method allows you to
enter the events one at a time. See "Style
Record procedure" below for more infor-
mation.
RL (Recording Length)
This parameter sets the recording length (in measures) of
the selected track. Its value is always equal to, or a divider
of, the Chord Variation Length (see next parameter).
This is not the total length of the Chord Variation, but
just of the current track. For example, you may have a
Chord Variation eight measures long, with a drum pat-
tern repeating each two measures. If so, set the CV Len
parameter to "8", and the RecLen parameter to "2"
before starting recording the Drum track. When saving
the Style, or executing any edit operation on the Style,
the 2-measures pattern will be extended to the full 8-
measures length of the Chord Variation.
Warning: If you assign CVLen a value lower than
RecLen, the value of RecLen is not immediately
updated in the display. Therefore, you are still free of
changing the value of CVLen, before the measures
exceeding its value are deleted (see warning in "CVLen
(Chord Variation Length)" below).
However, if you press START/STOP to begin recording,
the real RecLen value is changed to the new one, even if
the display still shows the old value.
For example, you may have CVLen = 4 and RecLen = 4.
If you set CVLen to 2, and press START/STOP to begin
recording, RecLen is still shown as 4, but it is in reality
set to 2, and recording will cycle for just 2 measures.
After you press START/STOP to stop recording,
RecLen is updated to 2, and all measures after the sec-
ond measure are deleted.
CVLen (Chord Variation Length)
This parameter sets the total length (in measures) for
the selected Chord Variation. When playing a Style,
this will be the length of the accompaniment pattern to
be cycled, when the chord corresponding to the Chord
Variation is recognized on the keyboard.
Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length
after recording, any measure after the selected length
will be deleted. Be very careful when setting the CVLen
to a lower value after recording!
