Style Record procedure

STYLE RECORD PROCEDURE
There are two different methods for recording a Style:
Realtime and Step.
• Realtime Recording allows you to record Style pat-
terns in realtime.
• Step Recording allows you to create a new Style by
entering the single notes or chords in each track. This
is very useful when transcribing an existing score, or
needing a higher grade of detail, and is particularly
suitable to create drum and percussion tracks.
Preparing to record
1. If you like to edit an existing Style, select that Style.
2. Press RECORD to enter the Style Record mode.
You are prompted to select either the Current
Style, or a New Style.
Select "Current Style" if you want to edit the cur-
rent Style, or make a new Style starting from an
existing one. Select "New Style" if you want to
start from scratch with an empty Style.
3. After you select your preferred option, the Main
page of the Style Record mode will appear.
4. Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons, and the F-1
and F-2 function keys to select the E (Style Ele-
ment) and CV (Chord Variation) parameter.
Note: For more information on the Style Elements and
Chord Variations, and the Style structure in general, see
"The Style's structure" on page 52.
5. Use the RL (Recording Length) parameter to set
the length (in measures) of the pattern to step-
record. Select this parameter using the E VOL-
UME/VALUE buttons and the F-4 function button.
Use the TEMPO/VALUE controls to set the value.
6. Use the Meter parameter to set the Style's meter.
You can edit this parameter only if you selected the
New Style option when entering the Record mode.
7. Set the tempo. Keep the SHIFT button pressed,
and use the TEMPO/VALUE controls to change the
tempo.
8. At this point, if you want to do a Realtime Record-
ing go on reading "Realtime Record procedure"
below. Otherwise, if you prefer to do a Step Record,
jump to "Step Record procedure" on page 59.
Realtime Record procedure
1. When still in the Main page of the Style Record
mode, press one of the E VOLUME/VALUE but-
tons, to select the "R" parameter. Use these but-
tons, or the TEMPO/VALUE controls, to select the
"RT" (Realtime) recording mode.
2. Press TRK SELECT to switch to the Style Tracks
page. Here you can assign the right Program to
each Style track. (For more details, see "Style
Tracks page" on page 56).
3. If you like, you can set the tempo again from this
page: just use the TEMPO/VALUE controls.
4. Assign a Program to each track, by using the PRO-
GRAM/PERFORMANCE section.
5. If needed, set the Octave Transpose for each track.
Note: The Octave Transpose will affect only the notes
coming from the keyboard, and not from the arranger.
6. Select the track to put in record. Its status icon will
begin flashing.
Note: When entering the Record mode, the last
selected track is already in record. When you press
START/STOP after entering the Record mode, you
can immediately start recording.
If you like, you can try your part before recording:
• Set the track in mute, by pressing both corre-
sponding VOLUME/VALUE buttons; the status
icon disappears.
• Press START/STOP to play back the other tracks,
if already recorded, and practice on the keyboard.
• When you have finished practicing, press
START/STOP to stop the arranger, and unmute the
track by pressing both VOLUME/VALUE buttons;
the track will be in record again.
7. While the status icon is flashing, press START/
STOP to begin recording. Depending on the
"Metro" (metronome) option you selected, a 1- or
2-bars precount may play before the recording
actually begins. When it begins, play freely. The
pattern will last for some measures, according to
the RecLen value, then restart.
Since the recording will happen in overdub, you
can add notes on any following passage. This is
