■To edit the chord progression

1. On the editing operation selection screen (page E-27), select “CHORD” and then press the  (ENTER) button to display the chord progression editing screen shown below.

(2) Cursor

(1) Step (timing and chord)

(3) Resolution

(1)Step (timing and chord)

The timing of a chord progression is expressed as a

series of three values separated by colons (such as 001:1:00) indicating measure*1 (001), beat (1), and tick (00).*2 This series of three values is referred to

collectively as a “step”.

The screen shot above shows the first two steps (001, 002) of the Music Preset. Use the (REW) and

(FF) buttons to scroll and view other steps.

*1 Up to 999 measures

*2 There are 12 ticks per beat, as shown below.

Specifies the step that is currently selected for editing.

(3)Resolution

Resolution is a unit used when editing step timing. The initial resolution is R1 (one measure), but you also can select R4 (1 beat = 4 quarter notes) when

you want to specify chords for each beat. Use the instrument part buttons ( through ) to select one of the eight resolutions shown below.

2. Use the (REW) and (FF) buttons to move the cursor (2) on the chord progression editing screen to the step you want to select.

3. Change the content of the selected step as desired.

3-1.Select a chord fingering mode and use the chord keyboard (page E-18) to input chords.

Fingering a chord causes the cursor (2) to move to the next step automatically.

•If you want to advance to the next step

without changing the current chord, press the (PAUSE) button.

•If (3) Resolution is shorter than the time up to the next step, a new step (without chord) that is equal to the time of the resolution will be inserted temporarily into the Music Preset. Fingering a chord for the new step will cause the step to be registered as part

of the Music Preset, and the cursor will advance to the next step.* You can use this operation to insert a new step between the current and following step.

*Using the (REW) and (FF) buttons to move the cursor without inputting a chord will delete the temporarily inserted step.

3-2.Use the  (w, q) buttons to change the step timing (measure:beat:tick).

Each press of either button changing the timing in accordance with the resolution.

•The range of values you can specify for the step timing is limited by the steps before and after the current step.

•The timing of the first step (001:1:00) is fixed and cannot be changed. Also, the final step is always one measure, regardless of the resolution.

Last step

3-3.To delete a step, press both of the  (w and q) buttons at the same time.

•You cannot delete the first step or the last step.
