Specifying the Length of a Note

During step recording, the number buttons are used to specify the length of each note.

Example: To specify a quarter note ( ), press [3].

Dots ( ) and triplicates ( )

While holding down the [7] (dot) or [9] (triplicate), use buttons [1] through [6] to input the lengths of the notes. Example: To input a dotted eighth notes (), hold down

[7] and press [4].

Ties

Input the first and then the second note.

Example: To input , press [4] and then [8]. Next, press

[5].This note will be tied to the next note you input (16th note in this example).

Rest

Track 1 Step Recording Variations

The following describes a number of different variations you can use when recording to Track 1 using step recording. All of these variations are based upon the procedure described under “To record chords with step recording” on page E-49.

To start accompaniment with an intro pattern

In step 4, press INTRO/ENDING 1 or INTRO/ENDING 2 button after the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button.

To switch to a rhythm variation

In step 5, press VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/ FILL-IN 2 button immediately before inputting the chord.

To insert a fill in

In step 5, press VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/ FILL-IN 2 button at the measure or beat immediately before the chord or beat where you want to insert the fill in.

To insert an ending

In step 5, press INTRO/ENDING 1 or INTRO/ENDING 2 button at the measure or beat immediately before the chord where you want to insert the ending.

IMPORTANT!

The length of the ending depends on the rhythm you are us- ing. Check the length of the pattern you are using and set the length of the chord accordingly in step 6. Making the chord too short in step 6 can result in the ending pattern being cut off.

To step record chords without rhythm

Skip step 4. The specified chord of the length specified by the number buttons is recorded. A rest can be specified here, so an original chord pattern can be created.

To add chord accompaniment part way through rhythm play

In Place of step 4 at the start of the recording, press VARIA- TION/FILL-IN 1 or VARIATION/FILL-IN 2 button and input rests. Then in step 5, input the chords. Only rhythm is played where you input the rests, and then chord play starts after the rests.
