Recording Melody and Chords with Step Recording

With step recording, you can record Auto-Accompaniment chords and notes, and even specify note lengths one by one. Even those who find it difficult to play along on the keyboard with an Auto-Accompaniment can create Auto- Accompaniments based on their own original chord progressions. The following shows the type of data that can be recorded in Tracks 1 through 6.

Track 1

: Chords and Auto-Accompaniment

Tracks 2 through 6 : Keyboard play

With step recording, first record the chords and Auto- Accompaniment in Track 1. Next, record the melody in Tracks 2 through 6.

Use the procedure under “To record to Tracks 2 through 6 using real-time recording” on page E-55 for details on how to record to Tracks 2 through 6.
