Element Sub-menus

After displaying the Element menu in the Pattern Edit Mode, use the [￿] and [ ￿] cursor keys to scroll through the Element sub-menus.

Setting the Number of Measures for Each Element

You can specify the number of measures for each element (except for the fill-in element) of an accompaniment pattern before you start recording it.

Me a s = 0 2

IMPORTANT!

You can specify the number of measures for each element only in the following cases.

•Immediately after clearing Pattern Sequencer work area contents (page E-54).

•After all the parts of the element whose number of measures you want to change have been deleted using the Pattern Create Mode.

In all other cases, the number of measures that is pre-programmed for the base accompaniment pattern cannot be changed.

•Use [+] and [–] to input a value of 01 to 16 for the number of mea- sures.

Setting the Original Key for Each Element

You can set the basic key for each element when recording an accompaniment pattern. The default setting for the original key is C.

O r Ke y C

When you play the chord that is set as the element’s original key while playing back an accompaniment pattern, all notes recorded on the element are played back exactly as they are recored (and are not affected by chord conversion table).

❚ NOTES ❚

•You can change the Original Key setting for each element in the follow- ing cases only.

•Immediately after clearing the Pattern Sequencer work area.

See “Work Area Clear” on page E-54 for details on the work area clear operation.

•After all parts of the element whose Original Key you want to change have been deleted using the Pattern Create Mode (page E-52).

In all other cases, the Original Key setting of the accompaniment pattern used as the base pattern is used, and cannot be changed. In this case the display does not flash.

•Set the original key to C if you want your pattern to be compatible with built-in patterns.

Accompaniment Pattern Playback During Part Setting

Pressing the START/STOP button while setting Part menu parameters starts playback of the Auto Accompaniment pattern, so you can immediately hear how a change in a parameter affects the accompa- niment. You can perform the following operations while Auto Accompaniment is playing.

•You can specify chords using the chord play method (CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD) that suits the ac- companiment mode selected with the MODE button.

•You can change sub-menu settings, and immediately hear how changes affect the accompaniment pattern.

Chord Conversion Table Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to specify the chord conversion table of the accompaniment pattern for each part of an element.

C h o�r d = 00

Accompaniment patterns are normally recorded in the key of C. When you select an accompaniment pattern and specify a key by with the accompaniment keyboard, the pattern is transposed from the key of

Cto the specified key. Simply transposing chords on a one-to-one basis, however, can result in mechanical, unnatural sounding pat- terns. To compensate for this, the keyboard has 19 built-in chord con- version tables that make chord progressions in different keys sound more natural.

•Select the part of an element whose setting you want to change, and then use [+] and [–] to specify a value in the range of 00 to 18, which specifies the chord conversion table number.

•See “Chord Conversion Table” on page A-8 for details on chord conversion table numbers and contents.

Break Point Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to specify the break point of the accompaniment pattern for each part of an element.
