Using the Pattern Sequencer

Pattern Sequencer Part Parameters

Table (Chord conversion table)

Recording of each accompaniment pattern is normally performed using C major (root of C, major type).* When playing an Auto Accompaniment, you can use a root other than C and a chord type other than major, if you want. This is accomplished by using a “chord conversion table” to convert the C major recorded data to another root and/or chord type. Regardless of what root or chord type you specify, the currently selected chord table is used to make corrections to suit the instrument parts and the type of music being played in order to ensure musically natural accompaniment.

*Depending on the rec menu “PlayChord” setting. For details, see “To configure pattern rec settings (Rec Menu)” (page E-106). With this parameter, you can select from among the 19 types of chord conversion tables listed below.
