Music Presets

Timing Setting and Chord Progression Playback

This section explains how chord progressions are played in accordance with the “Timing” (Timing set) settings in step 5 under “To create and save a user preset” (page E-58). Note that this setting affects playback only. It does not change the chord progression data.

• Normal

Plays chords at the same timing as the recording.

• Half

Plays chords measure-by-measure at a timing that is half that of the recording.
