On the top line of the Song/Style display ap- pear the letters “MT” to indicate that the Met- ronome is active. On the bottom line at the center, the chord track is shown as being active to record data by the indication “Chord=Rec”. If you don’t want to play with the metronome, press the METRONOME button in the SONG EDIT section.

5.Press either PLAY or START/STOP to start the re- cording.

Pressing PLAY starts the sequencer to record the keyboard track(s) only.

Pressing START/STOP starts the sequencer to record the chords that trigger the auto ac- companiments of the Style.

A metronome will beat time (drum sticks) and you will have a one measure lead into the recording to get ready.

▶ Note: If you want to synchronize the start of the recording with the keyboard tracks and accompaniments, press KEY START and start to play on the keyboard. Recording starts instantly with no countdown into the recording.

6.Start playing after the one bar lead.

Any notes you play during the lead-in will not be recorded.

During the recording, use the Style controls as you would when playing a Style:

• Use the Fills;

• Change Variation;

• Change Style (even with a different Time Signature - e.g. from 4/4 to 3/4), etc.....
