SONG/STYLE MODE

A Song/Style is an 8 track (max) Song created by recording the keyboard sounds with existing Styles. The chords that trigger the Styles are captured by the sequencer on a “Chords” track. Up to 3 keyboard tracks can be recorded. Song/ Styles are excellent providers of backing tracks for singers or solo instruments.

Up to 7 Song/Styles can reside in memory. The 8th location is reserved for the Chain function which chains the Song/Styles into a “medley”.
