Style name Track in record/edit

Style Play icon

When this icon appears in the display, you are in Style Play or Style Record mode.

Chord

While in the Main and Style Tracks page, this area shows the Original Key/Chord (see “Original Key/Chord” on page 56) for the selected track.

Style name

This is the name of the Style in record/edit.

Measure counter

This counter shows the measure in record. The measure range is specified by the “RecLen” parameter (see “RL (Recording Length)” on page 55).

Track in record/edit

Most editing in this edit mode are executed on a single track. While in the main page, the currently selected track is shown on the upper right area of the display. The abbreviations are: DR (Drums), PC (Percussion), BS (Bass), A1…A5 (Accom- paniment 1…5).

To select the track to edit, press TRACK SELECT to jump to the Style Tacks page (see “Style Tracks page” on page 56) and use the VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select it.

E (Style Element)

Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F1 button to select this parameter.

This parameter lets you select the Style Element to put in edit. Each Style Element corresponds to one of the buttons on the control panel carrying the same name.

Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in small letters (e:v1), the Style Element is empty; when it is in capitals (E:V1), it is already recorded

V1…V4	Variation 1 to Variation 4
I1…I2	Intro 1 to Intro 2
F1…F2	Fill 1 to Fill 2
E1…E2	Ending 1 to Ending 2

CV (Chord Variation)

Use the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F2 button to select this parameter. This parameter lets you select the Chord Variation to edit, after selecting the Style Element this Chord Variation pertains to.

Style Record mode 55

Main page

Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in small letters (cv:cv1), the Chord Variation is empty; when it is in cap- itals (CV:CV1), it is already recorded

SE:V1…V4	You can select one of 6	Chord Variations to
	edit.
SE:I1…E4	You can select one of 2	Chord Variations to
	edit.

R (Recording Mode)

This parameters lets you select between the Realtime and the Step recording modes. Use one of the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons and the F3 function key to select this parameter. Change its status using the E VOLUME/VALUE buttons, or the TEMPO/VALUE controls.

RT	Realtime. This methods allows you to record in
	realtime each pattern of the Style.
Stp	Step Record. This method allows you to enter
	the events one at a time. See “Style Record pro-
	cedure” below for more information.

RL (Recording Length)

This parameter sets the recording length (in measures) of the selected track. Its value is always equal to, or a divider of, the Chord Variation Length (see next parameter).

This is not the total length of the Chord Variation, but just of the current track. For example, you may have a Chord Varia- tion eight measures long, with a drum pattern repeating each two measures. If so, set the CV Len parameter to “8”, and the RecLen parameter to “2” before starting recording the Drum track. When saving the Style, or executing any edit operation on the Style, the 2-measures pattern will be extended to the full 8-measures length of the Chord Variation.

Warning: If you assign CVLen a value lower than RecLen, the value of RecLen is not immediately updated in the dis- play. Therefore, you are still free of changing the value of CVLen, before the measures exceeding its value are deleted (see warning in “CVLen (Chord Variation Length)” below). However, if you press START/STOP to begin recording, the real RecLen value is changed to the new one, even if the dis- play still shows the old value.

For example, you may have CVLen = 4 and RecLen = 4. If you set CVLen to 2, and press START/STOP to begin record- ing, RecLen is still shown as 4, but it is in reality set to 2, and recording will cycle for just 2 measures. After you press START/STOP to stop recording, RecLen is updated to 2, and all measures after the second measure are deleted.

CVLen (Chord Variation Length)

This parameter sets the total length (in measures) for the selected Chord Variation. When playing a Style, this will be the length of the accompaniment pattern to be cycled, when the chord corresponding to the Chord Variation is recognized on the keyboard.

Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length after recording, any measure after the selected length will be deleted. Be very careful when setting the CVLen to a lower value after recording!

Metro (Metronome)

This is the metronome heard during recording.

Off No metronome click will be heard during recording. A one-bar precount will be played before starting recording.
