The “Start Measure” cell specifies the beginning measure, and the “End Mea- sure” cell specifies the ending measure.

In the case of a track you are recording for the first time, you will be able to input as far as the measure you specify in the “End Measure” cell. If the track has previously been recorded, this cell will automatically be set to the last measure.

Recording the automatic accompa- niment without performing (Step Recording)

By using the Step Recording function you can input controllers such as automatic accompaniment chords and fills at the specified measures, without having to actually play the keyboard yourself. This means that you can record an automatic accompa- niment from the chords or chord symbols of printed music, even if you are not able to play the piano.
