Part V Composer

Outline of the Composer

The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS and ACCOMP1–5parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.

Rhythm components which can be stored

Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, FILL IN 1, 2 patterns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).

•Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL 2.

•A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is avail- able for each of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.

INTRO	VARI 1	VARI 2	VARI 3	VARI 4	ENDING

2 Maj	FILL IN 2	FILL IN 2	FILL IN 2	FILL IN 2	2 Maj

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about 13,000. The remaining mem- ory available for recording is shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).

•When “Memory full!” appears on the display no more data can be stored in the COM-

POSER.

■MEMORY

Because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after the power is turned off, you should save the data on disks/SD cards if you wish to keep it. (Refer to pages 125, 140.)
