With step recording, you can record a chord progression one chord at a time. Before you start, read these tips. (If you want to record one note at a time, refer to “Recording Multiple Tracks” on Page 37.)

To start accompaniment with an intro pattern, press INTRO after SYN- CHRO/ENDING in Step 6 of “Step Recording.”

To switch to a rhythm variation, press VAR/FILL-INimmediately before entering the chord in Step 6 of “Step Recording.”

To insert an ending or fill in, press

SYNCHRO/ENDING or NORMAL/FILL- IN (VAR/FILL-IN for variation rhythm) immediately before entering the chord in Step 6 of “Step Recording.”

To step-record chords without a rhythm, skip Step 5 of “Step Record- ing.” The chord of the specified length is recorded. A rest can be specified there, so you can create an original chord pattern.

To add chord accompaniment dur- ing rhythm play, enter rests from the beginning of the recording up to where you want accompaniment to start. Then enter only the chords (no rests).
