Chapter 7 Creating Music Styles

❍Creating Styles in Auto Mode

Points to note when creating songs

•Use one of the major, minor, or diminished seventh chords to create the song. We recommend using diminished seventh chords to compose the song.

•It is convenient to record the sounds shown below for the Parts of the 16-track sequencer.

Rhythm	Bass	Accomp	Accomp	Accomp
		1	2	3
D (10)	2	7	8	9

→When using parts other than Part 2, 7, 8, 9, and D, refer to “Changing an Extracted Part” (p. 134).

Creating songs

1.Use the 16-track sequencer to record the song.

Record the song after referring to “Multitrack Recording with 16 Parts (16-Track Sequencer)” (p. 113) and other related sections.

When using music data, first select a song (p. 65).

3.Touch <Style Converter>.

*If no song for use in creating a new Style is selected, the message “Please select a song” appears. Use the [Select/Listen to a Song] button to select a song (p. 65), then start the procedure again.

*If a User Style has already been recorded, a message like the

one shown below appears.
