2.Press the Stop [ ] button to stop playback.

The accompaniment you’ve composed is registered at “0:New Song.” Press the Play [ ] button and try fingering the melody while the accompaniment you’ve composed is played back.

Pressing the [To Variation] button or the [To Original] button adds a fill-in at the cursor position and a Variation or Original Division at the measure after the fill-in. If you want to enter a Variation or Original Division without inserting a fill-in, you need to assign the function to the pedal. See “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147).

To insert fractional chords such as Fm/C, assign the “Leading Bass function” to a Pad button or a pedal. See “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147).

You can only insert an intro at the beginning of a song. When you add an intro, the number of bars corresponding to the length of the intro is inserted automatically.

If you assign the function to a pedal, you can insert a break in the middle of a song. See “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147).

The song you’ve created disappears when you turn off the power. If you don’t want to lose it, you should save it on a floppy disk. Take a look at “Saving Songs to Floppy Disks” (p. 109).
