1 Make all desired PortaTone settings.

Before you actually start recording, you’ll need to make various settings for the song — such as selecting a style, setting the Tempo, and selecting a voice. (See pages 47, 76, and 27.)

Selecting a style lets you use the sophisticated auto accompaniment fea- tures as part of your song. In this way, you can simply play the chords, and the PortaTone automatically creates the appropriate bass and chord back- ing. (For more information on auto accompaniment, see page 52.)

If desired, also make other settings. Refer to the list above for settings that can be recorded to a song.
