NOTE

A maximum of 5 user songs can be recorded. If you record a 6th song after recording to the 5 available user song locations, choose a song number (031 – 035) containing a song that you don’t mind erasing so that you can overwrite the internal user song memory without perma- nently losing your song data.

Up to approximately 10,000 notes can be recorded if you record only to the melody tracks. Up to approximately 5,500 chord changes can be recorded if you record only to the style track.

Track Configuration

NOTE

The Difference Between MELODY R and MEL- ODY L …

Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto- accompaniment style. Normally “melody” refers to the right-hand part, but in this instrument “melody” parts are provided for both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the melody part played by the left hand.
