button and selecting in the normal way.

Recording will begin as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the
[START/STOP] button. The BEAT indicator dots will begin to indicate the
current beat, and the MEASURE parameter will show the current measure
number during recording.
The style will repeat continuously when recording is started, so you can
continue to add (“overdub”) notes until the current track is complete. The style
should be recorded based on a CM7 chord (C Major Seven) in order for it to
function properly when used for auto-accompaniment.

ATION
Observe the following rules when recording the MAIN and FILL sections:
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS, and PHRASE
tracks (i.e. C, D, E, G, A, and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD tracks (i.e. C ,
E, G, and B).
Any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and
ENDING sections.

• Before actually starting to
record you can try playing
the PSR-530 the way it is
set up by using the “Re-
hearsal Mode”: press the
[SYNC START] button to
temporarily disengage the
record ready mode, re-
hearse as necessary, then
press the [SYNC START]
button again to return to the
record ready mode.
• If the memory becomes full
while recording, “Full” will
appear on the display and
recording will stop (the re-
hearsal mode will be en-
gaged).
• Even though you can start
recording with the user style
memory space thoroughly
consumed, “Full” will be
shown on the display and
the recording will forcibly be
stopped. In this case, first
exit from the record mode,
next select the unnecessary
user style, and then enter
the record mode again and
execute the Clear function
(see page 70) to secure the
free space to record.
• For recording the RHYTHM
1/2 tracks, the instrument
symbols printed on the front
edge of the panel show you
the instrument assignments
to each key. See Keyboard
Percussion on page 19 for
playing each drum/percus-
sion sound.
9Stop Recording
Stop recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button. When recording is
stopped the MEASURE number on the display will return to “1”.
• You can also press the
[SYNC START] button to
stop recording and return to
the record ready mode.
