Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles

Realtime Recording (BASIC)

Create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using
realtime recording.

Realtime Recording Characteristics

• Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and
Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with
a two-measure main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes
that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record
while hearing previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded
data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is
not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 121) and
Delete (page 120). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN
section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will
play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop
while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is
applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm),
delete the original data before recording.
