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.

C = chord tone

C S C C S C C, S = scale tones

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.

9 Stop Recording

Stop recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button. When recording is stopped the MEASURE number on the display will return to “1”.
