Another way to build a song is to first enter dummy rhythm patterns for the required number of measures, and then add rhythm pattern information only at the measures where the pattern should change. This quickly gives you a series of rhythm patterns.

2-2 Entering chord information

When you have finished entering rhythm pattern information, you can specify chord information (root and chord type). The bass sound phrase will change according to this information. For example, you may have a rhythm pattern with a phrase that normally plays in E minor. By specifying G major as a chord for that rhythm pattern, the bass line changes to major scale and is transposed from E to G.

Chord information can be entered by measure, quarter note or sixteenth note. You can also change the chord/root during a rhythm pattern.

1. Press the REC [O] key at the start of the rhythmsong.
