•Formulas entered with the FAST method are saved for each project. If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 - 3 to call up the formulas, edit numbers or formulas, and write the song again.

•When you edit a song, the entire rhythm song is written again. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is not possible.

•There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due to input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the same, regardless of whether it was created using step input or the FAST method. A song written with the FAST method can therefore be edited using step input.

Inputting root/chord data

This section explains how to add chord data to the rhythm song that you created by inputting rhythm pattern data. Chord data consists of a “ROOT” that specifies the root (C, C#, D ...B) of the chord, and “CHORD” that specifies the type of chord (major or minor, etc.).

The bass phrase of the rhythm pattern will be transposed according to the root that you input. Also, the bass phrase will be converted according to the type of chord you specify.
