Record the Selected part
....................................................................................................................................................
You can now add new notes to the selected part
by playing the keyboard at the appropriate timing.
All parts must be entered in the key of C major 7. If
both the
RHY1 and RHY2 parts are cleared the
metronome will sound to provide a timing guide (the
metronome sound is not recorded). A single drum
instrument can be cleared from the
RHY1 and/or
RHY2 track by pressing the key corresponding to
the instrument to be cleared while holding the
RHY
DIRECT CANCEL LCD button.
NOTES
• Key On/Off ,Voice , Volume , Pitch Bend and Modulation
data can be recorded.
• When the RHY1 or RHY2 part is selected the keyboard
percussion mode is automatically engaged. In this case
the drum kit voice can be changed via the RIGHT 1 voice
selectors. All voices in the [CUSTOM] group can be
selected — but only drum kit voices will sound.
• If a preset style or an SFF style loaded from disk is being
used unedited, or a part contains no data, REC will appear
in gray for all except the RHYTHM parts and the REC
mode cannot be selected. New data can be recorded for
such parts by first deleting all data from the part.
• Playback can be started and stopped via the [START/
STOP] button as required while in the CUSTOM ACCOMP.
RECORD mode — data cannot be recorded while play-
back is stopped. It is a good idea, however, to use
[SYNCHRO START] if you want to record from the top of
the first measure.

Set the Part Volume Levels
...............................................................................................................................................
Use the ▼ LCD button to the left of the display
to select the VOLUME parameters. Then use the
VOLUME OFFSET LCD [▲/▼] controls to adjust
the volume of each part to create the best overall
balance. Since these are “offset” parameters, both
“+” and “–” settings are possible to increase or
decrease the volume from the preset level, respec-
tively. These settings apply to the corresponding
parts in all sections of the accompaniment.
• The volume of the voice being edited can be adjusted by
pressing the [MIXER] button and using the R1 [ s / t ] LCD
controls.
• A “KEY OFF” event will automatically be recorded after the last
note in the accompaniment.
• If a custom accompaniment which includes an empty section is
saved to disk, the empty section will be replaced by a suitable
section when the accompaniment is later loaded and played.

Repeat Until All Parts Have Been Recorded

Continue selecting the REC mode for the various
tracks and recording them as required until all parts
have been recorded.
