Recording parameters area
Element (Style Element)
This parameter lets you select a Style Element for editing. Each
Style Element corresponds to a button on the control panel car-
rying the same name. After selecting a Style Element, select a
Chord Variation for actual editing (see below).
Var1…End3 This is the selected Style Element
Chord Var (Chord Variation)
This parameter lets you select a Chord Variation for editing,
after selecting the Style Element this Chord Variation belongs to.
Note: When this parameter and the assigned value is in small let-
ters (cv1…cv6), the Chord Variation is empty; when it is in capi-
tals (CV1…CV6), it is already recorded.
• If the Style Element is Var1, Var2, Var 3 or Var4, you can select
one of 6 Chord Variations to edit.
• If the Style Element is Intro1, Intro2, Intro3, Fill1, Fill2, Fill3,
Fill4, Ending1, Ending2 or Ending3, you can select one of 2
Chord Variations to edit.
Resolution
Use this parameter to set the quantization during recording.
Quantization is a way of correcting timing errors; notes played
too soon or too later are moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic
“grid”, set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.
Note: To quantize after recording, use the Quantize function in the
Edit section (see “Style Edit: Quantize” on page 19).
High No quantization applied.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For example,
when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the
nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8, all
notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division. A ‘3’
after the quantization value means triplet.
Rec Length (Recording Length)
This parameter sets the recording length (in measures) of the
selected track. Its value is always equal to, or a divider of, the
Chord Variation Length (see next parameter).
This is not the total length of the Chord Variation, but just of the
current track. For example, you may have a Chord Variation
eight measures long, with a drum pattern repeating each two
measures. If so, set the CV Length parameter to “8”, and the Rec
Length parameter to “2” before starting recording the Drum
track. When playing back the Style, saving it or executing any
edit operation on the Style, the 2-measures pattern will be
extended to the full 8-measures length of the Chord Variation.
