To record an accompaniment pattern
PREPARATION
• Select the accompaniment pattern (rhythm) that you want to use as a
base.
• Use the procedure under “To play back elements of the accompaniment
pattern in the work area” on page E-50 to play back the pattern and
become familiar with its elements and parts. During playback, you can
practice playing the notes you plan to record.
• Determine the number (120 to 129) you will assign to the new pattern.
• If you want to use the metronome, use the procedure under “Metro-
nome Setting” on page E-53 to select the metronome setting you want.
IMPORTANT!
You cannot record accompaniment patterns converted using the
Pattern Conversion Disk. See “Using the Utillities” on page E-71 for

sing the START/STOP button) of the above sequence. As soon as you
play something on the keyboard, recording starts right at the first beat
of the first measure.
