10-5 Style Record mode
Main page
the chord corresponding to the Chord Variation is recognized
on the keyboard.
Warning: If you reduce the Chord Variation Length after
recording, any measure after the selected length will be
deleted. Be very careful when setting the CVLen to a lower
value after recording!
Metro (Metronome)
This is the metronome heard during recording.
Off
No metronome click will be heard during
recording. A one-bar precount will be played
before starting recording.
On1 Metronome on, with a one-bar precount
before starting recording.
On2 Metronome on, with a two-bar precount
before starting recording.
Resol (Resolution)
This parameter sets the quantization during recording.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For exam-
ple, 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 divi-
sion.
Meter
This is the meter (time signature) of the Style. You can edit
this parameter only when the Style is empty, i.e. before you
begin recording.
Original Key/Chord
This is the track’s original key and chord. Use the D VOL-
UME/VALUE buttons to select the line, and the F1 and F2
buttons to switch from the key/chord name and the key/
chord type (Maj, min…).
When in Style Play mode, this chord will be played back
exactly as it was recorded, without any NTT processing (see
below). To record just one Chord Variation for a Style Ele-
ment, the suggested original key/chord is “maj7”. Be very
careful to play the 7th+ note (i.e., with a “Cmaj7th” key/
chord, the B), to avoid the lack of notes, or a bad NTT con-
version when playing different chords.
Note: To conform to KD specifications, it is advisable to record
both the “Major” and “Minor” Chord Variations for the Intro 1
and Ending 1 Style Elements.
When you select a track, the original key/chord assigned to
the selected track will be activated. All recorded tracks will
play back on that key/chord. For example, if the original key/
chord for the Acc1 track is A7th, when selecting the Acc1
tracks all the remaining tracks will play according to the A7th
key/chord.
In the above example, you will record the Acc1 track in the
AMajor key, with notes that will comply with the A7th chord.
This is the pattern that will be recalled exactly as it was
recorded, when playing an A7th chord.
Copying the Key/Chord value to all other tracks of the same
Chord Variation.
While in this page, you can keep the SHIFT
button pressed, while pressing one of the [D] VOLUME/
VALUE buttons, to copy the Key of the currently selected
track to all other tracks of the same Chord Variation. This
function is useful to speed-up pattern programming, and to
avoid having different tracks in different keys within the same
Chord Variation.
NTT
The Note Transposition Table (NTT) determines how the
arranger will transpose pattern notes, when playing a chord
that does not exactly match to the original chord of a Chord
Variation. For example, if you only recorded a Chord Varia-
tion for the CMaj chord, when a CMaj7 is recognized on the
keyboard the arranger must transpose some notes to create
the missing 7th.
Note: To meet the KD specifications, it is advisable to set the
NTT to “No Transpose” on the Intro 1 and Ending 1.
Root The root note (in CMaj = C) is transposed to
the missing notes.
5th The 5th note (in CMaj = G) is transposed to
the missing notes.
i-Series All original patterns must be programmed on
the “Maj7” or “min7” chords. When loading
old KD i-Series instruments, this option is
automatically selected.
No Transp No transposition applied. The pattern will
always play as recorded. This is the standard
setting of Intro 1 and Ending 1 in KD’s original
Styles.
