The Chord Sequencer
In case you need both hands free for playing a solo while a Style is playing, you can record a Chord
Sequence and let Pa600 play the chords for you.
1
Press the START/STOP button to set the Style to play.
2
Press the MEMORY and MAN. BASS (RECORD) buttons together to start recording.
3
Start recording your Chord Sequence at the beginning of the next measure.
While recording, you will see a red flashing icon in the display.
4
Play the chords in the chord scan area.
The chord scan area is under the Split Point if the SPLIT LED is turned on. Usually, it is over the
whole keyboard if the SPLIT LED is turned off. The chord scan area also depends on the status
of the Chord Recognition parameter (Global > Mode Preferences > Style).
Hint: You can avoid stop-
ping the Chord Sequencer
after recording, and immedi-
ately set the Sequence to
play, as explained in the fol-
lowing step.
5
When the Chord Sequence is done, press the MEMORY and MAN. BASS (RECORD) but-
tons together again to stop recording.
6
Press the ACCOMP and MEMORY (PLAY/STOP) buttons to start playback.
The LED of the two buttons will start flashing. The Chord Sequence will be played back in loop
starting from the next measure. Recorded chords will be sent to the arranger, and the Style will
play with the recorded chords.
7
Play your solo part, while the Chord Sequencer plays the chords for you.
During Chord Sequence looping, you can freely select any Fill or Variation, as if you where play-
ing chords with your hands.
