• Material recorded data is

retained in memory even
when the STANDBY switch is
turned off if an AC adaptor is
connected (page 159). It is
nevertheless a good idea to
save important data to floppy
disk so that you can keep
them indefinitely and build up
your own data library (page
65).

Style Recording

The PSR-740/640 lets you record up to three original User styles which can be used for auto accompani-
ment in the same way as the preset styles. User Style data can also be saved to and loaded from floppy
disk (page 65).

You can create a User styles by using the internal style data as a starting point. Select a preset style that
is closest to the type of style you want to create, and record the auto accompaniment pattern to one track
of the section.

The PSR-740/640 provides two basic ways to record styles:

• Style Recording — Rhythm Track .................................................................................... page 112
• Style Recording — Bass/Phrase/Pad/Chord Tracks ........................................................ page 114

The four editing features below allow you to edit already recorded style data.

• Quantize ........................................................................................................................... page 116

This function aligns the timing of the recorded note data to a specified value.

• Naming User Styles ......................................................................................................... page 118

This function lets you name your original styles.

• Clearing User Style Data ................................................................................................. page 118

This function is for clearing (deleting) or part of the recorded style.

• CTAB Parameters ............................................................................................................ page 119

These parameters determines how the pitch of the accompaniment is converted
when you play chords in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.
