The Custom Accompaniment Programmer
Set a New Default Tempo
Play notes or chords to be added to the existing data, or delete all data on
the track (press the track button while holding the [DELETE] button) and
start from scratch. The bass and chord tracks must be programmed in the
key of C major!
Continue selecting new record tracks and variations, and program until
your custom accompaniment is complete.
Unwanted tracks can be deleted from the accompaniment by holding the [DE-
LETE] button and pressing the appropriate track button.
Although the bass and chord tracks must be programmed in C major, they are
automatically re-harmonized when the custom accompaniment is used in the
play mode, and can be used in any key, major or minor.
When programming an accompaniment from scratch, you can select a new
voice that will take effect from the beginning of the accompaniment after delet-
ing all tracks. Other voice changes added while programming will fake effect
from the point at which they are made.
The synchro start, start, and stop functions can be used when recording a cus-
tom accompaniment. The re-start function, however, cannot be used.
Pitch bend, modulation, and sustain changes are not recorded ii the accompani-
ment is stopped — the accompaniment must be running for parameter changes
to be recorded.
The Custom Accompaniment Programmer memory capacity is limited. When
the available memory for the track you are recording is exhausted, the “Work
Area Full !!" display will appear and further recording on that track will be impos-
sible unless existing data is deleted. Further, if the data size is too big when you
perform a save operation, "Memory Area Full!!/Can not Save” will appear on
the display.
Only preset voices 00 through 89 can be used to record bass and chord parts
(custom voices cannot be used).
If necessary, set a new default tempo for the custom accompaniment by
using the TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons.
