• Available Voices for recording
Any except for the Organ Flutes Voice/Drum Kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording.
• Record a phrase in CM7 (for playing appropriate notes while chords change during performance)
Rules when recording a Main or Fill
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord (
) is set to CM7. This means that you
should record a Source Pattern using a CM7 scale, which will change according to the chords you
specify during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear
when CM7 is specified. See below for details.
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A,
and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord
changes you make during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you
need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create special
chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set
to CM7.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C
scale.
