Additional Operations
Recording Chords and Sections to the Chord Track:
1)
Play a chord in the PATTERN section of the keyboard. (The chord name
appears in the display.)
• The Lead In section
can only be recorded at
the beginning of a song.
• When a Lead Out
section is selected, no
further notes can be
recorded.
Enter chords in the normal fashion, as single notes or full chords. (See
page 50.)
2)
Select a section by pressing the corresponding button.
When selecting a Lead In or Lead Out section, the length is fixed, and need
not be entered in step 3 below.
3)
Select the note (time) value with the numeric keypad.
4)
Enter additional chords by repeating steps 1 - 3 above. (Selecting a
section in step 2 is optional.)
Triplets are three notes
within a single beat —
in other words, one beat
is divided up into three
equal units. Each note
(or rest) of a triplet must
be entered separately.
Dotted notes extend the
length of a note by half
— in other words, the
length of a dotted
eighth note is an eighth
note plus a sixteenth
note.

Recording Rests:
1)
Select the desired position in the song with the +/- buttons.
2)
Press the “8” (rest) button in the numeric keypad.
3)
If you want to record a dotted rest or triplet rest, press the appropriate
numeric keypad button (“7” for dotted or “9” for triplets).
4)
Press the numeric keypad button (1 - 6) corresponding to the desired rest
value. (The specified rest value appears as an icon in the display.)
If you want to enter two
or more consecutive
beats of rest, you can
simply use the + button
to move forward in the
track (for as many beats
rest as desired). This
saves you the trouble of
repeatedly entering rests
when there are several
beats or measures of
silence between notes.
5)
After recording the desired rest value(s), record the next note.
