Backing Sequence (Quick Record) recording
procedure
Here is the general procedure to follow for the Backing Sequence
(Quick) Recording.
1. Press the SEQUENCER button to enter the Song mode.
2. Press the RECORD button, and select the “Backing
Sequence (Quick Record)” option to enter the Backing
Sequence (Quick Record) mode. Now you can prepare your
recording parameters. (For more details, see “Record
mode: Backing Sequence (Quick Record) page” on
page 130).
3. The latest selected Style is currently selected. If it is not the
right one, select a different Style to start recording with.
(See “Style Select window” on page 82).
4. The latest selected Performance or STS is currently
selected. If you prefer, select a different Performance or
STS. (See “Performance Select window” on page 84, and
“STS Select” on page 85).
5. Select the status of the Backing Sequence tracks, by using
the Kbd/Pad and Ch/Acc parameters. (Kbd/Pad stays for
Keyboard and Pads; Ch/Acc stays for Chord and Accompa-
niment, i.e. the Style tracks). To record all you play on the
keyboard, plus the automatic accompaniment, leave their
status to Rec (see “Track status icons” on page 127).
War ni ng : Tracks set to REC are automatically overwritten
when starting recording. Set a track to the PLAY or MUTE
status, when you don’t want to delete it. For example, if you
are recording a keyboard part on an existing Style track, set
the Ch/Acc parameter to PLAY, and the Kbd/Pad track to
REC.
6. Start recording by pressing the START/STOP button.
Since you can use any Style control, you could start with the
usual combinations (INTRO, ENDING…).

SYNCHRO, TAP TEMPO/RESET, MANUAL BASS, BAL-
ANCE controls.

Style.

START/STOP button or one of the ENDING buttons. You

“Sequencer Play - Main page” on page 123).

ton in the PLAYER section to listen to the new Song.

ment enters standby, switching to the Style Play or Song Play
