 Recording to the Bass, Chord 1–2, Pad and Phrase 1–2 Channels
The procedure below applies to step 5 in the Basic Procedure on page 27.
1 In the “Basic” page, press one of the [1]/[2] (Rec Channel) buttons to call up the “Rec
Channel” window.
2 Move the cursor to the desired channel (other than “Rhy1” and “Rhy2”), and then
press the [6] (Rec) button to set the channel as the recording target.
If a preset Style is selected, a confirmation message appears, prompting you whether or not to delete the
already recorded data of the selected channel. Press the [7] (OK) button to delete data and the selected
channel is specified as the recording target. Note that channel data other than the Rhythm channels of the
preset Style cannot be overdubbed.
3 If necessary, select a Voice, and then practice the bass line, chord backing, or phrase
to be recorded.
Press one of the [7]/[8] (Revoice) buttons to call up the Voice Selection display for the selected channel,
and then select the desired Voice. After selecting, press the [EXIT] button to return to the original display.
With the selected Voice, practice the phrase or chord backing to be recorded.
• Available Voices for recording
Any except for the Drum Kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording.
• Record a phrase in CM7 (for playing appropriate notes while chords change during performance)
Guidelines for recording a Main or Fill-in
With the default initial settings, the “Source Root/Source Chord” (page 38) is set to CM7. This means
that you should record a Source Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal
performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is
specified. Specifically, see the guidelines below.
• Use the notes from the C Ionian scale, which is the primary chord scale of CM7 in the key of C
Major—excepting the following notes, which should be avoided:
-“F” (4th)
- “D” (tension 9th, which doesn't work with chords with “b9th” or “#9th” in the Style engine)
In other words, use only the notes C, E, G, A, and B (Root, 3rd, 5th, 6th or 13th and Maj7th).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
If you observe these guidelines, Style playback notes are appropriately converted for most chords
depending on the chord changes you make during your performance.
CCCRC
C = Chord tones
R = Recommended notes
* When recording the Source Pattern, you should use the “C” and “R” notes
based on the above, and avoid the others.
