Guidelines for 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 guidelines for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create
special a special chord progression in recording. However, you should follow the guidelines below to
ensure that your phrases work well in common situations, since the “Source Root/Source Chord”
(page 38) is set to CM7 by default.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the phrase with the chord progression you record leads
properly into the its tonic chord at the end of the Intro. For example, in the key of C Major, the G7
chord is commonly used, since it strongly leads back into the tonic chord of the key of C Major.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the phrase with the chord progression you record resolves
to the original key at the beginning of the Ending. Recommended chords, which resolve to the key
smoothly, are the diatonic chords (i.e., CM7, Dm7, Em7, FM7, G7, Am7, and Bm7(b5) in the key of C
Major).
• Set the Source Root/Chord if necessary
Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to any
desired one in which you can play easily. Call up the “SFF Edit” page, set the Source Root and Chord to
the favorite or desired Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from
the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details,
refer to page 37.
4 Press the STYLE [START] button to start recording.
As the already recorded data plays back, press the [4] (On) or [5] (Off) button on the “Rec Channel”
window to turn on or off each channel as desired.
If necessary, you can delete channel data. On the “Basic” page, press one of the [5]/[6] (Channel Delete)
buttons to call up the operation window. In the window, select the desired channel and press one of the [1]/
[2] (Delete) buttons to set the channel as the delete target. After selecting all channels to delete, press the
[8] (Execute) button to actually delete the channel data.
5 As soon as loop playback returns to the first beat in the first measure, start playing
the bass line, chord backing or phrase to be recorded.
6 Press the [START] button to stop playback.
If you want to add more notes, press the [START] button again to continue recording.
• To hear the playback sound of the already recorded channels with another Source Root/Chord:
1) Call up the “SFF Edit” page, and then use the [3]/[4] (Target Channel) buttons to set the target
channel to “Rhythm1” or “Rhythm2.”
2) Press the [START] button to start playback.
3) On the “SFF Edit” page, set the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” to the desired Chord root and
Chord type.
This operation lets you hear how the Source Pattern is played back via chord changes during normal
performance.
7 On the “Rec Channel” window called up via the “Basic” page, press the [4] (On)
button to disable recording of the selected channel.
If the “Rec Channel” window is not shown, press one of the [1]/[2] (Rec Channel) buttons.
