This section explains how to add chord information (root
and chord type) data to the rhythm song that you have
created by inputting rhythm pattern data. When playing a
rhythm song for which chord information was input, the
bass sequence will change according to the chord
progression.
HINT
• If the original root of the rhythm pattern and the root specified
for the rhythm song are different, the bass sequence phrase
will be transposed according to the root input for the rhythm
song.
• If the original chord type of the rhythm pattern and the chord
type specified for the rhythm song are different, the bass
sequence phrase will be converted according to the chord
type input for the rhythm song. (Depending on the phrase and
chord type, there may be no change.)
1.
Bring up the rhythm song selection screen
and turn the dial to select the rhythm song
for which to enter chord information.
2.
Press the REC [
O
] key.
The key lights up and rhythm song step input becomes
possible.
3.
Use the cursor up/down keys to bring up
the indication “ROOT” on the first line of the
display.
You can now enter the chord root for the rhythm pattern
played at this point.
At a point where rhythm pattern information is already
input, the chord information “E--” (root: E, chord type:
no conversion) is automatically assigned. Therefore, for a
rhythm song without entered chord information, the
phrase of the pattern is unchanged and the root is
transposed to E.
4.
Turn the dial to specify the note name (C –
B) that will be the root of the chord.
The following screen shows an example of changing the
chord root to A.
