Entering chord progression data
This section explains how to add chord information
(root and chord type) to the song. Songs for which
chord information has been entered will play with
the bass phrase being transposed and transformed
according to the chord progression.
H INT
• If the original root of the pattern and the root
entered for the song are different, the song
root will be used to transpose the bass phrase.
• If the original chord type of the pattern and
the chord type entered for the song are
different, the song chord type will be used to
transform the bass phrase. (Some phrases
may not be transformed.)
1. Press the [RHYTHM] key repeatedly
to bring up the SONG mode top
screen.
2. Press the [REC] key.
3. If required, move to the point where
you want to enter the first chord.
In the example shown below, the song start position
is selected. The indication “EV” means that some
kind of event information (pattern, chord, tempo,
etc.) has already been entered at that point.
4. Use the cursor up/down keys to
bring up chord information (root +
chord type) on the display.
At a point where pattern information is input, the
chord information “E--” (root: E, chord type: no
transformation) is automatically assigned. "r"
indicates that the root can be specified.
H INT
•When “--” (no transformation) is selected as
chord type, the bass phrase of the pattern is
played as is. (However, the entire phrase will still
be transposed according to the song root.)
• When no information is input at the current
point, the indication "
←ROOT" (for root) or
"
←CHORD" (for chord type) is shown.
5. Turn the dial to select the root.
The root can be set in the range from E to D#.
6. Press the cursor [W] key.
"C" indicates that the chord type can be specified
from this screen.
7. Turn the dial to select the chord type.
The following settings are possible.
8. Use the cursor [R] key to proceed to
the next measure where you want to
input chord information, and then
perform the procedure again.
At the chord information input screen, you can use
the cursor left/right keys to move the input point in
measure units. (To check the position, press the
cursor [Q] key repeatedly to bring up the current
position screen.)
