Recording Melody and Chords with
Step Recording
With step recording, you can record Auto-Accompaniment
chords and notes, and even specify note lengths one by one.
Even those who find it difficult to play along on the key-
board with an Auto-Accompaniment can create Auto-Accom-
paniments based on their own original chord progressions.
The following shows the type of data that can be recorded in
Tracks 1 through 6.
Track 1: Chords and Auto-Accompaniment
Tracks 2 through 6: Keyboard play
With step recording, first record the chords and Auto-Accom-
paniment in Track 1. Next, record the melody in Tracks 2
through 6.
