the next chord.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to input more chords.

NOTE
Use the procedure under Correcting Mistakes While
Step Recording on page E-59 to correct input mistakes
you make during step recording.
You can add on to a track that already contains recorded
data by selecting that track in step 3 of the above
procedure. Doing so automatically locates the step
recording start point at the first beat immediately
following the previously recorded data.
Inputting 0 as the chord length in steps 5 and 6 of the
above procedure specifies a rest, but the rest is not
reflected in the accompaniment contents when the
accompaniment is played.
Track 1 Contents After Step

In addition to chords, the following data is also recorded to
Track 1 during step recording. This data is applied whenever
Track 1 is played back.

FILL-IN 1, VARIATION/FILL-IN 2, and SYNCHRO/FILL-
IN NEXT buttons. For more information, see Specifying
the Length of a Note on page E-56. Specifying release
timing specifies that the applicable button remains
depressed for a particular amount of time. If you do not
specify the release timing, it is assumed that the button
is pressed and then immediately released.
