Chapter 7. Using the Chord Memory Function (CHORD)
Creating Your Own Chord Forms
Not only can you use the prepared internal Chord Forms, which
determine the constituent notes of chords played using the Chord
Memory function, but you can also freely create and rewrite them as
well.
The Chord Forms pre-programmed at the factory are used in
Preset Patches and factory-programmed User Performances as
well, so note that when you rewrite part of the Chord Forms, the
sounds of Preset Patches and factory-set User Performances in
which the Chord Memory function is turned on change. By
carrying out Factory Reset (p. 94), you can get the SH-32 to once
again sound exactly as it did when you first took it out of the
box.
1. Press [CHORD], causing the indicator to blink.
fig.07-01
The Chord Form number appears in the display.
2. Press [VALUE ▼/▲] to select a Chord Form number with the
content you want to rewrite.
3. Press [WRITE], causing the button indicator to light.
The Preview (note-entry) function automatically turns on,
[HOLD] lights up, and the chord recorded to the Chord Form
selected in Step 2 continues to play.
4. Press [HOLD] to stop the sound.
5. Press a note-entry button to specify the note you want to be
played when you press the C4 key.
The button for the specified sound blinks, and the sound is held
and continues to play.
• You can deselect the held sound by pressing the blinking button
again. Alternatively, you can deselect all sounds at once by
pressing [HOLD].
• You can use [-OCT] and [+OCT] to specify sounds over an even
wider range.
6. When you have finished making the settings for the sound
you want to write to the Chord Form, press [WRITE] once
more.
[WRITE] blinks, and the message “ ” (Sure?) blinks in the
display, prompting you to confirm that the data is to be saved.
7. Press [WRITE] once more to carry out the save. To cancel
the save, press [EXIT].
You can create and save Chord Forms in both Patch mode and
Performance mode, and the same 64 Chord Forms are used from
both modes.
Using the Chord Memory
Function in Performance Mode
The Chord Memory function is not used with Rhythm Sets. Thus, the
Chord Memory function cannot be used with Part 4/R in
Performance mode if a Rhythm Set is assigned to that Part.
Selecting the Chord Form
One Chord Form may be selected for the entire Performance. You
cannot change Chord Forms for each individual Part.
Use of Chord Forms (11.c–88.c) and Rhythm Styles (11.r–88.r) is
shared by both Performance mode and Patch mode.
1. Confirm that the SH-32 is in Performance mode.
2. If a Rhythm Set is assigned to Part 4/R, press a Part button
[1]–[3] to select a Part 1–3.
When a Rhythm Set is assigned to Part 4/R, you cannot select a
Chord Form if you select Part 4/R.
3. Press [CHORD], causing the button indicator to blink, then
press [VALUE ▼/▲] to select the Chord Form number (11.c–
88.c).
4. Press [CHORD], causing the indicator light to go off.
Specifying the Part to Use the Chord
Memory Function
Of the Parts to which Patches are assigned, this specifies the Parts
that are to be played using the Chord Memory function. Only one
Part can be specified for performances using the Chord Memory
function; that setting can be saved to individual Performances with
the write procedure.
1. Hold down [CHORD] and press a Part button ([1]–[4/R]) to
select the Part you want to use with the Chord Memory
function; the button’s light comes on.
• You cannot specify Part 4/R if a Rhythm Set is assigned to Part
4/R.
• Although in this procedure only one Part can be specified as
using the Chord Memory function, if the specified Part is part of
a stack, then Chord Memory still operates using the stacked
Parts. If you do not want to have the Chord Memory applied to
Parts other than the one specified, do not stack the Parts (p. 72).
