Technics sx-PR804/M Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
Outline of the Composer
The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS
and ACCOMP15 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.
Rhythm components which can be stored
Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, ENDING 1, 2 pat-
terns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).
Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL
2.
A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for each
of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.
The patterns in the table above can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).
Memory capacity
Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which
can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about
13,000. The remaining memory available for recording is
shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).
When Memory full! appears on the display no more data
can be stored in the COMPOSER.
MEMORY
Because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after about
80 minutes after the power is turned off, you should save
the data on floppy disks if you wish to keep it. (Refer to page
99.)
