EZ Chord — Recording
1 Enable recording.
Press the RECORD button, repeatedly if necessary, until EZ Chord
recording is selected. (“EZ” appears in the display and the
“RECORD” indication flashes for a couple of seconds.)
2 Select the desired EZ Chord bank.
Use the numeric keypad. Buttons 1 - 8 select EZ Chord banks #1 -
#8, respectively.
3 Start recording.
When the “RECORD” indication stops flashing (and is lit continu-
ously), you can start recording. Recording chords in EZ Chord is
essentially a three-step operation:
1) Select the desired block with the +/- buttons.
— Clearing
the Bank
Before recording, you may
want to erase (clear) all
recorded chords for the
selected EZ Chord bank. For
instructions on doing this,
see “Clearing an EZ Chord
Bank” on page 71.
2) At the selected block, record the desired chord.
You can do this in one of two ways:
• Play Multi Fingering chords in the auto accompaniment
section. (See page 56.)
• Enter the chord root and name manually from the
ROOT and CHORD TYPE section of the keyboard.
Even if you’ve recorded over
(erased) the factory set EZ
Chord banks, you can
restore the original banks.
(See page 105.)
