7: Recording Original Songs (continued)
5 Select a Section
Use the section keys to select the section you
want to start the song with.
6 Set the Record Tempo
You can select a slower (to make recording easier)
or faster tempo as required in the normal way: press
[TEMPO] and then use the [–1] and [+1] keys, or the
number keys, to set the required tempo.
Then press [TEMPO] again, or the [EXIT] key, to
return to the record ready mode.
7 Enter the Starting Chord
Before actually starting to record, enter the first
chord in the normal way.
DETAIL
The record ready mode can be
disengaged at any time prior to
actually starting recording (the next
step) by pressing the [RECORD] or
[EXIT] key.
8 Start Recording
Press the [START/STOP] key to start recording. The QR10 metronome will sound and you will be given a two-measure
count-in. The count-in is indicated on the display,
below the triangular beat indicator, by minus
numbers from “–8” to “–1” if the selected pattern is
in 4/4 time, and from “–6” to “–1” if the selected
pattern is in 3/4 time.
No recording occurs during the count-in.
DETAIL
The QR10 metronome accents the
first beat of each measure by playing it at a higher pitch.
HINT
When recording over previously recorded data (see “Overdubbing”, below), you can start
recording from any specified measure by using the technique described in “Starting Playback from a
Specific Measure Number” on page 24: hold the [SHIFT] key and use the [–1] and [+1] keys to select
the starting measure number, then (still holding the [SHIFT] key) press the [START/STOP] key.
9 Enter Section and Chord Changes
The initially selected pattern, section, and chord will begin playing after the count-in, and you can then enter the required
section and chord changes in exactly the same way as in the PATTERN mode. All section and chord changes are recorded
exactly as they are entered.
DETAIL
You can also record pattern changes by selecting different patterns in the normal way: press
[PATTERN SELECT] and then use the number keys to select a pattern number. Then press [PATTERN
SELECT] again, or the [EXIT] key, to return to the record mode.
You should use the number keys rather than the [–1] and [+1] keys to record pattern changes in order
to switch directly to the desired pattern.
Tempo changes made in the normal way are also recorded, so you can create “accelerando” and
“ritardando” passages by changing the tempo with the [+1] and [–1] keys, or sudden tempo changes by
entering a new tempo via the number keys, as required.
