You use this function to record chord values (root, type, on-
bass, and original bass) onto the CHORD track in real time.
This section describes the 3 (REPLACE) realtime re-
cording method. When you record with this method, you
overwrite any data already existing on the track. This is use-
ful when you want to redo a phrase that you are not satis-
fied with.
Note that it is not possible to select the 4(OVERDUB)
method for CHORD-track recording.
