Here's how to add chord data to the rhythm song that you
created by inputting rhythm pattern data.
Chord data consists of a "ROOT" that specifies the root
(C, C#, D ...B) of the chord, and "CHORD" that specifies
the type of chord (major or minor, etc.).
The bass phrase of the rhythm pattern will be transposed
according to the root that you input. Also, part of the
bass phrase will be converted according to the type of
chord you specify.

When inputting chord data into the rhythm song, you will
specify the chord root (C – B) and chord type (major or
minor, etc.) separately. When "ROOT" is displayed, you
can specify the root of the chord.
Chord data is input at locations where a rhythm pattern has
been input, as in the illustration above. The default root and
type for chord data is as follows.
Root:
the root of the chord specified for the rhythm
pattern
Type:
"--" (no conversion)
For details on rhythm pattern chords, refer to p.69.
