• Formulas entered with the FAST method are saved for
each project. If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 - 3 to
call up the formulas, edit numbers or formulas, and write
the song again.
• When you edit a song, the entire rhythm song is written
again. Writing only a partial song or editing the contents is
not possible.
• There is no difference in the completed rhythm song due
to input method that was used, i.e. a song will be the
same, regardless of whether it was created using step
input or the FAST method. A song written with the FAST
method can therefore be edited using step input.

Inputting root/chord data
This section explains 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, the bass phrase
will be converted according to the type of chord you specify.
