Creating and Editing Songs
You can enter a chord progression and choose the places where the
accompaniment pattern will change to create an accompaniment
for a song. This feature is called “Chord Sequencer.”
Thanks to the chord sequencer, you can create an accompaniment
ahead of time and play along with your right hand.
1. Press the [Menu] button so its indicator is lit.
2. Touch <Song Creation>.
3. Touch <Chord Seq.>.
The Chord Sequencer screen appears.
4. Press a Music Style button or the touch screen to select a
Music Style (p. 59).
5. Press the [Exit] button.
You are returned to the Chord Sequencer screen.
6. Enter the chord progression and the accompaniment
pattern.
Refer to “Inputting Chords with the Chord Sequencer.”
7. When you have finished inputting all the data, touch
<Execute>.
When storage of the data is complete, return to the Song Creation
screen.
Now, press the [ (Play/Stop)] button, and try playing the
melody along with the accompaniment you created.
Songs you’ve created are discarded as soon as you turn off the
power. If you do not want to delete the song, save it to an
external memory or to user memory. Refer to “Saving Songs”
(p. 134).
Inputting Chords with the Chord Sequencer
1. Use the [Value] dial to move the cursor to the input
position.
Use the [ (Prev)] and [ (Next)] buttons to move the cursor
one measure at a time.
2. Enter the chord progression and the changes in the
accompaniment pattern and arrangement.
Just as when performing with automatic accompaniment, press the
keys to specify a chord, and press a button to select the
accompaniment pattern (p. 66).
3. Touch <Ins> once to insert one measure before the
measure where the cursor is currently positioned.
If you touch <Del>, the measure where the cursor is currently
positioned is deleted, while the measures that follow are moved
forward.
To remove what you have input, move the cursor to the position
with input you want to delete, then touch <Clear>. This deletes the
entered setting.
• You can only insert an intro at the beginning of a song. When you
add an intro, the number of bars corresponding to the length of the
intro is inserted automatically.
• An ending can be inserted only at the end of the song. Once you
insert an ending, no further measures can be added.
