Chord Step Recording
The CHORD STEP recording feature makes it possible to record accompaniment chord changes one at a time
with precise timing. Since the changes don’t have to entered in real time, it is easy to create even complex
accompaniments before recording the melody.
Select the CHORD STEP display via the [ ] or [ ] LCD button to the right of the display.

Select an Entry Point
...............................................................................................................................................................
Use the < > CURSOR < > LCD [▲/▼] controls
to position the cursor at the measure and beat at
which you want to enter a chord or other accompa-
niment event. The large < > controls move the
cursor in 1-measure steps while the small
< >
controls position the cursor in the smallest incre-
ment allowed for the current style. Measure num-
bers appear above each measure division on the
“data line”, and the smaller division represent the
smallest increment available for the current style.
The measure numbers will scroll accordingly when
the cursor is moved past the last or first measure on
the display (but not backwards past measure 1).
