Use the cursor left/right keys to cause the
counter indication to flash. Then use the dial

By pressing the PLAY [
R] key at this point, you can check out
the editing result.

Recording starts with the pitch compensation applied. If you
have selected “Bass Seq” in step 2, you can check the bass
track signal level at the “RHYTHM” position on the level
meter.
By using the cursor left/right keys during recording, you can
call up and edit the Key, Scale, and Speed parameters. If you
press the [SHIFT] key, the pitch compensation effect is
bypassed. This will also be reflected in the recording.

When recording has progressed to the point
where you want pitch compensation to stop,
press the STOP [ P ] key.
The indication “Fix?” appears on the second line of the display.
9.
To carry out pitch compensation, press the
[ENTER] key.
The audio data of the specified range are overwritten, and the
unit returns to the track edit menu.
By pressing the [EXIT] key instead of the [ENTER] key, you
can cancel the operation and back up one step at a time.
You can use chord information programmed in the rhythm
pattern/rhythm song to shift the pitch of the audio data and
create a 3-part harmony (chord root/third/fifth).
Whether the rhythm pattern or rhythm song is used as source
of chord information depends on the mode selected for the
rhythm section (rhythm pattern mode or rhythm section mode).
The pitch-shifted audio data can be either added to the source
material or written to another track/V-take.
For example, when G Major
→ C Major → D Major are
programmed in a rhythm song, the following harmony is
created.
HINT
• Depending on the pitch of the source material and the rhythm
pattern/rhythm song setting, the results of this command may
be unpredictable.
• When generating harmony using the rhythm song, chords must
be programmed for the rhythm song beforehand.
• When “-- (no conversion)” is programmed as chord type in the
rhythm song, no harmony can be created at this point.
• When generating harmony using chord information of the
rhythm pattern, the harmony is created for the same chord
throughout.
NOTE
• When the rhythm pattern/rhythm song is “Empty”, the harmony
create function is not available.
• For the harmony create function to work properly, the audio data
should represent single notes recorded without applying delay,
reverb, chorus, or other effects.
