Select the desired Voice(s) for recording.

Before you actually record any of the parts for your User Style, you should select which Voices you will
use for each part. A special set of Voices are used for recording in Accompaniment Program. (For a list
of the Voices available, see page 125.)

To do this:

First call up the VOICE page with the appropriate Menu button. Then play the keyboards and
select a Voice for the part to be recorded.

Set the tempo for recording.

Use the TEMPO controls to set the tempo (or speed) for recording.

Only drum Voices are available
for the Rhythm parts. All other
Voices (except drums) are
available for the other parts.

If you wish, you can set a
different tempo each time you
record a part. For example, you
could set a relatively fast
recording tempo for parts that
are easy to play, and set a slow
tempo for parts that are more
difficult to play. (However,
make sure to set a final tempo
just before saving your User
Style.)

• The advantage of having two separate Rhythm, Chord, and Phrase parts is each
part can be assigned a different Voice. For example, you can use an electronic
drum kit for the main rhythm in Rhythm 1, yet still have some standard drum
sounds by assigning “Stand Kit” to Rhythm 2.
• You can also make Volume, Reverb, Chorus, and Pan settings for the various
parts at this point, before recording — or change them later, after all parts have
been recorded. (See page 139.)
