When this parameter and the assigned value is in small caps (cv1 … cv6),
the Chord Variation is empty; when it is in all caps (CV1 … CV6) it is already
recorded.

Adjusting the total Chord Variation length
▪
Use the
CV Length
(Chord Variation Length) parameter to set the length of
the Chord Variation (in measures).
The overall length of the selected Chord Variation can be 32 measures. When
playing a Style or Pad, this will be the overall length of the musical sequence,
when the corresponding chord is recognized on the keyboard.
Be careful not to decrease the Chord Variation length after recording, or any
measure after the selected length will be deleted. If it happens accidentally,
we suggest to exit from record without saving.
Adjusting the track’s recording length
▪
Use the
Rec Length
(Recording Length) parameter to set the length (in mea-
sures) of the selected track (the one with the Record icon ( ).
The value of this parameter is always equal to, or a divider of, the Chord
Variation Length.
This is not the total length of the Chord Variation, just that of the current
track. For example, you may want to record a Chord Variation eight mea-
sures long, with a drum pattern repeating every two measures. If so, set
the
CV Length
parameter to 8, and the
Rec Length
parameter to 2 before
starting to record the Drum track. When playing back the Style, saving it or
executing any edit operation on the Style, the 2-measures pattern will be
extended to the full 8-measures length of the Chord Variation.
If you assign to
CV Length
a value lower than
Rec Length
, the value of
Rec
Length
is not immediately updated in the display. Therefore, you are still
free of changing the value of
CV Length
, before the measures exceeding its
value are deleted.
However, when you start recording the real
Rec Length
value is changed to
the new one, even if the display still shows the old value.
