When you record on a track that
already contains data, the keyboard
automatically locates the end of the
previous recording — measure,
beat, or clock (
1
/
48
of a beat) — and
adds your new entry to it.
You can enter a 0 (a rest) in Step 6,
but the rest is ignored when the
accompaniment plays.
The rhythm number and
INTRO
,
SYNCHRO/ENDING
,
NORMAL/FILL-

opera-
tions are stored on Track 1, along
with the notes you played.
See “Recording Multiple Tracks” on
Page 31 to record on the other five
tracks.
Specifying Chords in the
Normal Mode
To enter chords when
MODE
is set to
NORMAL
during step recording, you
must specify them using a method other
than Concert Chord or Fingered. That
way, you can enter 18 chord types using
only two keys.
While holding down the desired chord
root key, press the chord key to specify
the chord.
The root and chord types are labeled
above each key. The chord root letter
and type of chord also appear as you
play a chord.
Specifying the Length of a Note
During step recording, use the number
buttons (or
+
or

of each note.
Use numbers
1
through
6
to specify
whole notes (
1
), half notes (
2
), quarter
notes (
3
), eighth notes (
4
), 16th notes
(
5
), and 32nd notes (
