Recording Chords with Step Record-
ing
With step recording, you can record a chord progression in Track 1
chord-by-chord. You can then use the chord progression as an Auto
Accompaniment or later add melody notes to Track 2.
To record chords to Track 1 using step recording
1. Use the MEMORY button to enter record standby, and
then use [+] and [–] to select 0 or 1 as the song num-
ber.
2. Press the LEFT/TRACK 1 button to select Track 1.
3. Press the STEP button.
4. Make any of the following settings if you want.
• Rhythm number (page E-16)
• MODE switch (page E-16)
5. Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button.
6. Play a chord.
• Use the chord play method that is specified by the current
MODE switch setting: FINGERED, CASIO CHORD, NOR-
MAL.
• When the MODE switch is set to NORMAL, specify the chord
using the root input keyboard and chord type input key-
board. See “Specifying Chords in the Normal Mode” on this
page for details.

NOTES

• You can use the FF and REW buttons to change the current input posi-
tion during step recording. See “Editing Data While Step Recording” on
page E-30 for details.
• Pressing the [0] button in step 7 inputs a rest. Note, however, that any
rests you input do not have any effect on Auto Accompaniment.
Track 1 Contents After Step Recording
In addition to chords, the following data is also recorded to Track 1
during step recording.
• Tone number
• Rhythm number (step 4)
• INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/
FILL-IN button operations (step 6)
Specifying Chords in the Normal Mode
When the MODE switch is set to NORMAL during step recording,
you can specify chords using a method that is different from CASIO
Chord and Fingered fingerings. This chord specification method can
be used to input 18 different chord types using only two keyboard
keys, so chords can be specified even if you don’t know how to actu-
ally play them.
