Record a new song
To record a new Song and cancel the old, simply press the [RECORD] button and
the buttons you want to record.
For example, if the ACCOMP and MELODY 1 buttons already contain recorded notes
(LEDs on), press the [RECORD] button, then press the [ACCOMP] and [MELODY
1] buttons. All the LEDs start to flash indicating that the sequencer is set to record
mode.
Proceed to record your new song using the method already described. The old song
is overwritten (cancelled) by the new one.
If you press [PLAY/STOP] when the sequencer contains no recorded notes, the
display flashes a large black dot above the Tempo reading to indicate that no re-
corded notes are present in memory.
Panel Reset - Restore Sequencer
You can cancel a recorded sequence in a single step using the PANEL RESET pro-
cedure. Refer to the “PANEL RESET” operation described on page 18.
The Metronome
At any time, you can activate the METRONOME for practising purposes.
To play with the Metronome, press the [STYLE] button and insert the value “00” on
the numeric keypad (press the “0” button twice).
Press the [START/STOP] button to start the Metronome.
The Metronome starts beating time with a ‘tick’ and an animated Metronome icon is
shown in the display.
If you select the Metronome while you are playing a Style, the auto accompaniment
stops and the Metronome takes over as the provider of the beat.
The Metronome is useful to practice keeping time or when you have to practice a
study piece.
To stop the Metronome tick, press the [START/STOP] button.
The Beat function
The BEAT function allows you to set a time signature (number of beats in a meas-
ure) for the Metronome. The factory setting corresponds to 4 beats for every meas-
ure.
If you press the [BEAT] button, the display shows the factory setting (in the exam-
ple, “4”).
Press the [BEAT] button repeatedly to scroll to the required Beat number.
For example, if you want to practice a piece with a time signature of 5/4, assign the
number 5 to the BEAT function.
The BEAT values range from 0 - 9.
