Recording a User Style is easy.

lect a free location (User) to create a new
Style.
2. You are prompted to create a new style.
3. Press OK, (F1).
The Style «Record View» page activates with
a superimposed «Select Riff» dialog window:
4. Select the Variation, (VAR. 1, VAR. 2, VAR.
3, VAR. 4), section, (BASIC, FILL, INTRO,
ENDING) and chord, (MAJOR, MINOR, 7TH)
with the cursor buttons and press ENTER to
confirm.
The LED on the RECORD button lights up
and the «Record View» page is shown in
negative highlight.
5. Select the track, usually the Drum track first,
that you want to record.
Press the corresponding Soft button to place
the track in Record mode (Record icon show-

will capture events during the recording.
6. Press START/STOP to start the recording.
A one-measure countdown will start (shown

with the soft button F8.
7. Start playing after the lead-in.
The recording proceeds in a cyclic manner:
once the end of the riff is reached, the re-
cording starts again from the beginning. The
number of bars recorded will depend on the
setting in the initial RecView display, in the
Measures parameter (in this case 2).
8. When you have finished recording the first
track, stop the recording with START/STOP.
The Track will still be in record mode, allow-
ing you to add new events by starting again
with Start/Stop. The default setting of the
Record mode will be Overdubb. Other record
mode settings can be selected (explained
afterwards). Stop the recording of additional
note with Start/Stop.
