Step Recording a Backing Sequence Song |295
Event type Meaning
Style Element This is the Style Element (i.e., a Variation, Fill, Intro, or Ending).
The length of the selected Style Element is always shown by the
“Length” parameter (see below).
“Off ” means that the accompaniment will not play at the selected
position – only Keyboard and Pad tracks will play.
Hint: Insert a Style Element Off event exactly where the automatic
accompaniment must stop (at the end of the Song).
Length This parameter will let you know where to place the following Style
Element Change. For example, if you inserted an Intro event last-
ing for 4 measures, you can insert 4 empty measure after this
event, and a Variation event at the end of the Intro, beginning at
the 4th empty measure.
Inserting measures
▪ Choose the Insert Measures command from the page menu, to insert an
empty measure starting from the current measure.
All Ch/Acc events contained in the current measure will be moved to the fol-
lowing measure. The event at the Mxxx.01.000 position (i.e., exactly at the
beginning of the measure, like a Time Signature or Style change) will not be
moved.
Cutting out measures
▪ Choose the Cut Measure command from the page menu, to delete the cur-
rent measure.
All Ch/Acc event contained in the following measures will be moved one
measure back.
Deleting everything from the current position
▪ Choose the Delete All from Selected command from the page menu, to de-
lete events of all types, starting from the current position.
The events on the very first tick (M001.01.000), like Perf, Style, Tempo,
Chord, Style Element selection, will not be deleted, since they are the setting
parameters of the Song.
