Recording and Playing Back a Chord Sequence—Chord Looper
While playing back a Style, you usually specify chords with your left hand. However, with the convenient Chord Looper function,
you can record a sequence of the chords and play it back in a loop. For example, if you record a “C à F à G à C” chord
progression, Style playback will continue automatically with the chords “C à F à G à C à C à F à G à C à ...” Since the chords
play back in a loop, you don’t need to repeat the chord pattern manually anymore—letting you focus on your performance and
other operations.
