This means that you should record a Source Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. Specifically, see the rules below. • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phrase channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). C = Chord note C R C C R C C, R = Recommended note If you observe these rules, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. Rules when recording an Intro or Ending These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not observe the rules for Main and Fill-In Sections described above, and you can make the chord progression in recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 by default. • When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale. • When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C scale.  Setting the Source Root/Chord if necessary Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to any desired one in which you can play easily. Call up the "SFF Edit" display, set the Source Root and Chord to the favorite or desired Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details, refer to page 58. 3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [3/+](START/STOP) button to start recording. With the already recorded data playing back, turn each channel on or off by touching as desired.
