This means that you should record a Source Pattern using a CM7 scale, which will change according to the chords you specify during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. See below for details. • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phr (Phrase) channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the Chd (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 this rule, 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 rule for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create special chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. • 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. 30 DGX-670 Reference Manual
