Yamaha GW50 Owner's Manual - Page 94

Note: If for some reason the position indicator is not at the first 16th note in the song but instead is at some point in the middle of the measure, the chord will be properly entered at the indicated position, but the pattern will be entered at the beginning of the measure (since patterns cannot begin in the middle of a measure). The chord is entered at the selected position. The pattern is automatically entered here. Note: USE OF STARTING EVENTS AT BEGINNING OF SONG-If you intend to record Backing mute status, effect program numbers, and effect on/off events at some point in a song, you should enter starting events for these types of data as well. If no such events are recorded at the beginning of the song, the GW50 simply plays back the current settings. Thus, the start of the song (up until the properly entered data) may not sound as you expect. To record Backing mute status, effect program numbers, and effect on/off events at the start of a song: Operation - 1. Simultaneously press [SHIFT] and [SONG REC] to enable recording. 2. Make the desired settings. (Even if the current settings are the ones you wish to use, you must actually use the panel here to select them; the GW50 will not record the current set- tings of these types of events unless they are properly set from the panel.) 3. Press [START/STOP] to start re- cording. The data is automatically re- corded to the start of the song. BACKING SECTION SONG MODE 7. Enter additional data as the song plays, as described in the sections below. (Event indicator dots in the display appear at the position each time data is entered.) 8. Stop recording by pressing [START/STOP]. Note: Doing this exits the Realtime recording mode and automatically returns to the Song mode. 2) Individual Instructions on Recording Different Types of Data The sections below provide detailed instructions for recording specific events. s To record chord changes in realtime: 1. Before recording the song, go to the Pattern mode and assign the chords that you wish to record to the four available Pedal Switches. (See page 78.) 2. Return to Realtime recording, and make sure that the CHORD RECALL function is selected in the ASSIGNABLE Block, then start recording (see "REALTIME RECORDING" section steps #3 and #6 above). 3. Then, while recording the song, press the appropriate Pedal Switches at the points in the song that you want the chords to change. Since only four different chords can be assigned to the Pedal Switches and you HINT may want to record more in the song, simply repeat the operation above - this time, after assigning four new chords to the Pedal Switches - and start recording from where you left off the last time. 85 REALTIME RECORDING MODE (REALTIME RECORDING)
