Style Recording The PSR-540 lets you record up to three original User styles which can be used for auto accompaniment in the same way as the preset styles. User Style data can also be saved to and loaded from floppy disk (page 57). You can create a User style by using the internal style data as a starting point. Select a preset style that is closest to the type of style you want to create, and record the auto accompaniment patterns to each section. The PSR-540 provides two basic ways to record styles: • Style Recording - Rhythm Track page 98 • Style Recording - Bass/Phrase/Pad/Chord Tracks page 100 The four editing features below allow you to edit already recorded style data. • Quantize ...page 102 This function aligns the timing of the recorded note data to a specified value. • Naming User Styles ...page 104 This function lets you name your original styles. • Clearing User Style Data page 104 This function is for clearing (deleting) or part of the recorded style. s User Style Tracks The tracks which can be recorded to the User styles are organized as shown in the chart below.

Only one event of the item marked with * can be recorded for each track of the sections. • Material recorded data is retained in memory even when the STANDBY switch is turned off if batteries are installed or an AC adaptor is connected (page 135). It is nevertheless a good idea to save important data to floppy disk so that you can keep them indefinitely and build up your own data library (page 60). • User Style data is recorded by playing voice R1 from the keyboard. Voice R2, voice L and the auto accompaniment cannot be used. 96 94
