Setting the Record parameters
When you enter Backing Sequence Record, the latest selected Style and Sounds are already selected,
and all tracks are ready to record. You could simply start recording as if you were playing in realtime
with the Styles. However, there are some further settings that you may want to do.
• If you like, adjust any editable parameter in the display.
Recording
1 Select the Style Element you wish to use before starting to play.
2 Start recording, by pressing the START/STOP button.
Note: If you do not wish
to start the Song with the
Style already playing, you
can simply start recording by
pressing the PLAY/
STOP button in the PLAYER 1
section, then start the Style
only at a later time. The Style
will start at the beginning of
the following measure.

During recording, select any Style Element (Intro, Variation, Break, Ending…) you like. You can
also press START/STOP to stop the Style, and press it again to start the Style again!
