Since the changes don't have to be played in real time, you can easily create complex, tight chord changes -- over which you can record the melody in normal fashion. The operations here apply to step 6 on page 99. Entering Chords and Sections (Chord Step) For example, you can input the following chord progression by the procedure described below. MAIN A BREAK MAIN B Enter the chords by using the currently selected chord fingering method in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.

After the operation is completed, this button changes to [UNDO], letting you restore the original data if you're not satisfied with the Quantize results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. D I Calls up the SONG display, from which you can save the edited data. Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats only by the specified amount. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the "human" feel in the recording. E J 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Selects the desired channel to be quantized. Selects the quantize size (resolution). See the below for the details. About Quantize Size Set the Quantize size to correspond to the smallest notes in the channel you are working with. For example, if the data was recorded with both quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 note for the Quantize size. If you apply a 1/4 note Quantize size, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes. One measure of eighth notes before quantization After 1/8 note quantization Quantize Size 1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/16 note + 1/8 note triplet * 1/16 note + 1/16 note triplet * 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note triplet 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet * The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time, without compromising the quantization of either one. For example, if you have both straight 1/8 notes and 1/8 note triplets recorded to the same channel, and you quantize to straight 1/8 notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight 1/8 notes -- completely eliminating any triplet feel in the rhythm. However, if you use the 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. 104 CVP-7 Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs-- Song Creator Delete This lets you delete recorded data in the specified channel. Use these to select the desired edit operation. A F B G C H Deletes all data in the selected channel.
