Recorded Styles can be played in the same manner as the preset Styles. Style Structure Style data consists of 14 sections, each of which has eight separate Parts. FILL IN A­D INTRO 1­3 MAIN A­D ENDING 1­3 8 Parts in each section Parts: Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, Bass, Chord 1, Chord 2, Pad, Phrase 1, Phrase 2 Part 1 x8 With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the parts, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Here are some of the aspects in which Style recording differs from Song recording: · Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a "loop, " and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. · Overdub Recording This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 39) and Part Clear (page 41). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. Use the dial to select [Current] in the display. NOTE · If the measure length differs between the copy source and copy destination sections, the copy source measure will be used. If the beats differ, the copy destination beats will be used. Source Style 5 Press the [EXECUTE] button to set the source Style. Now you can select a source section. Source section 6 7 8 Rotate the dial to select a source section.

NOTE · Depending on the data size of source and destination sections, the source section may not be copied to the destination properly because of insufficient memory. In this case, some parts in the source section may be copied and other parts may not.
