[. . . ] If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25' cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local electrician. This product should be used only with the components supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by Yamaha. [. . . ] Realtime Recording See page 115 This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new Style from scratch. Step Recording See page 118 This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument, since you can enter each event manually. Style Assembly See page 119 This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the "70's 8Beat" Style, use the bass pattern from "60's Rock1" Style and import the chord patterns from the "Cool8Beat" Style -- combining the various elements to create one Style. 70's 8Beat Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Cool8Beat Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 60's Rock1 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 114 PSR-3500E Owner's Manual Style Creator Realtime Recording (BASIC) Create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics · 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 117) and Delete (page 116). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section "Rules when recording non-rhythm channels" (see below). To continue recording with another channel, simultaneously hold down the [F] (REC CH) button and press the appropriate [1]­[8] button to specify the channel, then play the keyboard. Stop recording by pressing the Style Control [START/STOP] button. Call up the display for selecting sections, etc. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 67). 12 13 14 15 Deleting the recorded rhythm channel (RHY 1, 2) To delete a specific instrument sound, simultaneously hold down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button (from the display where the recorded channels are shown) and press the appropriate key. CAUTION The recorded Style will be lost if you change to another Style or you turn the power off without executing the Save operation (page 67). Rules when recording non-rhythm channels · Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i. e. , C, D, E, G, A, and B). · Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i. e. , C, E, G, and B). C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes CRC CRC Any desired chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and ENDING sections. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 124. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change.
