MODES & FUNCTIONS In Song Record Mode, you can select and record a User song in step-time or real-time, by designating Preset or User patterns (complete with backings) as one-measure song "parts", and then recording chord changes at specific clock locations in the song. There are two distinct "tracks" in a song--the pattern track (for the Preset and User patterns that make up the song) and the chord track (for the backing chord changes throughout the song). Each track is independent, and any changes you make in one track will not affect the other. For example, you can insert or delete a pattern without affecting the chord track. Likewise, you can insert or delete a chord without affecting the pattern track. When constructing a song, you can take advantage of the RY9's song Sections to create a professional sounding tune that flows naturally from part to part. For example, the Preset patterns are organized in 50 music styles with "Main A", "Main B", "Fill AB" and "Fill D" Sections for each style. The Main A and/or Main B Sections would be used for the verse and chorus parts of the song. The Fill AB Section would be used as a bridge to lead the Main A part naturally into the Main B part. The Fill BA Section would be used as a bridge to lead the Main B part naturally into the Main A part. 45 If the LCD displays the words "MEMORY FULL", you cannot record a User song.
