    recorded on a separate track, allowing you to save the
    sequence in standard MIDI File format for playback on other

    							Outline of the Composer
    The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS
    and ACCOMP1–5 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.
    Rhythm components which can be stored
    Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, ENDING 1, 2 pat-
    terns can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).
    •Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and FILL
    2.
    •A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for each
    of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.
    •The patterns in the table above can be created for each MEMORY (A, B, C).
    Memory capacity
    Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which
    can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about
    13,000. The remaining memory available for recording is
    shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).
    •When “Memory full!” appears on the display no more data
    can be stored in the COMPOSER.MEMORY
    Because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after about
    80 minutes after the power is turned off, you should save
    the data on floppy disks if you wish to keep it. (Refer to page
    99.)

    •When the root note of the specified chord is higher than
    the set pitch point, the pitch of that part is automatically
    lowered by one octave, thus avoiding an unnaturally high
    accompaniment pitch.
    •This is effective only for the part for which the Melody
    group was selected in CHORD MODIFY CHANGE.

    Adjust the range of pitch change when PITCH BEND data
    is received (0 to 12).
    
    EQ-Hi:

    							Step Record
    Use STEP RECORD to store the notes one-by-one on the display. This is a convenient way to store complicated patterns that
    are difficult to play.
    Recording procedure
    1.While you are recording, press the STEP RE-
    CORD button.
    •The display changes to the STEP RECORD display similar
    to the following.
    2.Use the CURSOR buttons to move the cursor
    to the note position you are going to store.
    •Each dot represents one-eighth of a quarter-note (a thirty-
    second note).
    •When storing triplets, it may not be possible to match the
    timing exactly with the 1/32-note steps. However, if you
    select triplet-type notes for the note length (LENGTH) in
    step 4 below, the timing is automatically corrected.
    3.Use the left LENGTH buttons to specify the
    note value you are going to store next. Select
    from 
    3, , 3, , 3, , 3, , , ,  × 2 to 4.
    (A 3 denotes a triplet-type note.)
    •For note values other than these, use the right LENGTH
    buttons to specify the note value to be added to that which
    you specified with the left buttons.
    Example: To record a dotted quarter-note (.)
               + 
    4.Use the PHRS ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify the
    actual length of the produced sound for the
    desired legato or staccato effect.
    TENU  (tenuto): Sound is produced for 95% of the
    note length.
    NORM (normal): 80%
    STAC (staccato): 50%
    CUTT (cutting): 25%
    5.Specify the pitch and velocity of the note by
    playing the keyboard.
    •The dot on the display where the note is stored changes
    to a 
    * mark.
    •When recording chords, you can store multiple notes at
    one position.
    REST:
    To store a rest, after specifying the note LENGTH,
    press the REST button.
    •Positions at which nothing is stored are read as rests.
    ERS:
    If you make a mistake, move the cursor to the error,
    and after displaying the data you wish to erase,
    press the ERS button.
    6.Repeat steps 2 through 5 to continue storing
    notes.
    •To record a different part, use the PART ∧ and ∨ buttons
    to select another part.
    •PAGE 1/2: The NOTE, VEL(OCITY), LEN(GTH), CHORD
    MODIFY and CONTROL can be revised later. Move the
    cursor to select the data you wish to revise, correct the
    value, and then press the OK button.
    •You can easily switch between the REALTIME mode and
    the STEP mode any time during recording. To return to
    the realtime recording display during the STEP RECORD
    mode, press the EXIT button.
