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, FILL IN
1, 2 patterns 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 avail-
able for each of the INTRO and ENDING 1
and 2.
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 mem-
ory 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 COM-
POSER.




 
MEMORY
Because the contents of the MEMORY are
erased after the power is turned off, you should
save the data on disks/SD cards if you wish to
keep it. (Refer to pages 125, 140.)
