Using the Pattern SequencerE-118■ BreakPoint (Break Point)This parameter specifies the key, from C to B, that is the pointat which Auto Accompaniment bass and chord notes drop oneoctave.For example when F is specified as the break point, a C majorchord recorded as C3E3G3 (CEG) becomes D3F # 3A3 (DF# Araised one note each) when D is fingered on the chordkeyboard, E3G # 3B3 (EG # B raised one note each) when E isfingered, and F2A2C3 (FAC dropped one octave) when F isfingered.■ Invert (Inversion)This parameter specifies whether or not chords during AutoAccompaniment play should mirror inverted forms of theoriginal chord (EGC and GCE for CEG).For example, let’s say that the original recorded C majorchord is CEG and an F chord is fingered on the chordkeyboard. If “oFF” is selected for this setting, the chord will bedirectly converted to FAC. If “on” (or “7th”) is selected, thechord will be converted to CFA, which is the inverted form thatis nearest to CEG. The transition of chord notes duringplayback when “on” (or “7th”) is selected is smaller, soaccompaniment sounds more natural.Note that you should select “7th” in place of “on” only if “C7”was specified for the “PlayChord” setting when recording theaccompaniment pattern and if you selected “09 (Chord 7th)”for the chord conversion table.* “PlayChord” is a rec menu setting. For details, see “Toconfigure pattern rec settings (Rec Menu)” (page E-106).• When selecting “on” (or “7th”) for this setting, make surethat you select “C” for the “BreakPoint” (Break Point)setting.■ Retrigger (Retrigger)This parameter specifies how accompaniment pattern play isaffected by a chord change that occurs part way through apattern.When “on” is selected, the pattern “retriggers,” which causesthe currently playing note to change to the corresponding noteof the newly fingered chord. When “oFF” is selected, a chordchange causes the currently sounding note to be cut off, andthe next note of the pattern of the newly fingered chord to beplayed.■ BendRange (Bend Range)This parameter specifies the bend range for pitch benderoperation in semitone steps1. While the pattern sequencer screen isdisplayed, use buttons L-13 (INTRO) throughL-16 (SYNCHRO/ENDING) to select theaccompaniment pattern you want.• The rec areas of the instrument parts included in theaccompaniment pattern you select here are the onesthat can be cleared by this procedure.• If you select an INTRO or ENDING, the following stepscan be performed only when all parts are in rec areas(“Recorded Data” or “Empty” part status).2. While holding down the R-13 (FUNCTION)button, press the C-4 (EDIT) button to displaythe edit menu.3. Use the R-17 (t, y) buttons to move the 0 to“PartEdit” and then press the R-16 (ENTER)button.• This displays the “Part Edit” screen.4. The 0 should be next to “Clear”, so press theR-16 (ENTER) button.• This displays the “Clear Part” screen.5. Use the R-17 (u, i) buttons to specify theinstrument part you want to clear from the recarea then press the R-16 (ENTER) button.6. In response to the “Sure?” message thatappears, press the R-14 (YES) button to claer orthe R-14 (NO) button to cancel.• Pressing the R-14 (YES) button changes the status ofthe instrument part you specified in step 5 to “Empty”.Instrument Part OperationsTo clear a rec area of an instrument part
