Chapter 11: User Programmable Functions 160

If you're making a simple piano pattern you'll only need to record pattern(s) on

the A 8 beat row (the top row). These patterns will get chosen for every

chord, regardless of the length. But if you want the style to play different

patterns when the song is encountering chords that last 1, 2, 3, or 4 beats, you

should record separate patterns on these rows.

Recording Piano Patterns

Move to the top row of the piano area, in column 1. Press the [REC] button.

This will begin the recording of the piano pattern. You will hear a 2 bar lead-in,

and then you record a 2 bar piano pattern. For your piano pattern, you will play

a pattern based on a C7 chord. You can use all 12 notes, but should just play the

pattern as you would if the chord was a C7.

Tip: If you are uncertain what to play, press the LOAD button and edit another style that

comes with the program - you can then play the piano patterns by the pressing the PLAY

button to see what patterns we used to make it, and imitate them in your style.

After you have recorded the piano pattern, a dialog box with options will appear.

This allows you to specify the conditions that must occur for this pattern to be

played back in the song. These are called masks. Usually you can just accept

all the defaults, which allow the pattern to be played at any time.

Playback Weight Usual Setting = 5

Set this number higher/lower if you want the pattern to be played more/less
