E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/21/97 10:13 PM ページ 131 4. Set up recording for the desired part in the RECORD page. There are eight parts available for recording: Rhythm 1 & 2, Bass, Chord 1 & 2, Pad, and Phrase 1 & 2. Record each of these one by one, listening to previously recorded parts as you continue. To do this: First, call up the RECORD page with the corresponding Menu button. Then select “REC” (Record) for the instrumental part you wish to record (with the corresponding Data Control buttons).
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/21/97 10:13 PM ページ 132 5. Select the desired Voice(s) for recording. Before you actually record any of the parts for your User Style, you should select which Voices you will use for each part. A special set of Voices are used for recording in Accompaniment Program. (For a list of the Voices available, see page 125.) To do this: First call up the VOICE page with the appropriate Menu button. Then play the keyboards and select a Voice for the part to be recorded.

Continue recording in the same fashion (steps #2 – #7 above) for the other parts of the selected section, until you’re satisfied with the new Style. Record in the same way for the other sections (Intro, Ending, etc.) of the Style as needed. For internal Styles or Styles from a SFF disk, non-rhythm parts having existing data must be deleted before they can be recorded.
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/21/97 10:13 PM ページ 135 Delete The Delete function erases all data recorded for the part. When DELETE is selected, the following prompt appears: DATA CONTROL Select “OK” to delete the part, or “Cancel” to abort the operation. 9. Once you’ve recorded your new User Style, you can edit it as needed, assign a name to it, and save it for future recall. Edit operations include Copy and Quantize (see next page) and settings for Voice, Volume, Reverb, Chorus, and Pan (see page 139).
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/22/97 1:19 PM ページ 136 Editing Recorded Parts — Copy and Quantize Copy and Quantize are convenient editing functions you can perform on recorded parts. Copy allows you to copy recorded data within a part. Quantize lets you “clean up” your recorded data, making sure that all parts are rhythmically precise and accurate. To use Copy and Quantize: 1. Call up the RECORD page (with the appropriate Menu button) and select the part to be edited by setting the desired part to REC.
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 9/8/97 4:24 PM ページ 137 Part Copy The Copy function allows you to copy the data from a specified range of measures in the part to another measure(s) in the part. DATA CONTROL To copy the data of a part: 1. Set the TOP and LAST measures. The “up” Data Control button increases the value, the “down” button decreases it. These settings determine the length of the phrase to be copied. (Phrase length is automatically limited by the actual length of the Style section itself.) 2.
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/21/97 10:13 PM ページ 138 Part Quantize The Quantize function allows you to “clean up” your recorded data, making sure that the part is rhythmically accurate.

Select the desired quantize value with the appropriate Data Control button. Aligns to the nearest quarter note. Aligns to the nearest quarter note triplet. Aligns to the nearest 8th note.
E-11a/Acc.Prog.* 8/29/97 5:14 PM ページ 139 Other Settings — Volume, Reverb, Chorus, and Pan These functions allow you to change and enhance the sound of the various parts. Each function for each part is completely independent, giving you enormous flexibility in mixing the parts. For example, you could put Reverb on one of the Rhythm parts, leave the other one “dry” with no Reverb, use Chorus to “thicken” the sound of the Pad part, and set each of the parts to different Pan positions for a wide stereo spread.

AR100E-13/Pitch Controls* 8/21/97 10:17 PM ページ 162 MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard that allows virtually all modern electronic instruments to communicate with each other and control each other’s functions. For example, you could play different sounds on a connected synthesizer from the keyboards of the AR-80. In another application, a rhythm machine can be programmed to play its rhythms in perfect synchronization with the tempo set on the Electone.
