C Select an Accompaniment Variation ......................................................................................................................
Use the [VERSE 1], [VERSE 2], [CHORUS 1],
[CHORUS 2], and [SOLO] buttons to select the
accompaniment variation you want to program (vari-
ations cannot be selected when a custom style is
selected).
Intro, fill-in, and ending patterns will be based
on the selected variation. If you delete all existing
data to program an accompaniment from scratch,
and change the time signature (beat), the intro, fill-
in, and ending patterns cannot be used.
NOTES
• You could select a “section” — INTRO, FILL-IN, or
ENDING — at this point instead of a variation. See
“CREATING INTRO, FILL-IN, AND ENDING PAT-
TERNS” on page 66.
V Program the Rhythm Track ...............................................................................................................................................
Since the RHYTHM track is initially set to the
REC mode and the Drum Kit voice is selected
automatically, you can start programming the
RHYTHM track immediately. You could also select
the POP DRUM KIT voice using the normal voice
selection procedure, and/or set a comfortable re-
cording tempo before you actually start recording.
You can add new notes to the rhythm by playing
the keys corresponding to the PSR-6000 drums and
percussion instruments. The drums and percussion
instruments produced are indicated by the symbols
immediately above the keys (see the “Keyboard
Percussion List” on page 118). Please note that pitch
bend can not be applied to the rhythm instruments.
If you want to create a totally new rhythm track,
press the [RHYTHM] track button while holding
the [DELETE] button. This cancels all the instru-
ments in the original rhythm track, leaving only a
metronome sound (the metronome sound will not be
heard while the rhythm is playing). The rhythm
pattern can be up to 8 measures long (see “RECORD
— MEASURE/BEAT” on page 69), and the pattern
will continue to repeat so you can add new instru-
ments during each repeat, if necessary.
