The Custom Accompaniment Programmer
If you want to create a totally new rhythm track, press the RHYTHM
track button while holding the [DELETE] button. This cancels all the in-
struments 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 “1. CUSTOM ACCOMP.
Measure/Beat” on page 19), and the pattern will continue to repeat so you
can add new instruments during each repeat, if necessary.
To Cancel A Single Percussion Instrument
Although you can cancel all instruments in the RHYTHM track by pressing
the RHYTHM track button while holding the [DELETE] button, it is also
possible to cancel a single instrument to eradicate a mistake or simply
eliminate an unwanted instrument. While holding the CANCEL key (the
highest key on the PSR-5700 keyboard), press the percussion key corre-
sponding to the instrument you want to cancel. The selected instrument
should now be cleared from the pattern.
If you can’t cancel an instrument even after following the above procedure,
switch to VOICE SELECT number 8 or 9 and try again.
To Add Accents
To accent specific beats after recording the rhythm, press the accent key
(the second to highest key on the keyboard, with the “>” symbol) at the
timing of beats you want to accent.
After the RHYTHM track has been programmed (or it can be left as it is
if no changes are required), you can select a bass or chord track for pro-
gramming by pressing the BASS or a CHORD track button while holding
the [RECORD] button (tracks containing preset data cannot be selected for
recording). The RHYTHM track will automatically switch to the PLAY
mode when a new REC track is specified. Please remember that only one
track can be programmed at a time.
