On step 2 I don’t see a record button and when I use ‘rec mode’ it doesn’t show a ‘chord’ setting

I've gotten far enough to see a screen that allows for changing the chord sequence. It shows 4 chords but doesn't seem to allow me to create an additional one. Very manual it seems and possibly only 4 chords are allowed. I can live with that and just use more than one pad I suppose. I'm going to spend a bit more time fiddling with it today as this was one of the things that led me to the MZ-X500.
Kind of a shame that the 'tutorial' manual is not much in the way of actual tutoring, more just some examples that are minimally explained.
A doable alternative could be to create a backing set of chords and styles and play along with that, in the end that might be easier and less cumbersome to do.

I beginning to feel like an idiot! I want to set a 6 chord sequence into one pad of varying bar lengths so I can have the keyboard play the chord sequence while I concentrate on doing more with both hands free for counter melody and so forth. So far I keep going in circles and neither the owners nor tutorial are helping much.
Assume I have not clue, what are the steps to do this? And how do you get it to play with a rhythm with the whole keyboard doing other things?
thanks

I don’t know if that is the right question. Long time users would be less likely to need tutorials, but newbies like me sure could use them a lot. And the lack of them could very well keep solid sales of them from happening since they are as much about marketing as they are tutorials.

I just ordered a MX-X500 and am new to this forum. Supposed to be here tomorrow. Oddly it was suggested in a Korg forum.
When I was looking for something new to twiddle with I had not even given Casios a passing nod as I didn't think they did anything but toy keyboards. It was only thanks to that suggestion that I even looked. And that, frankly is a shame. Couple that with the paucity of tutorials in English and little marketing from Casio and it is a wonder they sell them at all.
I'm looking forward to getting it to add to my slowly growing musical things.

Using the pads for chord sequence
in MZ-X500 / MZ-X300

I added one more step prior to saving this to a registration button. I set keyboard split to below the keyboard using the up/down arrow, that way I have all 61 keys free to do anything I want to.
