Song Memory Capacity
Song Memory can hold a total of approximately 13,000 notes, which can be divided between a lesson recording and a performance recording. Note that you can use up all 13,000 notes for either the lesson recording or the performance recording. If you do, you will not be able to record anything for the other type of recording.
•When the number of remaining notes becomes less than about 100 while you are recording, the SONG MEMORY indicator and the track/part indicator (L, R) will start to flash at high speed.
•Recording will stop automatically if Song Memory becomes full.
If you are using Auto Accompaniment or a rhythm, they will also stop playing at this time.
IMPORTANT!
•Never turn off the keyboard while it is recording or standing by for recording to Song Memory. Doing so will cause all of the song data currently stored in the SONGS user area to be deleted.
