Record the melody using realtime recording

Here’s how to realtime record a melody using the “PR-A:001 64voice Piano” which is assigned to Part 1 of a Performance.

<Procedure>

Press [REC] to call up the Realtime Rec Stand-by display (SEQ).

Return the song to the measure 1. To do this, press [u] or [d] to move the cursor to “M,” then turn the VALUE dial counterclockwise or press [DEC] to set 1.

Press [LOOP] to turn the indicator off.

This turns off the Loop function. As repeated recording is not needed for recording a melody, you should turn this off.

Press [d] to move the cursor to “Mode,” then set the recording mode to REPLACE, by turning the VALUE dial counterclockwise or pressing [DEC].

Select REPLACE because you won’t be mix recording.
