USING THE MEMORY

The MD-1200 lets you record up to two separate songs in memory for later play- back. You can use either of two meth- ods to record a song — real-time recording (you record as you play) or step recording (you enter notes and chords one-by-one).

You can record on each of the MD- 1200’s six tracks separately. Besides notes, each track can have its own tone number. Then, when you play back the tracks together, it sounds like an entire six-piece band. Also, you can use differ- ent mixer settings for each track.

Track 1 is the main track, and you can use it to record auto accompaniment and drum pad sounds, as well as key- board play. Tracks 2 through 6 are mel- ody tracks, and you can use these for recording a secondary melody that in- cludes keyboard play and the drum pad.

Because each track is independent of the others, you only need to re-record a single track if you make a mistake while recording on it.

REAL-TIME RECORDING

With real-time recording, the notes are recorded as you play them on the key- board. Before you start, read these tips.

To record without an auto-rhythm, skip Step 5 of “Real-Time Record- ing.” Recording starts when you press a key.

To start recording with synchro start, press SYNCHRO/ENDING instead of START/STOP in Step 5 of “Real-Time Recording.” Recording starts when you play a note or a chord on the accompaniment keys.

To record using an intro, ending, or fill-in, use INTRO, SYNCHRO/END- ING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, or VARIA- TION/FILL-IN as you normally would.

To synchro start auto accompani- ment with an intro pattern, press

SYNCHRO/ENDING and then INTRO instead of START/STOP in Step 5 of “Real-Time Recording.” Recording starts with the intro pattern when you play a note or a chord on the accompaniment keys.

To start auto accompaniment during a recording, press SYNCHRO/END- ING instead of START/STOP in Step 5. Play the melody keys to start recording. When you reach the point where you want accompaniment to start, play a chord on the accompa- niment keys.

To record while using free session, between Step 4 and 5 of “Real-Time Recording,” press FREE SESSION. This makes the entire keyboard a melody keyboard, regardless of the MODE setting. See the “Free Ses- sion Chord Progression Chart” on Page 54.
