Pressing FREE SESSION while recording with a free session accompaniment turns off the accom- paniment; however, the keyboard continues playing the last chord played before FREE SESSION was turned off. You can change the chord by specifying a different one using the appropriate method (Fin- gered, Concert Chord, etc.) as determined by the MODE setting.

Follow these steps to record as you play.

1.Repeatedly press MEMORY until Rec. No. appears.

Note: MEMORY is a three-way switch. When you press it once, the keyboard enters the memory play- back mode. When you press it again, it enters the memory record mode. When you press the button a third time, it turns off the memory function.

2.Within 5 seconds, press + or (or 0 or 1) to select a song number.

3.Press CHORD/1 to select Track 1.

While the keyboard is in memory record mode, the level meters for channels 11 through 16 correspond

to memory tracks 1 through 6. When all four bars are lit, that channel has something in memory: if only one bar is lit, that track is empty.

4.If desired, you can change these settings:

tone number

rhythm number

tempo

MODE

Note: Do not change the tempo unless you already know the desired tempo. Pressing START/STOP to hear the tempo causes recording to begin.

5.Press START/STOP to start record- ing.

6.Play the keyboard.

You can also record auto accompa- niment chords, the drum pad, pitch bender, and pedal operations.

7.Press START/STOP to end record- ing.

If you make a mistake, press START/ STOP to stop recording and begin again from Step 1, or you can edit the con- tents. See “Editing Memory Contents” on Page 39.
