You will hear the recorded performance.

Once again press the [ (Play)] button, and playback will stop.

NOTE

If you layer a newly recorded performance without erasing the recorded song, the song tempo and beat will be stored with the settings that were recorded first.

NOTE

A performance that was recorded without using rhythm cannot be played back with the rhythm.

If you want to record along with the rhythm, refer to p. 29.

About the “USr” display

When you stop recording, the

“ ” display will change

to “

”.

The “.” in the lower right of the display indicates that there is already a recorded performance.

If you record without specifying the recording track, the performance will be recorded to the [1] button.

If you want to record the right and left hands separately on separate recording tracks, refer to “Selecting and Recording the Track for Each Hand Separately” (p. 31).
