■Recording Selected Track buttons

FP-5’s Recorder has three Track buttons.

When you press the [Rec] button, all Track buttons are set to be recorded, but by selecting Track buttons that are not to be recorded, you can then record only on the specific Track buttons you want.

For example, you can record each hand’s performance to different Track buttons, or record over only certain Track buttons in a previously recorded performance.

set tones and Session

Partner sounds can be

recorded to the [Drums (R)]

button.

1. While holding down the [Rec] button, and turn off the

indicator light for the Track button, whether the [Drums (R)], [Bass (1)], or [Chord (2)] button, for any track not to be recorded.

The [Rec] button’s indicator lights up, the [Play/Stop] button’s indicator flashes, and the FP-5 is put into recording standby.

With the FP-5 in standby, go on to record the performance according to the procedures as described in “Recording a Performance” (p. 38), “Recording a Performance Using Session Partner” (p. 39), starting from Step 3.

The performance is not recorded only to the Track buttons whose indicator was turned off.

Recording along with internal songs

You can also record your own performance as you play along with the internal piano songs.

When recording to specific Track buttons, the sounds on the selected Track buttons are not played. For example, you can record what you are playing with your right hand as you listen to the left-hand part.

1. With the [Song], [-] and [+] buttons select the song.

2. Hold down the [Rec] button and turn off the indicator light for the track button of the track you intend not to play yourself.

The [Rec] button’s indicator lights up, the [Play/Stop] button’s indicator

flashes, and the FP-5 is put into recording standby.

3. Press the [Play/Stop] button to start recording.

4. Press the [Rec] or [Play/Stop] button to stop recording.
