If you want to cancel the recording, then press the [Rec] button once more to make the indicator dark.

If you wish to stop the metronome, press the Metronome [On/Off] button to make the indicator go dark.

In the beginning it is probably a good idea to listen to the metronome as you record. The sound of the metronome is not recorded.

Recording will begin when you play a note on the keyboard.

The [Play] button indicator will change from blinking to lit.

Instead of playing the keyboard, you can also begin recording by pressing the [Play] button to make the indicator light. In this case, you will hear a two-measure count before recording begins.

Listen to the metronome, and play along with the tempo.

7. When you are finished recording, press the [Play] button to make the indicator go dark.
