About tracks

The recorder of the SP-500 consists of three tracks that independently record speciﬁc functions (“KBD,” “Control,” and “Chord”) and ﬁve tracks for multi-track recording. Each of these tracks can be independently set to “Rec” (record), “Play” (playback), or “Mute” (muted).

If any track is set to “Rec,” the [RECORD] switch will blink.

Tracks “1”–“5”cannot be set to “Mute.”

“Rec 1/3” page

“KBD”: The track that records the performance you play on the keyboard

“Control”: The track that records controllers and panel operations such as auto- matic accompaniment ﬁlls and functions

“Chord”: The track that records the chord progression of the rhythm style

When the “KBD,” “Control,” or “Chord” track are set to “Mute,” that track will not play back.
