The built-in Song Sequencer lets you record up to two separate songs in memory for later playback.

Songs and Tracks

The Song Sequencer records and plays back much like a standard tape recorder. You can have up to two separate, independent songs in Song Sequencer memory at the same time.

Each song is make up of a total of six tracks, each of which can be recorded separately. Then when you play back the tracks together, it sounds like an entire group of musicians, each playing a different part.

As shown in the illustration above, you add tracks one-by-one while listening to the tracks you recorded previously.

❚ NOTES ❚

•With this keyboard, Track 1 can be used to record keyboard play and Auto Accompaniment. Tracks 2 through 6 can be used for keyboard play only, so they are called melody tracks. As shown in the illustration above, you record Tracks 2 through 6 while listening to what you have already recorded up to that point.

•Note that each track is independent of the others. This means that even if you make a mistake while recording, you only need to re-record the track where the mistake was made.

•Tone settings can be changed during recording, and each tone change is recorded in the applicable track. This means you can have up to six different instrument parts in one song.

Recording

There are two methods you can use to record with the Song Sequenc- er: real-time recording and punch-in recording.

Real-time Recording

With this method, notes are recorded as you play them on the key- board.

Punch-in Recording

This method lets you re-record from a specific section of a song that is already in memory. You can use punch-in recording to correct mistakes you made during real-time recording.

Global Settings and Operations

A global setting or operation is one that affects all the tracks that make up a song. The following is a list of the global settings and opera- tions.

•Metronome setting

•Song delete

•Meter setting

•Initial tempo value

•Quantize setting after recording

See “Global Settings and Operations” on page E-45 for full details on what each setting and operation does, and how to use them.

Song Sequencer Data

The type of data that is stored by the Song Sequencer during a recording operation depends on whether you are using real-time recording or punch-in recording. The same type of data is recorded regardless of the track, except that only Track 1 records Auto Accom- paniment.

Real-time Recording – Track 1 Only

The following data is recorded by Track 1 in addition to the data listed described under “Real-time Recording – All Tracks” below.

•Rhythm pattern and rhythm pattern changes during recording

•INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING, NORMAL/FILL-IN, VARIATION/ FILL-IN button operations

•Chords played on the accompaniment keyboard

Real-time Recording – All Tracks
