❚ NOTES ❚

•You can change the tone and rhythm while recording is in progress. Any changes you make become part of the recorded data.

•The tempo you use for recording does not affect the tempo of the play- back. This means you can record at a very slow tempo for easy play, and then speed up the tempo for playback.

•If you are using a rhythm pattern, notes are recorded using the meter (time) of the rhythm pattern. If you are not using a rhythm pattern, you must set the meter yourself using the procedure under “Meter (3)” on page E-46.

•The following procedure shows the most basic operations for real-time recording to Track 1. For other variations, see “Track 1 Real-time Re- cording Variations” on this page.

To use real-time recording in Track 11. Press the SONG button once.

•This causes the indicator lamp above the SONG button to light.

2.Select the user song area to which you want to record.

•Use [+] and [–] to select User Song Area 0 (SG0) or User Song Area 1 (SG1).

4.Make any tone, rhythm, or accompaniment mode set- ting you want.5.Press the START/STOP button to start recording.

•At this time the REC indicator stops flashing.

•The metronome normally sounds during recording. If you want to turn off the metronome, use the procedure under “Metronome Setting (1)” on page E-46.

6.Play the notes you want to record on the keyboard.

•Chords played on the accompaniment keyboard in accor- dance with the accompaniment method selected with the MODE button are also recorded in Track 1.

7. After you are finished playing, press START/STOP again to stop recording.

•The REC indicator clears from the display when recording is stopped.

•Pressing START/STOP again at this point plays back the song that you just finished recording. See “Playing Back from Song Sequencer Memory” on page E-45 for details on song play- back.

❚NOTES ❚

•Real-time recording to a track that already contains data replaces the previous recording with the new one.

•If you make a mistake while recording, you can either record over again from step 1, or you can use punch-in recording (page E-42) to correct them.

•If you change the rhythm pattern part way through real-time recording, the meter value indicated on the display remains unchanged, even if the new rhythm has a different meter.
