Song Memory Function

This keyboard lets you record up to five separate songs in song memory for later playback. There are two methods you can use to record a song: real-time recording where you record the notes as you play them on the keyboard, and step recording where you input chords and notes one-by-one.

NOTE

•Layer and split cannot be used while standing by for recording or while recording is being performed in the Song Memory Mode. Also, layer and split are automatically turned off whenever the keyboard goes into record standby or starts recording.

Tracks

Keyboard song memory records and plays back much like a standard tape recorder. There are a total of six tracks, each of which can be recorded separately. Besides notes, each track can have its own tone number. Then when you play back the tracks together, it sounds like an entire six-piece band. During playback, you can adjust the tempo to change the speed of playback.

NOTE

•With this keyboard, Track 1 is the basic track, which can be used to record keyboard play, along with Auto Accompaniment. Tracks 2 through 6 can be used for keyboard play, so they are called melody tracks. Tracks 2 through 6 are used to add other parts to what is recorded in Track 1.

•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.

•You can use different Mixer settings for each track (page E-40).

Selecting a Track

Use the SONG MEMORY TRACK buttons marked CHORD/ TR1 through TR6 to select the track you want.
