RECORD WINDOWS

These types of windows appear when PS1500 is set to record a User Style, Song/Style or Song. The display differs slightly for each specific ele- ment. In all cases, the metronome is activated automatically when the RECORD button is pressed. The top line of the display shows “MT” to indicate the activation. A recorded track is set to “play” and a mute track to “off”.

The User Style Record window shows (on the top line) the Tempo setting, the Metronome acti- vation symbol (MT), the User-Style name, the Measure counter and the name & bank of the Sound assigned to the selected track. The bot- tom line shows the five parameters representing the Style tracks that can be recorded (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3). The selected parame- ter is shown as a Program Change number. On the extreme right is the Style Variation and Riff being recorded (Variation: Maj, Min, 7th, etc.).

The Song/Style Record window shows (on the top line) the Tempo setting, the Metronome acti- vation symbol (MT), the Song/Style name, the Measure counter and the name & bank of the Sound assigned to the selected keyboard track in record. The bottom line shows the name of the Style being recorded, the record status of the Chord track (in this case active to record chord events) and three parameters representing the keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). The selected track is shown as a Program Change number.

The Song Record window shows (on the top line) the Tempo setting, the Metronome activation sym- bol (MT), the Song name, the Measure counter and the name & bank of the Sound assigned to the selected track. The bottom line shows eight parameters representing the Song Tracks (tracks 01-08). Tracks 09-16 are shown by pressing the Track Select button in the 16 Track Recording Studio. The selected parameter in record is shown as a Program Change number.
