4 - RECORDING A SONG

The Backing Sequence mode is a fast and effective way of recording a new Song, making full use of the features of the Style Play mode. So, arm your recorder, and play live with the Styles—a song will be ready in seconds!

1First, enter Backing Sequence mode

Press B.SEQ to access the Backing Sequence mode. The Real- time tracks, on the keyboard, will remain the same you selected in the Style Play mode.

BS:New Song

Load Song Metro:Off

Save Song Meter:4/4

Sel.Tempo Tempo:Auto

Don’t worry about this display: it’s something you don’t need to learn at this point. You may find more information on it, going to the Reference Guide (see “Backing Sequence operat- ing mode” on page 82).

Suffice you to know this is the Backing Sequence Play page, where you can load, play or save a Song.

2Now, press RECORD.

You are prompted to select either the Realtime recording mode, or the Chord/Acc Step recording mode.

Record

Chord/Acc Step Mode

3Select the Realtime recording mode.

Simply press one of the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons. The Record page appears.

Resol:HI	RT/Pad:REC
Sel.Tempo	Ch/Acc:REC

4If you think the selected Style is not what you like for your backing tracks, select a different one.

Well, you should already know how to do it (see “Selecting a Style” on page 26). But here is a fast reminder:

Tutorial 31

4 - Recording a Song

1.Select one of the Style rows in the STYLE section, using the leftmost button.

2.Select one of the Style Banks, by pressing one of the but- tons of the STYLE section.

3.Select one of the pages, using the PAGE buttons.

4.Select a Style, using the VOLUME/VALUE (A-H) but- tons.

As you may guess, the Style Bank and number appear after the “Style” parameter in the display.

5And what about changing the Performance or Single Touch Setting?

As above, you should know the story (see “Selecting a Perfor- mance” on page 25, or “Selecting a Single Touch Setting (STS)” on page 27). But, here is a short recap for the Perfor- mances:

1.Press the PERFORM button to set the PROGRAM/PER- FORMANCE section act as a Performance selector.

2.Select one of the Performance Banks, by pressing one of the buttons of the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE sec- tion.

3.Select a Performance, using the VOLUME/VALUE (A- H) buttons.

…and for the Single Touch Settings (STS):

•Press one of the SINGLE TOUCH SETTING buttons.

6Ok, now we can go.

As you see, both the RT track and the Ch/Acc track are in RECord mode. This means you can start recording all you play in a realtime performance with the Styles. So,

PRESS START/STOP

WAIT FOR THE PRECOUNT TO REACH BAR 1

AND BEGIN PLAYING!

7Play as if you were playing live.

You can do exactly what you do when playing with the Styles: select a different Style, Performance, STS, different Variation, a Fill, and Ending…

You can even start your recording with an Intro: just press one of the INTRO buttons before pressing START/STOP to start recording.

8Stop the Song.

To stop the Song, press either START/STOP or one of the ENDING buttons. The Song will stop, but the Recording will still be on. So, you can start with another Song to be recorded in the same session (go back to step 6, if you like).

Otherwise, finish the Recording, going to the next step.

9Finish the recording.

All done, boys/girls? Yes? Fine! Then you may

PRESS PLAY/STOP (SEQ1)

and the Recording status will be gone. Both Backing Sequence tracks (RT and Ch/Acc) will be set to the PLAY sta- tus.

0Listen to the Song.

When back in the Backing Sequence Play page, press PLAY/ STOP (SEQ1) to listen to the new Song. How smart were you?
