2.Various recording methods

Using Quantize while you record

The Quantize function corrects the timing of your performance while you record.

In the “Rec 2/3” page, press the “Quantize” cell, and use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to specify the resolution (timing precision).

“Quantize” cell

“High”: Data will be recorded at the maxi- mum resolution (a quarter note is divided into 96 parts), and the timing will not be quan- tized.

“”–“ ”: The timing will be corrected to the specified note value. When “ ” is selected, the timing will be corrected to the nearest 32th note triplet. When “ ” is selected, the timing will be corrected to the nearest quarter note unit.

With a setting of

If you use a rough quantization such as or when recording damper pedal or other control data, the result may sound unnatural when played back. To avoid this, record with a quantize setting of “High,” and then use the “Rec 3/3” page “Quantize” function to correct the timing of only the note data. (☞ p.57)

Multitrack recording

You can layer up to five tracks of recording onto the data that was recorded in “KBD,” “Control,” and “Chord.”

Here’s how to load the performance data you recorded in “Basic recording” and use it as the basis of a multi-track recording.

1	Load the performance data that
	you saved

3	Select the track that you wish to
	record

Press the “Track” button for the track that you wish to record, to should say “Rec.”

Only one track at a time can be set to “Rec.” The Rec setting in the “Rec 1/3” page is auto- matically cancelled by the “Rec” setting you make here.

4	Select a sound program
	Press the “Program” cell, and select a pro-

	switch, and the switch indicator will light.
	After a two-measure count-off, recording
	will begin.

To stop recording

Press the RECORDER [PLAY/STOP] switch. After a message informs you that the data is being stored into memory, the [RECORD] switch indicator will go dark. The “Track” button that was recorded will change to “Play.”

6	Record additional tracks
	Select another track as described in step 3,

and record using the same procedure.

To record additional material on the same track

Press the “Recording mode” cell, and select “OVDB.”

The following record types can be selected. OVWR (overwrite): The newly-recorded data will overwrite (and erase) the previ- ously-recorded data.
