Using the Song Memory

SONG MEMORY is a four-way switch. When you press it once, the keyboard enters the memory playback mode. When you press it again, it enters the real-time memory record mode. When you press the button a third time, it enters the step recording mode. When you press the button a fourth time, it turns off the memory function.

When you record on a track that contains data, the new recording replaces the previous recording.

The touch response setting (on/off) is not recorded. However, the strength of the strike is recorded.

Channel 1 mixer parameters are automatically recorded to Track 1.

Check the display for Channels 11–16 to see which memory tracks contain data and which are empty.

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

To record using an intro, ending, or fill-in, use INTRO/ENDING 1 or 2, SYNCHRO/FILL-IN

NEXT, VARIATION/FILL-IN 1, or VARIATION/

FILL-IN 2 as you normally would.

The keyboard lets you record up to two separate songs (with up to about 3,500 notes) in memory for later playback. You can use either of two methods to record a song — real-time recording (you record as you play) or step recording (you enter notes and chords one-by-one).

You can record on each of the keyboard’s six tracks 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. Also, you can use different mixer settings for each track.

Track 1 is the main track, and you can use it to record auto accompaniment, as well as keyboard play. Tracks 2 through 6 are melody tracks, and you can use these for recording a secondary melody that includes keyboard play.

Because each track is independent of the others, you only need to re-record a single track if you make a mistake while recording on it.

If the remaining memory is less than 100 notes, the measure and beat numbers flash. When memory becomes full, recording automatically stops (and auto- accompaniment or rhythm stops playing, if used).

Memory contents are saved as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. Unplugging the adapter without batteries or with weak batteries erases the memory. To prevent data loss, connect an adapter before replacing the batteries.

Turning off the keyboard while recording erases the contents of the track you were recording.

You can transfer memory contents to another MIDI device.

With real-time recording, the notes are recorded as you play them on the keyboard.

￿

1.Repeatedly press SONG MEMORY until ￿￿3￿# appears. ￿

2.Within 5 seconds, press + or (or 0 or 1) to select a song number.

3.Press CHORD/TR 1 to select Track 1. While the keyboard is in memory record mode, the level meters for channels 11 through 16 correspond to memory tracks 1 through 6. When all four bars are lit, that channel has something in memory: if only one bar is lit, that track is empty.

4.If desired, you can change the following settings:

Tone number

Rhythm number. (To record without an auto-rhythm, skip Step 5 of “Real- Time Recording.” Recording starts when you press a key.)

Tempo. (Do not change the tempo unless you already know the desired tempo. Pressing START/STOP to hear the tempo causes recording to begin).

MODE

5.Press START/STOP to start recording.

￿

To start recording with synchro start,

pressinstead of START/STOP. Recording starts when you play a note or a chord on the accompaniment keys.

To synchro start auto accompaniment with an intro pattern, press SYNCHRO/ FILL-IN NEXT and then INTRO/ENDING 1 or 2 instead of START/STOP. Recording starts with the intro pattern when you play a note or a chord on the accompaniment keys.

To start auto accompaniment during a recording, press INTRO/ENDING 1 or 2 instead of START/STOP. Play the melody keys to start recording. When you reach the point where you want accompaniment to start, play a chord on the accompaniment keys.

6.Play the keyboard. You can also record auto accompaniment chords, tuning, and pedal operations.

7.Press START/STOP to end recording.

If you make a mistake, press START/ STOP to stop recording and begin again from Step 1, or you can edit the contents. See “Editing Memory Contents” on Page 18.

This data is stored on Track 1 along with the notes you played:

tone number

rhythm number

rhythm controller (INTRO/ENDING 1 or 2, VARIATION/FILL-IN 1 or 2, etc.) operations

pedal operations

accompaniment volume

effect type

See “Recording Multiple Tracks” on Page 18 to record on the other five tracks. ￿
