During recording, the control track will store the operations as follows.

Panel Operations (Voice selections, Tempo changes, Rotary fast/slow etc.)

Newly recorded performance data will be added without erasing the previously record- ed data.

If you wish to erase all the recorded data and record new performance data, use the ed- iting function “Erase” (erase performance data) to erase the data (p. 85).

Expression Pedal Operations

This will depend on the expression function in the Function menu. The way in which ex- pression operations are recorded will depend on the setting of the “Exp. Source” item “Recording” in the Function menu.

PEDAL

Expression pedal operations will be recorded.

 

If expression data has already been recorded, the previously recorded

 

data will be erased as the new data is recorded.

COMPOSER

Expression pedal operations will not be recorded.

 

If expression data has already been recorded, the previously recorded

 

data will remain without being erased.

For details refer to “Changing the Function of the Expression Pedal (Exp. Source)” (p. 81).
