4 Press the [Play] button.

Two measures of the count sound are played, and the recording begins. Go ahead and perform on the keyboard.

Note that recording will also begin as soon as you play anything on the keyboard, even if you do not press the [Play] button. There is no count sound played when you start in this manner.

NOTE

If you layer on a newly recorded performance without erasing the recorded song, the song tempo, beat, and metronome settings of the original recording will be stored along with the new recording.

The track buttons allow you to record to either the [Left] or the [Right] button, one at a time.
