Notes Regarding Recording

• Only one song can be recorded.
• Recorded performances are normally deleted when you turn off the power to
the DP-970, but you can use the Song Backup function (p. 39) to have the
recorded performance be retained even while the power is turned off.
• You can also record performances to external audio devices as well as save
performance data onto floppy disks or other media using an external MIDI
device. For details, refer to “Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices” (p. 45).
