Recording Your Performance

You can easily record your performances.

A recorded performance can be played back to hear your own playing, or to add additional parts.

Notes Regarding Recording

Only one song can be recorded. If you begin recording when a previously recorded performance exists, the previous performance will be erased.

Recorded performances are erased when the power is turned off.

If you want to keep your performance, you can either record it on an external audio device (p. 29), or use an external MIDI device to save the performance data on a floppy disk (p. 32).

1. Select the tone that you want to play (p. 15).

2. If necessary, turn on the metronome.

Sound the metronome while you set the tempo and beat of the song (p. 18).

3. Press the [Rec] button.

The [Rec] button’s indicator will light, the [Play] button’s indicator will blink, and you will be in recording-standby mode.

To cancel recording, press the [Rec] button once more.

4. Recording will start when you either press the [Play] button

or play the keyboard.

The F-100 counts down two measures, then recording starts.

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.

5. To stop recording, press the [Play] or [Rec] button.

The indicators for the [Play] and [Rec] buttons will go dark.

Play back the recorded performance

6. Press the [Play] button.

Once again press the [Play] button, and playback will stop.

NOTE

If you layer a newly recorded performance without erasing the recorded song, the song tempo, beat and the selected rhythm will be stored with the settings that were recorded first. Please erase the previously recorded song before you record a new performance (p. 25).
