■Recording a Performance Using Rhythms (in Split Play)

Specify the chord progression yourself to record session performances with even greater freedom.

By prerecording only the Rhythm (accompaniment) using your preferred chord progressions, you can then use the entire keyboard in session performances as you play along with the playback of this recording.

NOTE

When you record additional material without erasing the previously recorded sounds, the song is recorded at the initially recorded tempo.
