Chapter 3 Recording a Performance

You can easily record your performances.

You can play back a performance you have recorded to check what and how you played, and play melodies on the keyboard along with prerecorded accompaniment using the Rhythm.

Notes Regarding Recording

•Only one song can be recorded. With second or later recordings, the previously recorded song is erased as the new material is recorded. When recording a new performance, it is probably a good idea to erase the previously recorded performance first (p. 41).

•Recorded performances are erased when the power is turned off.

Recording a Performance

This records only what you play on the keyboard, without using the Session Partner.
