Chapter 5 Advanced Recording Function

Re-Recording Part of Your Performance

(Punch-in Recording)

You can re-record only a specified passage as you listen to a recorded performance.

This recording method is called “Punch-in Recording.”

This function lets you record over only at a specified point in a part, as you listen to a prerecorded performance in another section. This is a very convenient feature to have in situations such as when you want to record over only one part of the melody.

Punch-In Recording offers the following two methods.

Recording the passage specified by markers A and B (Auto Punch In/Out)

Before you start recording, place markers A and B to define the passage you want to record over. Make the setting for punch-in recording, and carry out recording. You can re- record just the passage between markers A and B.

3.Start recording.

Start recording as described in “Redoing a Recording” (p. 101).

Up until the specified interval, the performance as already recorded is played back.

When you reach the specified interval, sounds are erased as recording starts; begin playing now.

When the end of the specified interval is passed, recording stops, and the KF-90 returns to playback of the performance already recorded.

4.Press the Stop [ ] button to stop playback.

Starting Recording from the Measure Specified by Pedals

When you’re using pedals, change the action of the pedal ahead of time.

Follow the steps in “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 147) and assign <Punch In/Out> to the pedal.

Beginning recording at the point where the pedal is pressed (Manual Punch In/Out)

You can play back a recorded performance and depress the pedal at the desired place to start recording. Depressing the pedal a second time cancels recording and returns you to playback.

1.At the Rec Mode screen (p. 115), choose <Manual Punch In/Out>.

This changes the recording mode to “Punch-In Recording.”

Touch <Exit> to go back to the previous screen.

Recording a Passage specified by markers

1.Before you start recording, place markers A and B to define the passage you want to record over.

Following the procedures described in “Placing/Erasing a Marker Within a Song” (p. 90), use Markers A and B to specify the interval.

2.At the Rec Mode screen, choose <Auto Punch In/

Out>.

2.Begin recording.

Start recording as described in “Redoing a Recording” (p. 101).

The performance that you recorded will be played back. Depress the pedal, and recording will start.

Depressing the pedal again stops recording, and the KF- 90 returns to playback of the performance already recorded.

3.Press the Stop [ ] button, and playback of the song is stopped.

*When you’re finished with Punch In Recording, return to the ordinary Replace Recording mode. Take a look at “Selecting the Recording Method” (p. 115).
