Recording Your Performance

as You Play It

(Realtime Recording)

Realtime Recording is the recording method in which your keyboard playing and controller operations are recorded just as you perform them. Use this recording method when you want to capture the nuances of your own performance.

Basic Operation for Realtime Recording

1.Make sure that the preparations for recording have been completed as described in “Before You Record a New Song” (p. 127).

If you want to record into an existing song, load the desired song into internal memory (p. 136). Then press [FWD] or [BWD] to specify the measure at which you want to begin recording. The measure at which recording will begin is indicated by the “M=” in the upper part of each PLAY screen.

2.Press [REC].

The [REC] indicator will blink, and the Recording Standby window appears.

This window lets you set various parameters for realtime recording.

If you want to record a pattern, access the Pattern Edit screen (p.

139) and then press [REC].

3.As basic settings, specify the following three parameters. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to each parameter, and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the setting.

Track

Specify the phrase track or pattern on which you want to record. Value: AUTO, TRK 1–TRK 16

PTN001–PTN100 (* when recording on a pattern)

“AUTO” can be selected only when recording in Multitimbre mode. If you select “AUTO,” the part (current part) selected in the MULTITIMBRE PLAY screen will automatically be specified as the recording-destination phrase track.

Recording Songs

Mode (Recording Mode)

Select how recording is to take place.

Value

MIX: Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally, you will record using this method. If a performance has already been recorded on the recording-destination track, your newly recorded performance will be added to the existing performance without erasing it. By using this in conjunction with Loop-recording, you can record repeatedly over a specified area without erasing the previously recorded performance. For example, this is a convenient way to record a drum performance one instrument at a time; bass drum → snare drum → hi-hat, etc.

REPLACE: Replace-recording will be carried out. If a performance has already been recorded on the recording-destination track, it will be erased as you record your new performance. Use this when you want to re-record.

Count In

Select how recording is to begin.
Value
OFF: Recording will begin immediately when you press [STOP/
PLAY].
1 MEAS: When you press [STOP/PLAY], a count (playback) will	Songs
begin one measure before the recording-start location, and recording

begin two measures before the recording-start location, and
recording will begin when you reach the recording-start location.
WAIT NOTE: Recording will begin when you play the keyboard or
press the Hold pedal.

4.When you are finished making settings in the Recording Standby window, press [STOP/PLAY].

When recording begins, the Realtime Recording window will appear. In this window, you can specify the Punch-in/out points (p. 130), perform Realtime Erase (p. 132), and use the Rehearsal function (p. 132). For details on these operations, refer to the corresponding reference page. To close this window, press [REC].

5.When you are finished recording, press [STOP/PLAY].

The [REC] indicator will go dark.

If you are not satisfied with the realtime recording you just made, you can press [MENU], and from the Menu window that appears, select “Undo Realtime Recording” to return to the state prior to recording (Undo).
