Creating and Editing Songs

Step 1 Prepare for Recording

Selecting the Song to Record
1.
Select “New Song” by pressing the [ (Rec)] button
while you hold down the [Song] button (p. 77).
The following screen is displayed if there is any previously recorded
performance or any song with changed settings.
Touch <OK> to delete the song.
If you want to overwrite while recording, select a song.
Determining the Song’s Beat and Tempo
2.
Press the [Metronome] button to select the beat (p. 49).
You can’t change a song’s beat once it’s been recorded. If you
want to compose a song whose beat changes partway through
the song, take a look at “Changing the Beat in the Middle of a
Song (Beat Map)” (p. 169).
3.
Press the Tempo [Slow] and [Fast] buttons to set the
basic tempo of the song.
If you do not need the metronome sound, press the [Metronome]
button once more.
When using song data that has already been recorded, the
recording is made using the source song’s basic tempo. To
change the basic tempo of a song, please refer to“Changing
the Tempo of Recorded Songs” (p. 169).

Step 2 Start Recording

If necessary, choose a recording method.
For more on how to record, refer to the following paragraph.
If you record for the first time, there’s no need to select the
recording method.
Selecting the Part to Record
1.
Display the 16-track Sequencer screen (p. 156).
2.
Touch the number for the Part you want to record.
The button for the touched part being set turns orange.
You can only record drum sounds or effect sounds on Part 10 or Part
11. You can select drum sets or effect sounds by selecting Part 10 or
Part 11 and touching <Drum Set>.
Selecting the Sound to Play
3.
Use the Tone buttons to choose a Tone to play.
After selecting a Tone, press the [Exit] button to call up the “16-Track
Sequencer screen.”
Recording the Performance
4.
Hold down the [ (Play/Stop)] button and press the
[ (Prev)] button.
Recording will start at the beginning of the song.
If you want to record from a point other than the beginning, use the
[ (Prev)] and [ (Next)] buttons to select another measure
to begin.
5.
Press the [ (Rec)] button so its indicator is lit.
The RM-700 is put in recording standby.
6.
Press the [ (Play/Stop)] button.
A two-bar count-in sounds, then recording starts.
7.
Press the [ (Play/Stop)] button.
Recording stops.
When one part is recorded, continue by selecting and recording
another part. Continue layering parts to finish recording the song.
You only need to follow the procedure described in “Step 1
Prepare for Recording” when you’re recording the first Part.
For the second Part and after, you can skip step 1 and proceed
from “Step 2 Start Recording.”
Any performance that has been recorded is deleted when the
power to the RM-700 is turned off. It is a good idea to save
song data to an external memory or user memory. For more
information, refer to “Saving Songs” (p. 134).
