Creating and Editing Songs

You can use any of the four methods below to record with the RM-
700. Although you will normally be using “Replace Recording,”
where previously recorded material is erased when new sounds are
recorded, you’ll find that you can record songs easily by using this
method in combination with other recording methods.

Immediately after the power is turned on, Replace Recording is
selected.

Replace Recording (p. 159)

This is the normal method for recording. New material is recorded as
previously recorded material is erased.

Mix Recording (p. 160)

New notes are recorded on top of notes previously recorded.
This convenient feature makes it easy for you to record melodies
over prerecorded accompaniment.

Loop Recording (p. 160)

Specified measures are recorded repeatedly, while new notes are
combined with existing music. A convenient feature for creating
rhythm parts. Loop Recording allows you to record over and over
within a selected segment, adding a different percussion sound
with each pass.

Punch-in Recording (p. 161)

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