Playing sounds
The Recorder function lets you record several measures of your keyboard performance or knob operations and
play back this recording repeatedly.
The recorded performance is called a “phrase.” You can record up to eight phrases, each up to eight measures long.
The SH-201’s recorder does not record the actual “sound” you’re hearing; rather, it records performance data (MIDI
messages) that provides an ongoing description of things, such as “which key was pressed, when, and how strongly.”
* The patch you’re using, patch selections during the phrase, and tempo changes are not recorded.
1
Press and release the REC button; the SH-201 enters REC
standby mode.
The REC button’s indicator starts blinking, and the metronome
begins sounding.
2
Specify the length of the phrase that you want to record.
In REC standby mode, the NUMBER buttons (1–8) are used to
specify the length (number of measures) for the phrase. The
number of lit buttons indicates the number of measures in the
phrase.
To specify the number of measures, press the NUMBER button for
the number of measures you want to record.
* If you specify the length of the phrase to be recorded, all performance data
previously recorded for that phrase will be erased.
3
Press the PLAY/STOP button.
A one-measure (four-beat) count is sounded, then recording
begins.
The blinking REC button’s indicator will change to steadily lit.
4
To stop recording, press the PLAY/STOP button once again.
