Perform on the VP-770 as you listen to the song on your sequencer, and record the
p
er
f
ormance data
f
rom the VP-770 on a MIDI track o
f
the sequencer.
T
here are two advantages to recording just your keyboard per

time
.
Y
ou’ll be able to concentrate on the keyboard (or microphone
)
Y
ou’ll be able to use your sequencer to edit (correct) your keyboard per

For example i
f
you’ve already recorded the backing chorus or melody, all you have le
f
t to do is sing
!
Play back your sequencer, and vocalize into the microphone that’s connected to the
V
P-770. Then record the VP-770’s OUTPUT signal onto an audio track of
