Recording begins.

You can also press the START/STOP button to start the rhythm and begin recording.

If the metronome is on, when you press the START/STOP button, a two-measure count plays, after which recording automatically begins. In this case, the rhythm does not start. Recording does not start until the two-measure count is completed.

The recording status is continuously updated on the dis- play:

MEASURE= indicates the current measure. TIME SIG.= indicates the current time signature. MEMORY= indicates the remaining memory (%) avail-

able for recording.

If you wish to redo the recording, press the REC STOP button and then record again. To change the sounds and effects, etc. please set them again.

If you make a mistake in recording, you can correct a specific portion of your performance without having to redo the whole part. (Refer to page 64.)

11.When you have finished recording, press the REC STOP button on the display, or turn off

the PROGRAM MENUS button.

When the PROGRAM MENUS button is turned off, the ending command (END) is recorded. Note that, as long as the ending command is not recorded, blank recording continues even if you stop playing.

The SEQUENCER PLAY button turns on.
