Record Your Own Performance

You can record up to 5 of your own performances and save them as user songs 031 through 035. Once your performances have been saved as user songs, they can be converted to SMF (Standard MID File) format files and saved to SmartMedia memory (page 76) and used with score display. So when inspiration strikes and you create a great melody, you can save it in both listenable and written score form. You can also record performances using the performance assistant technology.

■Recordable Data

You can record to a total of 6 tracks: 5 melody tracks and 1 style (chord) track. Each track can be recorded individually.

● Melody Track [1] – [5] .................. Record the melody parts.

● Style Track [A] ............................. Records the chord part.

NOTE

•A maximum of 5 user songs can be recorded. If you record a 6th song after recording to the 5 available user song locations, choose a song number (031 – 035) containing a song that you don’t mind erasing, or save the user song data to SmartMedia memory so that you can over- write the internal user song memory without permanently losing your song data.

•Up to approximately 10,000 notes can be recorded if you record only to the melody tracks. Up to approximately 5,500 chord changes can be recorded if you record only to the style track.

•User songs cannot display a score as is, but they can be con- verted to SMF (Standard MIDI File) format and stored to SmartMedia memory (page 76), from which they can be played with score display.

Track Configuration

To record your own performance, first use the SONG MEMORY [1] – [5] and [A] buttons to specify the track(s) you want to record on. The track you record on determines the part that plays back later.
