Recording Your Performance

P-155 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

2. Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready

mode.

This automatically selects an empty ﬁle (U01–U03) for recording and makes the

RIGHT part’s indicator turn red. If all ﬁle numbers contain recorded data, File

U01 will be selected. This simply enables recording; to start recording, go on to

step 3.

The [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will ﬂash at the current METRONOME tempo

setting.

You can turn on the metronome in this step, and adjust the tempo by using the

[TEMPO/FUNCTION –, +] buttons. (Range: 32–280)

Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC]

button again.

3. Start recording.

Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard

or press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The current measure’s number will appear

on the display while recording.

4. Press either [REC] or [STOP] button to stop record-

ing.

When recording is stopped, dashes appear in the display in succession to indi-

cate that the recorded data is being saved to the instrument automatically. After

the data is saved, the ﬁle name (U01–U03) appears in the display. The recorded

part’s indicator will light in green to indicate that it now contains data. (Record

mode is disengaged automatically.)

CAUTION

Never attempt to turn the [STANDBY/ON] switch OFF while ﬂashing dashes appear

in the display (these indicate data is being written to internal memory). Turning the

power off in this state results in loss of all recorded data.

5. Play back the recorded performance.

Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to play back the recorded performance. To stop

playback in the middle of a song, press the [STOP] button.

TERMINOLOGY

Mode:

A mode is a status under which

you can execute a certain func-

tion. In Record Ready mode, you

can record your performance.

If you have selected the LEFT

part previously in the same ﬁle,

the LEFT part will automatically

be made active when pressing

the [REC] button in step 2.

If the metronome was on when

you started recording, you’ll be

able to keep time with the metro-

nome while recording, but the

metronome sound will not be

recorded.

For more recording information,

see page 29.

The function of the [PLAY/

PAUSE] button can be assigned

to the AUX pedal (pages 39, 43).

This allows you to start recording

by pressing the Footswitch con-

nected to the AUX jack.

Song recording can not be

paused, even by pressing the

[PLAY/PAUSE] button.

If the memory becomes full dur-

ing recording, “FUL” will appear

on the display and recording will

stop automatically. (All recorded

data up to that point will be

retained.)

Pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] but-

ton to start recording, then press-

ing the [STOP] button to stop

recording will erase all previously

recorded data on the selected

part.
