Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs

— Song Creator

With these powerful yet easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard performances and store them for future recall. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page 93), which lets you record easily and quickly; Multi Recording (page 94), which lets you record several different parts; and Step Recording (page 96), which lets you enter notes one by one. Songs can include not only the voice settings for the keyboard performance (Main, Layer, Left), but also the effects, vocal harmony and auto accompaniment parts. The recorded song can be stored to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 44).

About Song Recording

■Quick Recording (page 93)

This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right hand and the auto accompaniment.

■Multi Recording (page 94)

This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance.

■Step Recording (page 96)

This method is like writing music notation on paper. It lets you enter each note individually, by specifying the pitch and length. This is ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are difficult to play.

■Song Editing (page 102)

The PSR-2000/1000 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods.

•The internal memory capacity of the PSR-2000/1000 is about 580KB (PSR-2000) / 260KB (PSR- 1000) . Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD floppy disks is about 720KB and 1.44MB, respectively. When you store data to these loca- tions, all file types of the PSR-2000/ 1000 (Voice, Style, Song, Registra- tion, etc.) are stored together.

•The microphone input signal (PSR- 2000 only) cannot be recorded.

•Songs recorded on the PSR-2000/ 1000 are automatically recorded as SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) data. For details on SMF, see page 159.

•Playback of the recorded song data can be transmitted from MIDI OUT, letting you play the sounds of a connected external tone generator (page 146).

•The volume level of each channel of the song can be adjusted from the Mixing Console and the set- tings can be saved. Moreover, even after you’ve set a voice for your keyboard play during recording, you can record voice selections, so that the voice changes automati- cally during playback (page 104).
