Select the part you want to assign to the channel to be recorded.

This determines which of the keyboard-played parts (Main/Layer/Left) and the

 

accompaniment style parts (RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, etc.) are recorded to the

 

recording channels

 

selected in step #2.

 

For a list of the initial

 

default assignments,

Recording starts as soon as you play the keyboard.

You can also start recording by pressing the

SONG/STYLE [START/STOP] button. The recording can be started/stopped by pressing the foot pedal if the recording punch in/out function is set to the pedal (page 101).

To stop recording, press the [REC] button again.

You can also use the foot pedal to stop recording by releasing it, if the

recording punch in/out function has been assigned to the pedal (page 101).

Play back your new song.

To play back the performance you just recorded, return the song to the

beginning by using the [TOP] button and press the SONG [START/STOP] button.

Playback stops automatically at the end of the song, and returns to the beginning of the song.

To record a new part, repeat steps 2 - 6 above.

END

You can set previously recorded parts to play back, and monitor them

 

 

while you record a new part. Continue in this way until you have a

 

finished song.

 

You can edit the recorded song data from the SONG CREATOR (1 - 16)

 

displays (page 105).

 

Press the [6] button from the SONG display to store the recorded data

 

(page 38, 44).

When selecting the MIDI part

Setting a single channel to MIDI

All incoming data received via any of the MIDI chan- nels 1 - 16 is recorded.

When using an external MIDI keyboard or control- ler to record, this lets you record without having to set the MIDI transmit channel on the external device.

Setting several channels to MIDI

When using an external MIDI keyboard or control- ler to record, this records data only over the set MIDI channel — meaning the external device must also be set to the same channel.

A single part (with the exception of MIDI parts) cannot be assigned to several channels.

The settings of the recorded parts is stored temporarily until you execute Quick Recording, select a song, or turn the power off.

To pause, press the SONG [START/STOP] button. To resume recording, press the SONG [START/STOP] button again.

You can also use the metronome click as a guide while recording.

The sound of the metronome is not recorded.

CAUTION

Turning off the power automatically deletes your recorded performance. If you wish to save the recording, make sure to store it to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 44).
