• User song numbers can be
selected in the same way as with
the voices (see page 24). You
can use the numeric keypad to
directly enter the song number,
use the [+]/[-] buttons to step up
and down through the songs.

• Keep in mind that all recording
operations “replace” the data.
In other words, if you record to
a track that already has
recorded data, all previous
data in the track will be erased
and replaced by the newly
recorded data.
Muting Tracks During Playback
While recording is enabled, you can selectively mute different tracks. This is useful for when you want to clearly
hear certain tracks, and not others, during recording. Muting can also be done “on the fly” during playback. To use
muting, press the corresponding SONG MEMORY button, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired track number
in the display is off.
Each press of a SONG MEMORY button (when playback is stopped) cycles through the following settings:
Track number flashes — Track will record.*
* Cannot be selected during playback.
Track number off — Track is muted.
Track number on — Track will play back.
• If accompaniment has already
been turned on before entering
the Record mode, the Chord
track is automatically selected.
