Song Recording
• Before actually starting to record you can try playing the
PSR-530 the way it is set up by using the “Rehearsal Mode”:
press the [SYNC START] button to temporarily disengage
the record ready mode, rehearse as necessary, then press
the [SYNC START] button again to return to the record ready
mode.
• Whenever you record using a SONG, any previously re-
corded material in the same track will be erased.
• If the SONG memory becomes full while recording, “FULL”
will appear on the display and recording will stop (the “Re-
hearsal Mode” will be engaged).
• If you start recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button,
nothing will be recording on a MELODY track until you begin
playing on the keyboard. Only rhythm accompaniment will be
recorded on the ACCOMPANIMENT track until you play a
chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.
• During recording you can use the TRACK buttons to turn
playback of previously-recorded MELODY tracks or the AC-
COMPANIMENT track on or off as required.
7Stop Recording
Stop recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button. If you press the
[ENDING] button while recording the ACCOMPANIMENT track, recording will
stop automatically after the ending section has finished. When recording is stopped
the MEASURE number on the display will return to “1” and the record-ready mode
will be engaged.

mode is engaged you can
press the [VOICE] button
to go to the VOICE menu

display shows “- - -:Mea-
sure” indicating that re-
cording from the middle of
the song is not possible.
