PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual 59
Recording your performances
The powerful recording features let you record your own performances and original
songs and save them as User songs (songs #101 – 105). Naturally, these can be
played back the same as the preset songs.
Recording
• You can record your keyboard performance in real time, just as if you were recording to a tape recorder.
•Each song has a total of six independent tracks available for recording—five melody tracks and one accompaniment
(chord play) track.
•You can record your keyboard performances to the User songs (#101 – 105). You should save your User songs per-
manently to SmartMedia card (page 63), since User song data is lost when the power is is turned off.
• The notation for User Songs (#101 – 105) cannot be directly displayed. However, you can have the notation dis-
played by converting the songs to Standard MIDI File format and saving them to a SmartMedia card. (See page 64.)

Recording a song
Select the desired User song number (101 – 105) for recording in the MAIN dis-
play.
• Keep in mind that any song data
recorded to internal memory will
be lost when the power is turned
off. However, if you’ve inserted a
SmartMedia card to the CARD
slot, the recorded song data can
be saved to the SmartMedia card
(page 63) after recording.
Because of this, make sure to
insert a SmartMedia card to the
CARD slot before turning the
power on (page 12).
• Keep in mind that when battery
power becomes low, the instru-
ment sounds may revert to their
initial settings and the User song
data and panel settings may be
lost, especially if you play the
instrument in this condition at a
high volume. If you intend on
using batteries, make sure to
save your data regularly and
often to a SmartMedia card.
