2Make the desired panel settings for your keyboard performance.

Below are some example settings you may want to try.

• Recording the RIGHT 2 and/or LEFT parts

The [RIGHT 2] and/or [LEFT] keyboard parts should be turned on. Select

the voice for each keyboard part (RIGHT 2, LEFT) by calling up the Voice

selection display (page 79, page 80).

• Recording Styles

1Select a Style (page 46).

2Set the tempo for recording by pressing the TEMPO [–] [+] buttons, as

necessary.

• Using Registration Memory panel setups

Press one of the REGISTRATION MEMORY [1–8] buttons (page 131).

3While holding the SONG [REC] button, press the SONG TRACK but-

tons to be recorded.

• Recording your performance

Press the SONG [TR 1] button for the right-hand part recording, and/or the

SONG [TR 2] button for the left-hand part recording.

• Recording Styles/Multi Pads

Press the SONG [EXTRA TR (STYLE)] button.

• Recording your performance and the Style/Multi Pad playback

simultaneously

Press the SONG [TR 1]/[TR 2] buttons and the SONG [EXTRA TR (STYLE)]

button.

4Start recording.

There are several different ways you can start recording.

• Starting by playing the keyboard

If you’ve selected the SONG [TR 1]/[TR 2] buttons in step 3, play in the

right-hand section of the keyboard (page 78). If you’ve selected the SONG

[EXTRA TR (STYLES)] button in step 3, play in the left-hand (chord) section

of the keyboard (page 107). Recording begins automatically as soon as

you play a note on the keyboard.

• Starting by pressing the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button

If you start recording in this way, “empty” data is recorded until you play a

note on the keyboard. This is useful for starting a Song with a short one-or

two-beat pick-up or lead-in.

• Starting by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.

In this case the rhythm parts (channels) of the Style begin playing back and

recording starts simultaneously.

The RIGHT 2 and/or LEFT parts

are recorded onto separate

tracks.

Using the metronome

You can record your perfor-

mance while playing back the

metronome (page 34). However,

the metronome sound is not

recorded.
