Recording Your Own Performance

You can record up to five of your own performances and save them as user Songs 001 through 005.

Additionally, when a Song is playing the score will be shown on the dis- play. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If the Song contains lyric and chord data, the lyrics and chords will also appear on the score display.

■Recordable data

When Style is off, tracks [1]–[16] can be recorded as melody tracks.

When Style is on, tracks [1]–[8] can be recorded as melody tracks, and tracks [9]–[16] can be recorded as accompaniment tracks.

■Recording methods

NOTE

•Up to approximately 30,000 notes can be recorded, if you record only to the melody tracks.

Track Configuration

Generally, Song data consists of 16 tracks. On this instrument, you can record your performance step-by- step to each of tracks 1–16. For example, you can select the Main Voice for recording to Track 1, then set the Dual Voice to Track 2, and so on. (When the Quick Recording mode is selected, the playing parts and their corresponding tracks are set automatically.)

■Recording track

When Multi track recording is selected and accompaniment is off, you can specify the recording track [1]–[16] for melody, or when accompaniment is on, you can specify the tracks [1]–[8] for melody and [9]–[16] for accompani- ment. The track button in [1/9]–[8/16] that has recorded data in the tracks is indicated in green, while the button that contains no data is unlit. Also the track numbers containing recorded data are indicated with framed rectangles in the display.
