Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/
Out (REC MODE)
When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch
IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and
the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind
that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over,
although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out
timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers
beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out record-
ing by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard.
The explanations here apply to the REC MODE display in step 4 of the “Basic Edit-
ing Operation” on page 162.

NORMAL Overwrite recording starts when pressing the SONG [F/K]
(PLAY/PAUSE) button or when you play the keyboard in the
Synchro Standby mode.
FIRST KEY ON The Song plays back normally, then starts overwrite recording as
soon as you play the keyboard.
PUNCH IN AT The Song plays back normally up to the beginning of the indi-
cated Punch In measure, then starts overwrite recording at that
point. You can set the Punch In measure by pressing the [3
π† ]
button.
REPLACE ALL This deletes all data after the point at which recording is stopped.
PUNCH OUT The Song position at which recording is stopped is regarded as
the Punch Out point. This setting maintains all data after the
point at which recording is stopped.
PUNCH OUT AT Actual overwrite recording continues until the beginning of the
specified Punch Out measure (set with the corresponding display
button), at which point recording stops and normal playback
continues. This setting maintains all data after the point at which
recording is stopped. You can set the Punch Out measure by
pressing the [6
π† ] buttons.
