2. Song Recording
184 RS7000

Create original sequences by recording performance data to the song tracks. Three recording modes

are available: real-time recording, step recording, and grid-step recording. Punch-in real-time record-

ing is also available.

The Song Recording Display

Song Recording has the following display pages.

●Record Standby (Page 184)

This page is used to prepare for recording performance data to
the currently selected song.

●Real-time Record (Page 186)

This recording mode allows notes played via the RS7000 key-
board and velocity pads, variations applied via the assignable
knobs, and performance data from external MIDI devices, to be
recorded in real time. Recording can be carried out while moni-
toring playback of other tracks.

●Real-time Record: Replace (Page 186)

Any previous data in the recorded track will be erased (overwrit-
ten) and replaced by the new performance data. This is handy
when you need to re-record the same part several times.

●Real-time Record: Overdub (Page 186)

This mode allows material to be added to existing material on a
track. Previous performance data will not be erased. This makes
it easy to create parts by recording them a little at a time.

●Real-time Record: Punch (Page 187)

Real-time recording is carried out between specified punch-in
and punch out points. This allows you to record a specified sec-
tion of a previously-recorded track without having to re-record
the entire track. This recording mode overwrites any data previ-
ously in the recorded range.

●Step Record (Page 187)

This mode allows notes to be entered one at a time. Step record-
ing makes it easy to create songs even if you can’t play the parts
in real time.
Notes are entered by first specifying the note type, and then the
note pitch via the keyboard.

●Grid-Step Record (Page 189)

As in the Step record mode, notes are entered one at a time.
After specifying the note’s pitch, the note is entered at the grid
position (timing) specified by the keyboard.
This method is particularly useful when entering drums and
sequenced phrases which use consecutive notes of the same
pitch.
Prepare to record to the currently selected song by selecting the
record track, record type, and other parameters.
