4Start recording.

The SONG CONTROL [REC] button (that ﬂashes before recording) lights continuously after recording starts. Below

are details on how recording can be started.

● Recording starts as soon as you play a key on the keyboard.

• When turning the [ACMP] and the [SYNC START] on, style playback and recording start simultaneously as soon

as a chord is played in the style chord section of the keyboard (the left side of the split point).

• When turning the [ACMP] on and the [SYNC START] off, recording starts as soon as a chord is played in the

style chord section of the keyboard (the left side of the split point) with the Stop Accompaniment (page 33).

● Recording starts by pressing the SONG CONTROL [START/STOP] button.

If you start recording in this way, “empty” data is recorded until you play a note on the keyboard. This is useful

for creating a measure or two of silence at the top of a song. It can also be used for starting a song with a short one-

or two-beat pick-up or lead-in.

• The rhythm parts (channels) of style playback and recording start simultaneously by pressing the STYLE CON-

TROL [START/STOP] button.

● Multi Pad playback and recording start simultaneously as soon as you press any of the Multi Pads.

5Press the [REC] button to stop recording.

6Listen to your newly recorded performance.

Press the [TOP] button so that the song playback position returns back to the top and press the SONG CONTROL

[START/STOP] button.

7If necessary, re-record a speciﬁc section of the recorded song or

record an additional section to the end of the recorded song.

Repeat steps #2 - #6 above. You can selectively re-record parts of the song by starting recording in the middle of the

song and stopping it when desired, or you can record continuously all the way to the end of the song.

8Make sure to save the song data to the USER or FD drive when recording is completed.

Call up the USER or FD page of the Song selection (Open/Save) display by pressing one of the SONG buttons and

execute the save.
