Record Your Own Performance

You can record up to 5 of your own performances and save them as user songs 031 through 035. Once your performances have been saved as user songs, they can be converted to SMF (Standard MID File) format ﬁles and saved to USB ﬂash memory (page 94) and used with score display. So when inspiration strikes and you create a great mel- ody, you can save it in both listenable and written score form.

■Recordable Data

You can record to a total of 6 tracks: 5 melody tracks and 1 style (chord) track. Each track can be recorded individually.

● Melody Track [1]–[5]...........	Record the melody parts.
● Style Track [A] ....................	Records the chord part.

Track Configuration

NOTE

•Up to approximately 10,000 notes can be recorded if you record only to the melody tracks. Up to approximately 5,500 chord changes can be recorded if you record only to the style track.

•User songs cannot display a score as is, but they can be con- verted to SMF (Standard MIDI File) format and stored to USB ﬂash memory (page 94), from which they can be played with score display.

To record your own performance, ﬁrst use the SONG MEMORY [1]–[5] and [A] buttons to specify the track(s) you want to record on. The track you record on determines the part that plays back later.

NOTE

•The Difference Between MELODY R and MELODY L ...

Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto-accom- paniment style. Normally “melody” refers to the right-hand part, but in this instrument “melody” parts are provided for both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the mel- ody part played by the left hand.
