Creating a Performance

The G1/G1 Air features an onboard recorder so you can eas-
ily create, record, and playback your own performances.
The recorder provides two parts. You can use record one
part, then add a second part, and play a third part live on
the keyboard as those parts playback, or you can use each
part to record a separate song.
Your recorded performances can be saved as User Songs—
until the maximum number of songs or maximum num-
ber of measures has been reached, or until the data storage
space of the G1/G1 Air is full.
If you record to a part where data has already been
recorded, the previous performance data will be de-
leted and overwritten with the new performance data.
Therefore, before recording to a part, be sure it does not
contain any data that you wish to save.
