MDR Recording
This lets you record your performance as a Song to a USB flash drive. A Song is
comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the
actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what
timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded
performance information, the tone generator of the Electone outputs the corresponding
sound. MDR also records Registrations such as Voice selection, effect settings and so on
for future recall. In addition, this method enables you to record parts individually and re-
record a specific part.
Keep in mind that the Song recorded on the Electone using the MDR function is
intended for playing back only on the Electone, so you cannot transfer the Song to other
devices such as a portable music player for playing the Song on such devices. If you want
to do so, record your performance as an audio file in the method described in Chapter 7
"Audio" on page 169.
