Recording Your Performance; Track Structure Of A Song; Quick Recording - Yamaha PSR-E463 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

You can record up to 10 of your performances to the instrument as User Songs. The
recorded User Songs can be played back in the same way as the preset Songs.
NOTE
• For details on Audio recording, refer to page 42.
• This instrument records your performance and saves it in an original format. If you want to save it as MIDI data, convert it to SMF by
saving it to the connected USB flash drive (page 73).

Track Structure of a Song

A Song can be recorded to the six tracks. You can
record without specifying tracks, but you can also
record each track one by one (e.g., only the right-
hand part or the left-hand part) to create a complete
piece which may be difficult to play at once.
 Melody Tracks [1/RIGHT]–[5]
These are for recording melody or similar perfor-
mances.
 Accompaniment Track [A]
This is for recording a chord progression (for the
Style) or key changes (for the Groove).

Quick Recording
