Chapter 3 Recording a Performance

You can easily record your performances.
You can play back a performance you have recorded to check what and how
you played, and play melodies on the keyboard along with prerecorded
accompaniment using the Rhythm.
Notes Regarding Recording
• Only one song can be recorded. With second or later recordings, the
previously recorded song is erased as the new material is recorded.
When recording a new performance, it is probably a good idea to erase
the previously recorded performance first (p. 41).
• Recorded performances are erased when the power is turned off.

Recording a Performance

This records only what you play on the keyboard, without using the Session
