Recording Your Performance; Recording - Roland HP-201 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

You can record your own performance.
Listening to the playback of your recorded performance can be a helpful way for you
to evaluate your own playing.
You can also sound a count before recording starts.
This is called "count-in recording," and allows you to match the timing of the count
so that your performance will begin smoothly.

Recording

Set the tempo and time signature of the metronome before you record (p. 26, p. 27).
1.
Hold down the [SONG] button and press the [METRONOME] button.
The [SONG] button's indicator will light, and the [METRONOME] button's indicator

NOTE
The HP201 always saves the
newly recorded song and
erases the previously recorded
song. If you want to keep a
song you've recorded, you
should send the recorded song
data to a MIDI device or
computer (p. 39).
NOTE
You can't select tones or make
detailed settings, such as those
for key touch or master tuning,
while you're recording or while
you're in recording-standby
mode.
While recording or in
recording-standby mode, you
can press the [REVERB/KEY
TOUCH] button to turn reverb
on/off (p. 21).
If a recorded song has been
saved, the [TONE] button's
indicator will blink while you
press the [SONG] button.
NOTE
After you've finished recording,
don't turn off the power until all
indicators have stopped
blinking.
