Chapter 4. Recording Your Performance

You can easily record your performances.
A recorded performance can be played back to hear your own playing, or to add
additional parts.
The following types of recording can be done using the HP107.
• Recording just your own keyboard performance (→ "Recording a New Song" p.
37)
• Recording along with a built-in song (→ "Recording Along with a Song" p. 38)
• Recording each hand separately (→ "Selecting and Recording the Track for Each
Hand Separately" p. 39)

■ Notes regarding recording

• Only one song can be recorded.
• The HP107 includes a "Song Backup function" (p. 45), which allows you to store
the song recorded with the HP107 in the instrument itself. Recorded
performance that have not been backed up with Song Backup is erased with the
power is turned off. Be sure to use Song Backup for any performance you want
to keep. You can either record it on an external audio device, or use an external
MIDI device to save the performance data on a floppy disk. For details, refer to
"Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices" (p. 47).
