Your EXR-46 OR contains a 16-track Recorder you can use for recording your own songs.

Basic song recording

Let us first look at the most straight-forward way of recording
your renditions with Arranger backing.
(1) Press the [ARRANGER¥BAND] button.
ARRANGER
BAND
The icon appears. You can now use your left
ARRANGER
hand for transposing the Arranger's key in realtime.
(2) Press the [STYLE] button and select a Music Style (or select
a Music Assistant memory).
(3) Select the desired Arranger division by pressing [INTRO],
[ORIGINAL] or [VARIATION].
(4) Press the [START÷STOP] button.
(5) Use [TAP¥TEMPO] or the [–][+] buttons to set desired tempo.
(6) Press [START÷STOP] again to stop Arranger playback.
(7) Assign the desired Tone to the right half of the keyboard.
Press [TONE] and use the FAMILY & SELECT [√][®] buttons, the
numeric buttons or the buttons in the USER TONES section.
See also page 30.
(8) Press the [REC¥∏] button.
RE-START
G REC
The display should look as shown above (if it doesn't, use the
FAMILY [√][®] buttons ("REC MODE") to select REC ALL):
(The [RECORD≈∏] and [1]~[16] icons flash.) You are now in ALL
mode, which means that everything you and the
EXR-46 OR's Arranger play will be recorded.

Note: If you select "REC ALL" with the FAMILY buttons, the song
in the EXR-46 OR's USERSONG memory is erased. You may
want to save the current song first (see p. 49). If you only
pressed [REC¥∏], the EXR-46 OR selects the Single mode if the
USERSONG memory already contains data. See page 24 for
details about that mode.
(9) Start recording in one of the following ways:
• Press the [START÷STOP] button to start Arranger playback
with the selected Division.
The [V-LINK] button now flashes to indicate the tempo and
beats (BEAT function).
Note: If you start recording without the Arranger and want to
bring it in at a later stage, it would be a good idea to switch on
the metronome by pressing the [METRONOME] button.
• Activate the [SYNC¥START] function and press one or several
keys to the left of the Split point.
Note: It is also possible to record in PIANO SOLO mode (after
pressing the button of the same name). In that case, you should
definitely use the metronome. The song's time signature can be
set with the MetroTS function. See page 14.
(10) Stop recording in one of the following ways:
• Press [START÷STOP].
BEAT
• Press the [ENDING] button to start the Ending phrase. As
soon as it ends, Arranger playback and song recording stop.
