Using The User Song Recorder; I Recording - Yamaha P-120 P-120S Owner's Manual

Using the User Song Recorder

The ability to record and play back what you've played on the P-120/P-120S
keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the
left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the
recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you
could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a
duet and hear how they sound when played back. The P-120/P-120S's two-track
Song Recorder allows the recording of three User Songs.
The user song recorder actually records the following data:
I
Entire Song
G Tempo
G Effect type (including OFF)
I
Individual Tracks
G Notes played
G Dual mode voices
G Pedal Operation (sustain, soft, sostenuto, expression) G Effect depth
G Reverb depth
G Dual octave shift (F3)
