Press the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section TRACK button corre-
sponding to the accompaniment track you want to record while holding the
RECORDING section [REC] button. (If the selected track contains no pre-
set data, "IllegalOperation" will appear on the LCD display and the custom
accompaniment record ready mode cannot be engaged.) Both the [REC]
and track indicators will flash and, if you've selected a preset accompani-
ment style on which to base your custom accompaniment (not number
"00"), the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will light and the PSR-1700/PSR-
2700 will ask "Are you sure?" (see NOTES, below). Press the [YES] button
if you want to go ahead with the record procedure, thus erasing the previous
contents of the custom accompaniment. This engages the record ready
mode for the specified track. If the OVERALL CONTROL section [MET-
RONOME] button indicator is lit, the metronome will sound at the cur-
rently selected tempo. Press [NO] to cancel the operation and preserve the
contents.
If necessary, select the voice you want to record with, and set a comfort-
able recording tempo.
Recording will begin as soon as you press the ACCOMPANIMENT
CONTROL section [START/STOP] button or play a chord or note on the
keyboard. The accompaniment will play repeatedly, and you can add new
material to the selected track by playing on the keyboard.
During recording you can clear a track if you want to record new mate-
rial from scratch: press the TRACK button corresponding to the track you
want to clear while holding the [CLEAR] button. Individual notes, includ-
ing Keyboard Percussion instruments, can be cleared by pressing the appro-
priate key while holding the [CLEAR] button.
