NOTES
• You can change the tone and rhythm while recording is in progress. Any
changes you make become part of the recorded data.
• The tempo you use for recording does not affect the tempo of the play-
back. This means you can record at a very slow tempo for easy play,
and then speed up the tempo for playback.
• If you are using a rhythm pattern, notes are recorded using the meter
(time) of the rhythm pattern. If you are not using a rhythm pattern, you
must set the meter yourself using the procedure under "Meter (3)" on
page E-46.
• The following procedure shows the most basic operations for real-time
recording to Track 1. For other variations, see "Track 1 Real-time Re-
cording Variations" on this page.

NOTES
• Real-time recording to a track that already contains data replaces the
previous recording with the new one.
• If you make a mistake while recording, you can either record over again
from step 1, or you can use punch-in recording (page E-42) to correct
them.
• If you change the rhythm pattern part way through real-time recording,
the meter value indicated on the display remains unchanged, even if
the new rhythm has a different meter.
