Prepare for Recording
Make the following preparations for recording.
1: Select the song that you want to record
Select the song that you want to record (p. 56).
If you want to record a new song, select a blank song (INIT SONG).
2: Select the tone that you want to record
Edit the studio set so that the tones you want to use for recording
are selected on each track (p. 44).
So that the tones you selected for recording are remembered, it's a
good idea to save the studio set (p. 45).
*
If you don't save the studio set at the time of recording, playback
will occur using the tones that were previously saved.
3: Specify the time signature of the song
The time signature is typically set to 4/4 time.
If you want to use any other time signature, set the desired time
signature (p. 73).
