Recording Your Performance - Roland ep-97 Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual
5. Recording your performance
You can record what you play on your piano.
Note: When you record, pay attention to the setting of the
[Tempo] knob. Be sure to set it to the tempo at which you
wish to record.
Note: Only one song can be recorded on the ep-97/77. If a
previously recorded performance exists, it will be erased the
moment you begin recording another performance.
Note: Your song will be erased as soon as you switch off
your ep-97/77.
Note: After approximately 5,000 notes have been recorded,
the [Play] buttons and [Rec] button's indicators will go
out, and recording will end automatically.
