Try Recording What You Play
How to Create Recordings
Use whatever Voice you like to play whatever song you wish to
record. When completed, you will be able to listen to the
results, and check how well you played the song.
1. Select the Voice you wish to use for the recording,
then make any other selections you wish, such as for
Chorus and Reverb.
When ready, press the Rec button (its indicator will
light). This means that the instrument is in stand-by,
waiting for recording to begin.
Rec
Start playing. (Recording will start the moment the
first note is played.)
When
finished, press the Rec button again to stop
recording. The indicator should go out.
Rec
During recording, you can change to any other Voice
you wish to use.
You can record up to approximately 2,000 notes.
When the unit starts running low on memory space,
the indicator on the Rec bulton will start flashing.
If you continue recording, the Rec indicator will
begin flashing faster.
Once you reach the stage where the unit cannot
record any more, the indicator on the Rec button will
go out, and recording stops automatically.
Once you begin a new recording, all of the perfor-
mance data previously recorded will be erased. Once
erased, performance data cannot be recovered.
Now try listening to what you just recorded
Press the Play button (its indicator will light).
Play
The unit stops automatically after the song has played
through. The indicator will then go out.
(Press the Play button to stop playback at any point.)
*
The performance data that you record will disappear
about 8 hours after power has been turned off. If you
need a more permanent form of storage for your
songs, you will need to connect an external sequencer
(p. 9) and record onto that unit.
+
To manually erase all recorded performance data,
simultaneously press the Rec and Play buttons.
Playing with the Key Transposed
lf you wish, you can play the instrument with the key
'transposed.' This conveniently allows you to play ina
key that matches a vocal accompaniment, without chang-
ing your fingering on the keyboard. Transposition is also
useful when you are going to play a piece in a key other
than C, and wish to play it as if it were in the key of C.
This makes it is easier to play.
While holding down the Transpose button, press either
Piano (4) or Harpsichord ( # ) enough times to obtain the
amount of transposition you wish.

With each press, the sound is raised by 1 semitone.
(Max. of 5 semitones.)

With each press, the sound is lowered by 1 semitone.
(Max. of 6 semitones.)
Playing a piece in some other key with
the fingering of C
You need to specify which note you wish to sound when
the C key (do in the key of C) is pressed. Hold down the
Transpose button while you press the keynote for the
key you wish to transpose to (using the C-B keys in the
upper-most of the keyboard). For example, to play an E
major piece in the key of C major, you would hold down
the Transpose button while you press E (mi).
While holding

Press the keynote of the key
to which vou wish to transpose
To return to the key of C, press Piano (4) and
Harpsichord ( # ) simultaneously while holding
down the Transpose button.
The indicator on the Transpose button will remain lit
while transposition is in effect.
*
To cancel transposition, press the Transpose button
again, and confirm that its indicator has gone out.
*
Once you have set the transposition, all you need to
do to obtain the same transposition the next time is to
press the Transpose button.
*
If you have used the Key Transpose feature to raise
the pitch (by 1 to 5 semitones), the keyboard's 5 high-
est keys (al the far right) will sound one octave lower
than normal when playing organ
or string sounds.
