Recording L/R Songs
This chapter describes how to record an L/R song. With L/R songs, you can operate the left-hand part and
right-hand part independent of each other.

L/R Songs

In an L/R song, the left-hand piano part is stored
on track 1 and the right-hand piano part is stored
on track 2. Track 1 uses MIDI channel 1, and
track 2 uses MIDI channel 2.
L/R songs can be recorded in one of two ways: by
recording your left- and right-hand parts
separately or by setting a split point on the
keyboard before recording.
L/R songs can also be recorded with a pedal
count-in. A four-handed piano composition can be
recorded as an L/R song.
You can record your song onto Memory Disks or
a floppy disk.
Note: You cannot record songs to a CD.
Recording the Left and
Right Parts Separately
When recording an L/R song, the left- and right-
hand parts can be recorded separately. Either part
can be recorded first, and the pedals can be
recorded with either part (the default setting is the
part recorded first).
While you record the second part, the first part
will play back for monitoring. This playback
monitor function can be turned off if not required.
If the left-hand or right-hand part is difficult to
play at normal speed, the first part can be
recorded at a slow tempo, and then the tempo
changed afterwards to record the second part at
the normal song speed.
See "Changing the Default Song Tempo" on page
26.

will be No. 7.
