Recording a Song (Simultaneously recording the Style and realtime performance)

RECORDING A SONG
(Simultaneously recording the Style and
realtime performance)
The Backing Sequence mode is a fast and effective way
of recording a new Song, making full use of the fea‐
tures of the Style Play mode. So, arm your recorder,
and play live with the Styles—a song will be ready in
seconds!
1 First, enter Backing Sequence mode
Press B.SEQ to access the Backing Sequence mode. The
Realtime tracks, on the keyboard, will remain the same
as you selected in the Style Play mode.
Don't worry about this display: it's something you
don't need to learn at this point. You may find more
information on it, going to the Reference Guide (see
"Backing Sequence operating mode" on page 82).
This is the Backing Sequence Play page, where you can
load, play or save a Song.
2 Now, press RECORD.
You are prompted to select either the Realtime record‐
ing mode, or the Chord/Acc Step recording mode.
3 Select the Realtime recording mode.
Simply press one of the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons.
The Record page appears.
4 If you think the selected Style is not what you
like for your backing tracks, select a different
one.
(see "Selecting a Style" on page 26). Here is a fast
reminder:
1. Select one of the Style rows in the STYLE section,
using the leftmost button.
2. Select one of the Style Banks, by pressing one of
the buttons of the STYLE section.
3. Select one of the pages, using the PAGE buttons.
4. Select a Style, using the VOLUME/VALUE (A–H)
buttons.
The Style Bank and number appear after the "Style"
parameter in the display.
5 And what about changing the Performance or
Single Touch Setting?
(see "Selecting a Performance" on page 25, or "Select‐
ing a Single Touch Setting (STS)" on page 26). Here is a
short recap for the Performances:
1. Press the PERFORM button to set the PROGRAM/
PERFORMANCE section act as a Performance
selector.
2. Select one of the Performance Banks, by pressing
one of the buttons of the PROGRAM/PERFOR‐
MANCE section.
3. Select a Performance, using the VOLUME/VALUE
(A–H) buttons.
...and for the Single Touch Settings (STS):
• Press one of the SINGLE TOUCH SETTING but‐
tons.
6 Ok, now we can go.
As you see, both the RT track and the Ch/Acc track are
in RECord mode. This means you can start recording
everything you play in a realtime performance with the
Styles.
PRESS START/STOP
WAIT FOR THE PRECOUNT TO REACH BAR 1
AND BEGIN PLAYING!
7 Play as if you were playing live.
You can do exactly what you do when playing with the
Styles: select a different Style, Performance, STS, differ‐
ent Variation, a Fill, and Ending...
You can even start your recording with an Intro: just
press one of the INTRO buttons before pressing
START/STOP to start recording.
8 Stop the Song.
To stop the Song, press either START/STOP or one of
the ENDING buttons. The Song will stop, but the
Recording will still be on. So, you can start with
another Song to be recorded in the same session (go
back to step 6, if you like).
Otherwise, finish the Recording. Now for going to the
next step.
