Part Status

The playback and record status for the RIGHT/ LEFT Parts and the Style are displayed at the
bottom of the LCD screen. Whether you are in the process of recording or playing back your song
it is helpful to know the status for each of these Parts.
The LCD screen will show the following Part status messages at the bottom of the screen:
REC This Part is ready to be recorded. This message is only displayed after the REC button
has been pressed.
PLAY This Part has been recorded and will be heard both on playback and while recording.
MUTE This Part has been recorded but will be silent both on playback and while recording.
--- This part has not been recorded.
After you have recorded a song you can change the status of a Part by pressing the appropriate button,
F3-7 below the LCD screen. Pressing the F buttons during playback will select PLAY or MUTE. REC can
only be selected after you press the REC button but before you begin recording. During recording you
can however set any Part to PLAY or MUTE by pressing the appropriate F button.
You can record all RIGHT/LEFT Parts as well as the Style simultaneously or only certain Parts as
you choose. When you first record a song all Parts and the Style will be automatically set to REC
but only the active Parts and the Style will be recorded. When you are finished recording the
status of any active Parts and the Style will automatically change from REC to PLAY. After recording,
the status of any RIGHT/LEFT Parts that were not active during recording will be automatically
changed to - - - to show they have not been recorded yet.
When you press the PLAY/STOP button to listen to your song any Parts set to PLAY status will be
heard.
Re-recording or adding another Part
After you have recorded a song you can Re-record a Part or add (overdub) other Parts if you like
with the following procedure. Re-recording a Part completely erases the previous performance
for that Part automatically.
To Re-record or add a Part:
1) Make sure the Part(s) you wish to Re-record are active, then select any sounds or
change panel settings as desired.
