sponding to the accompaniment track you want to record while holding the
RECORDING section [REC] button. (If the selected track contains no pre-
set data, "IllegalOperation" will appear on the LCD display and the custom
REC
accompaniment record ready mode cannot be engaged.) Both the [REC]
and track indicators will flash and, if you've selected a preset accompani-
ment style on which to base your custom accompaniment (not number
"00"), the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will light and the PSR-1700/PSR-
NO
2700 will ask "Are you sure?" (see NOTES, below). Press the [YES] button
if you want to go ahead with the record procedure, thus erasing the previous
contents of the custom accompaniment. This engages the record ready
mode for the specified track. If the OVERALL CONTROL section [MET-
RONOME] button indicator is lit, the metronome will sound at the cur-
rently selected tempo. Press [NO] to cancel the operation and preserve the
contents.
NOTES
If necessary, select the voice you want to record with, and set a comfort-
able recording tempo.
NOTES
Recording will begin as soon as you press the ACCOMPANIMENT
FADE IN/OUT
CONTROL section [START/STOP] button or play a chord or note on the
keyboard. The accompaniment will play repeatedly, and you can add new
material to the selected track by playing on the keyboard.
During recording you can clear a track if you want to record new mate-
rial from scratch: press the TRACK button corresponding to the track you
want to clear while holding the [CLEAR] button. Individual notes, includ-
2
ing Keyboard Percussion instruments, can be cleared by pressing the appro-
priate key while holding the [CLEAR] button.

• If you select a style number other than "00" on which to base
your custom accompaniment, the selected style is copied to the
custom accompaniment being recorded as soon as the record
ready mode is engaged and the [YES] button is pressed, thus
erasing all previous custom accompaniment data.
• When the built-in preset style data is copied to custom style number
00, "@" will be shown at the beginning of the custom style name on
the LCD display.
• Auto Accompaniment, Auto Harmony, and Effect are turned OFF, the
R1 orchestration part is selected, and the [EDIT] button is disabled
when the custom accompaniment record ready mode is engaged.
• If a track containing rhythm data is specified for recording, Keyboard
Percussion is automatically turned on.
• When the record-ready mode for the selected track is engaged, other
track(s) of the corresponding section having no accompaniment style
data will automatically be turned off.
• A track that does not contain data in any section (the track indicator is
off) cannot be used for custom accompaniment recording.
• The specified voice parameters can be changed later by using the
REWRITE SETTING and REVOICE functions (pages 55 and 34).
