MIDI Recorder (Tutorial)

Recording to a Specific Song
Performance Part
(Track Recording)
You can record specific instruments, the left hand and
right hand, or other parts of a song individually, and
then combine them into a final song.
■ What is a track?
A "track" is a separate recorded part of a song. The
MIDI Recorder of this Digital Keyboard has a total of
17 tracks, one of which is a system track as described
below.
 System Track
In addition to notes you play on the keyboard and
other performance operation data, the system track
also includes a wide range of setup information for
the song, including layer on/off, split on/off, tempo,
Auto Accompaniment settings, reverb type, etc.
Recording to the system track is performed using the
recording method described in the Digital
Keyboard's USER'S GUIDE (Basics).
 Tracks 01 through 16
These tracks can be used to record notes, as well as
pitch bend wheel and pedal operations, and the
keyboard tone setting. These tracks can be combined
with the system track and each other to create the
final song.
