Realtime Recording - Yamaha SY99 Owner's Manual

SONG MODE
If you are using an external MIDI sequencer
and want the SY99's sequencer to play in
synchronization with it, set this to MIDI so that
MIDI clock messages received at MIDI IN will
determine the tempo.
Recording mode (Real, Step, Pnch): Press F1,F2
or F3 to select the recording mode.
Realtime recording (press F1): Notes will be
recorded at the exact time you play them.
Step recording (press F2): Notes will be
recorded one by one with the specified time
value, regardless of the actual timing with which
you play.
Punch-in recording (press F3): The same as
realtime recording except that recording will take
place only over the measures specified by
From Meas and To Meas.
Overdub/Replace (Over, Rplc): This determines
how newly recorded data will be added to the
track.

recording by pressing F4, notes you record will
be added to the data already in the track. The
track will then contain both the old and new
data. If step recording has been selected in
overdub recording will automatically be selected.
In punch record mode, overdub recording can not
be selected.
Replace recording: If you select replace
recording by pressing F5, notes you record will
