KR-55 Pro Owner's Manual
Recorder mode
The KR-55 Pro can record a variety of input sources, such as
the performance of an instrument connected to the INPUT 1
jack or INPUT 2 jack, the vocal from a mic connected to the
MIC IN jack, or an electronic instrument connected to the
AUX IN jack.
The recorded data is saved in 44.1 kHz/16-bit stereo WAV
format on an SD card inserted in the SD card slot.
You can record up to 50 songs on an SD card inserted in the
SD card slot. However in some cases, the number of songs
that can be recorded might be less than 50 depending on the
length of the recorded songs and on the capacity of the SD
card.
For additional details on basic operation, refer to "Registering
a rhythm variation and tempo to the [M1]–[M8] buttons" on
page 18.
If the display shows an error message such as Crd - bSy
(Card-Busy) or "Err-Crd-***" (Error Card ***) during
playback or recording, please format the card (see page
7 "Formatting (initializing) an SD card").
The KR-55 Pro provides the following functions that are
useful when recording.
• A "metronome function" that lets you sound the
metronome during recording in the time signature and
tempo that you specify.
• A "count start function" that inserts a two-measure count
when you start recording.
• A "mark function" that lets you register a location within a
song, and recall that location when you record.
• A "loop-playback and region-record function" that lets
you loop-playback or record in a region between specified
marks.
These functions are explained in depth in the "Recorder
mode" section.

This lets you sound the metronome during recording in the
time signature and tempo that you specify. In Recorder mode

Additionally, in Recorder mode only the metronome can be
used.
Other operation is the same as in Rhythm mode.
Tip: The sound of the metronome is not recorded when you
record while the metronome is playing.
