Recording Selected Track Buttons - Roland FP-2 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3 Recording a Performance

■ Recording Selected Track buttons

FP-2's Recorder has three Track buttons.
When you press the [Rec] button, all Track buttons are set to be recorded,
but by selecting Track buttons that are not to be recorded, you can then
record only on the specific Track buttons you want.
For example, you can record each hand's performance to different Track
buttons, or record over only certain Track buttons in a previously recorded
performance.

indicator light for the Track button, whether the [Start/Stop],

recorded.

flashes, and the FP-2 is put into recording standby.

With the FP-2 in standby, go on to record the performance
according to the procedures as described in "Recording a
Performance" (p. 34), "Recording a Performance Using
Session Partner" (p. 35), starting from Step 3.
The performance is not recorded only to the Track buttons whose indicator
was turned off.
Recording along with internal songs
You can also record your own performance as you play along with the
internal piano songs.
When recording to specific Track buttons, the sounds on the selected Track
buttons are not played. For example, you can record what you are playing
with your right hand as you listen to the left-hand part.
