Convenient Functions
Recording and Playing Back
Performances of Specific
Instruments (16 Track)
The HPi-6S lets you record 16 separate parts. Multitrack recording is a
method of recording whereby you listen to what has previously been
recorded while recording new parts on top of that material.
By recording a different tone to each part, you can create song data
for performances that feature up to 16 different tones layered
together.
The function used for recording the 16 individual parts one at a time is
called the "16-track sequencer."

16-Track Sequencer and the Track Buttons
In addition to the "16-Track Sequencer" function, the "Track Buttons"
(p. 60) are another of the unit's playing/recording functions.
These "track buttons" group the 16-track sequencer's 16 parts with
five buttons. Using the 16-track sequencer to work with performances
recorded with the track buttons allows you to record even more
sounds and edit with precision.
The track buttons correspond to the 16-track sequencer's parts as
shown below.

[R/Rhythm]
[1/User]
[2/Accomp]
[3/Left]
[4/Right]
Each of the 16-track sequencer's parts is used for recording a single
tone, so you cannot use it to record tones that combine two tones
simultaneously, as in Dual (p. 57) and Split (p. 58) performances.
You can also change the tones in each part, select specific parts for
playback (solo), and prevent specified parts from playing (mute).
Playback with only a single part muted is called "Minus One."
You can even set solo and muting during playback.
→ Part 11 of Roland SMF music file that is available for purchase is

correspondence of other parts to the track buttons is the same.
