in/out)
The GW-7 has one temporary song memory location (Sng00).
This is the memory location that is used when you record a
song—it is erased when you switch off the GW-7's power. If
you don't want to lose the song, you must save it in a user song
memory location (Sng01–Sng99). (p. 22)
For the first recording, "SINGLE" is selected automatically. Be
aware that if you choose "ALL" or "KBD," the temporary song
(Sng00) will be erased. If you want to record additional material
to an existing song, you must choose "SINGLE" or "PUNCH."
If the temporary song (Sng00) contains no data, you can't select
"SINGLE" or "PUNCH."
You can't record a song while the GW-7 is synchronized to an
external MIDI device.
