MIDI Recording — Independent Tracks
MIDI
With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 tracks by
recording your performance to each track one by one. In recording a piano
piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to Track 1 then record
the left-hand part to Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may
be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with
Rhythm playback, for example, record Rhythm playback, then record melodies
to Track 1 while listening to the already recorded Rhythm playback. In this way,
you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even
impossible, to play live.
Example:
1 2 3 4
Left-hand part
Right-hand part
When you want to record a new track of an already recorded
MIDI Song:
After step 1 on page 55, select the target MIDI Song (steps 1 – 4 on pages 45 – 46).
Press and hold the [REC] button for a second to call up the display which lists the
Recording Target Songs, select the 4th item (the selected MIDI Song), press the [>]
button, and then go to step 2 on this page.
1.
Execute the same operations as in step 1 and step 2 on
page 55 to enter the Recording mode with a new blank
Song selected.
2.
Use the [<]/[>] buttons to select a Recording Track.
Rhythm cannot be added to a recorded Song. When you want to record
Rhythm, make sure to record the Rhythm playback first.
When you want to record the right-hand part, highlight "R" (Track 1).
When you want to record the left-hand part, highlight "L" (Track 2).
Alternately, when you want to record your performance to Tracks 3 – 16,
call up the desired one by pressing the [<]/[>] buttons repeatedly.
If the Rhythm playback was recorded first before other tracks, it is
automatically recorded to one of the Tracks 9 – 11 (or all the three tracks).
If this is the case, select the desired track for recording from any except
for these tracks.

recording to the MIDI Song in
the USB flash drive, refer to
"MIDI Recording to the USB

NOTE
Because bass accompaniment
of the Rhythm sounds only
when playing the keyboard, in
order to record the bass
accompaniment, it is
necessary to record keyboard
performance with it as well.
