Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs
The powerful and easy-to-use Song Creator feature lets
you record your own keyboard performances to the
user drive, floppy disk, or the optionally installed hard
disk. With multiple channels for recording, comprehen-
sive editing features, plus the use of the style and the
Multi Pads, you can record complex, fully orchestrated
pieces of music in any music style or arrangement –
from solo piano and church organ to rock band, big
band, Latin ensemble, and even a full symphony
orchestra – quickly, easily and all by yourself!
