Start recording.
The SONG CONTROL [REC] button (that flashes before recording) lights continuously after recording starts. Below
are details on how recording can be started.
G Recording starts as soon as you play a key on the keyboard.
• When turning the [ACMP] and the [SYNC START] on, style playback and recording start simultaneously as soon
as a chord is played in the style chord section of the keyboard (the left side of the split point).
• When turning the [ACMP] on and the [SYNC START] off, recording starts as soon as a chord is played in the
style chord section of the keyboard (the left side of the split point) with the Stop Accompaniment (page 33).
G Recording starts by pressing the SONG CONTROL [START/STOP] button.
If you start recording in this way, "empty" data is recorded until you play a note on the keyboard. This is useful
for creating a measure or two of silence at the top of a song. It can also be used for starting a song with a short one-
or two-beat pick-up or lead-in.
• The rhythm parts (channels) of style playback and recording start simultaneously by pressing the STYLE CON-
TROL [START/STOP] button.
G Multi Pad playback and recording start simultaneously as soon as you press any of the Multi Pads.

song and stopping it when desired, or you can record continuously all the way to the end of the song.
