Explanation
(Bold: default)
The new performance is layered onto the prerecorded tracks.
If overdubbing is repeated, the next performance is layered on top of the previous material,
allowing you to create an ensemble in a single track.
Tracks with existing recordings are overwritten as new tracks are recorded over them.
Overwriting takes places while the previously recorded tracks are played back, allowing you
to achieve a kind of delay effect similar to that obtained from an effects processor.
Operation will switch in the order of Recording 0 Overdubbing 0 Playback.
Operation will switch in the order of Recording 0 Playback 0 Overdubbing.
Recording begins the instant you perform the operation.
When you stop recording, it is quantized to match the measure.

Recording will begin the instant you press the [REC/PLAY] switch.
When you press the [REC/PLAY] switch, the REC/PLAY indicator will blink rapidly, and the
RC-500 will enter recording-standby mode.
When you begin playing, the REC/PLAY indicator will light and recording will start.
