2) To record each part separately:
You can also record the parts of your performance independently;
for example, first recording the chords and bass to the song (using
the Lower and Pedalboard), and after that recording the melody
(using the Upper Keyboard). This function also lets you record
keyboard percussion and performance control data, such as
registration changes and expression pedal operation, separately
from the other parts of the song. Even Keyboard Percussion and
Lead Voice 1 voices can be recorded separately, though, the Lead
Voice 2 voices will be included in the performance data of the
Upper Keyboard.

Set up the M.D.R. for recording, as you did in the section
above.
The first steps in recording parts separately are the same
as for normal recording on page 90:
1. Memorize all the registrations needed for your
performance to the Registration Memory numbered
buttons, and set the registration that will be used at
the beginning of the song.
2. Insert a formatted disk.
3. Select the song number to which you will record your
performance.
4. Press the RECORD button to make the Music Disk
Recorder ready to record.

Select the parts for recording.
Pressing the RECORD in the procedure 1.-4 above turns
on the all partsﾕ LEDs in the upper left row indicating
that each part is ready to record.
Press the RECORD buttons for each part in the upper
left row to turn off the parts you donﾕt want to record.
For this example, press RECORD/UPPER. The PLAY/
UPPER lamp in the upper right row lights up.
RECORD/UPPER - Records the performance data of
the Upper keyboard when turned on.
RECORD/LOWER - Records the performance data of
the Lower keyboard when turned on.
RECORD/PEDAL - Records the performance data of
the Pedalboard when turned on.
RECORD/CONTROL - Records the Control data (see
Outline of M.D.R. Operation in the previous page) when
turned on.
The LED lamps above the buttons indicate the record
status of the parts.
This example operation disables recording of the Upper
part.
