Adding data to or recording over
an existing song
The previous section explains how to record your per-
formance from the beginning by selecting a blank "P-
000:NewSong." You can also add data from your play-
ing to or overwrite existing songs (such as preset songs
[P-001—016], commercially-available music data, or
your old recorded performances).

Select a song for recording (P-***).
Select one of the preset songs (P-001—016) instead
of "P-000: NewSong" as described in Step 1 of
"Recording" on . To select a song from previ-

ously-recorded data, see Steps 1 and 2 on page 51.
To continue recording, follow the procedure described
in "Recording a New Song" on page 47.
NOTE
If you record on a track that already contains data, the exist-
ing data on the track will be lost.
