Recording Melody and Chord Parts
As with the bass part, record these after selecting the parts and tones in the 16-Track

When the chords and melody are recorded, the song is complete. If you want to make
the song even fancier or more fully developed, you can record ornamental phrases,
percussion parts, and so on.
When you select a part that already has material recorded on it and then proceed with record-
NOTE
ing, then the previously recorded material is replaced by the newly-recorded material from the
point where the new recording starts to where it stops.
When you want to listen to a part of the recorded performance, use rewind and fast forward to
go the part you want to hear, and then play back the song from there (p.28).
If you just want to record over a section of the song, move to the point you want to do over and
begin recording there. If you press the [Count In] button while in record standby, the button`s
indicator goes off, and you can begin recording after the two measures leading up to the current
location are played back.

after Changing Instrument Sounds or Making Other Changes" (p.56).
You can record over sections specified using markers or the pedal. Please refer to "Recording
Certain Segments Over Again" (p.70).
By connecting a Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal (sold separately) to the Expression Pedal jack on

can adjust the volume with the Expression Pedal of parts selected in the 16-Track screen (p.17).
If you connect an optionally available Roland DP-2 Pedal Switch to the Start/Stop jack on the
unit's rear panel, you will be able to use the pedal to start and stop recording (p.17, 98).
