Chapter 4 Try Out Some Handy Functions
™@ Recording a Performance
The RA-30 has a Recorder function that makes it possible for you to store your Style Play
and Tone Play performances. This works just like recording with a tape recorder, and
makes it easy to record your performances on the RA-30.
Unlike a tape recorder, however, the Recorder function offers special features that you
can't get from a tape recorder. For instance, you can increase the tempo without raising
the pitch, and you can listen to a recorded performance over and over with no loss in
sound quality.
*
The RA-30 can record only one song. When you make a new recording, any previously record-
ed song is discarded.
A song recorded on the RA-30 is preserved in memory even while the poter is off.
Any song that has been recorded will be discarded if you restore the unit to its factory defaults.
