Recording piano music
Parts you can record during your first "session":
TRACK A ("one-shot")
TRACK B (can be overwritten)
Upper! -and/or-
Upper2 -or-
M. Orums
Acc. Drums (Arranger)
Upper 1 and/or 2
Select this method when you want to record piano
music, or for any other type of song that requires the
use of only one sound for the entire keyboard. Again,
what is recorded onto Track "A" cannot be replaced
without overwriting the entire song. Here, however,
you can add a second Upperl and/or Upper2 part
(Track "B") to the one(s) on track "A", The most obvi-
ous use for this function is to record the left-hand
part of a piano piece the first time around, and the
right hand-part using 2nd TRACK. If you like, you
can add a drum accompaniment to your playing.
Note: The Upper part(s) you add using the 2nd TRACK
function (Track "B") will use the same Tone(s) as the parts
on track "A".
First recording pass
1. Press the [STYLE/SONG] button and check
whether the display contains the

ton so that neither the

[UPPER 1/2] button.
If you like, you can layer the Upperl & Upper2 parts
by pressing [INTEL/LAYER] until the LAYER icon
appears.

8. Start recording in one of the following ways:
a) Play the first melody notes. This will start the
recording without the Arranger drums. You can add
them whenever you like by pressing [START/STOP].
The drums will then start at the next downbeat.
Note: If you start recording without the Arranger drums
and want to bring them in at a later stage, it would be a
good idea to switch on the metronome.
b) Press the [START/STOP] button to start Arranger
drum playback with the selected Division.
C) Press [SYNC START] to activate this function, and
play one or several notes. The Arranger drums will
start in sync with your first notes.
9. Stop recording in one of the following ways:
a) If you started recording using methods (b) or (c)
above, press [START/STOP]
to stop both the Arranger
and recording.
b) Press [REC] again.
C) Press the [ENDING] button to start the Ending
phrase. As soon as it ends, recording stops.
Listening to your song
Press the [START/STOP] button to listen to your
song. See also page 30.
Second recording pass
Operations are the same as for recordings made with
the Arranger, so please see page 30. Here, you can add
more Upper1/2 part notes to the ones already record-
ed onto track "A", or add some live drums using the
M.Drums part.
Recording live drums
Parts you can record during your first "session":
TRACK A ("one-shot")
TRACK B (can be overwritten)
Upper1 -and/or—
Upper2 -or-
M. Drums
Acc. Drums (Arranger)
M.Drums
Select this method to record a live drum part using
the EM-50/30's M.Drums function (see page 27).
What is recorded onto Track "A" cannot be replaced
without overwriting the entire song, so be sure to get
your first (or all) drum notes right. You can, however,
add more drum notes using the 2nd TRACK function
— or add a melody-cum-chords to your drum track.
Feel free to use the Arranger's drum part as rhythmic
backbone during the first recording pass.
First recording pass
