Recorder; Recording - Williams Piano Symphony User Manual

The Symphony features a three track recorder that allows you to record what you play on the keyboard and then
play it back. Three tracks mean that you can "overdub" one part on top of another, using a different voice if you
like. The recorder feature is a useful addition to any keyboard study program since it lets you hear exactly how
you sound from the listener's perspective. It can also be just plain fun. This recorder is able to store four songs,
each with up to 3-track recording. This recorded information is nonvolatile and therefore will not be lost when
the power is turned off. All 3 tracks can playback separately or together as a complete song. The record function
records all settings exactly as you selected and performed them.
NOTE: While it is possible to record in Layer mode, you cannot record in Lower mode.

Recording

1. Prepare: Prepare to record by setting the voice, style, tempo, reverb level, or other parameters as desired.
These settings can be stored into registration memory for easy recall; please see the Registration Memory
section for more information.
2. Select a Song: Press the USER SONG button repeatedly to select a song. The LED display above the USER
SONG button will show the song number selected. This is where the recorded information will be stored.
3. Select a track: There are three tracks available for recording: one dedicated Accompaniment track and two
Melody tracks. The Accompaniment track will record only the auto accompaniment events and chords just as
they are played. The Melody tracks will record all notes. The tracks are assigned by engaging the ACCOMP,
MELODY 1 or MELODY 2 buttons. Press and hold down the REC button, then press the track button that
you want to record in. The corresponding track indicator LED will blink, and the four beat indicators will
blink with the current tempo to show that the recorder is on standby.
NOTE: If you already have a recorded track in the selected song, the track indicator LED will also be lit and the
recorded music will play as a reference for you while you record the new track. If you do not wish for previously
recorded tracks to play while you are recording, press the corresponding track button to turn the indicator light off.
