Note that you can also select "REC TRACK RHYTHM"
(PLAY TRACK SELECT "15" button) or "REC TRACK
MULTI" at this stage. These functions will be described in the
"Recording a Rhythm Track" and "Multi-Timbre Recording"
sections beginning on page 12 and 13.
Obviously, the most logical approach to track selection is to
start with the accompaniment tracks (bass, chords, rhythm,
etc.) which should be recorded on track 3 and above. Record
the melody (piano) part last on tracks 1 and 2.
Note: It's best to record parts that will be played back using the
Clavinova voices (i.e. the piano part) on tracks 1 and 2. If the
SEND CHANNEL switch is set to "1-2," the DOM-30 internal
tone generator will not sound at the same time as the
Clavinova voice when recording or rehearsing these tracks.
. Release the RECORD Button to Activate RECORD
READY
When you release the RECORD button the DOM-30 will enter
the RECORD READY mode — The REC button indicator will
be lit and the START/STOP button indicator will be flashing.

. Set the Desired Tempo
Use the NO < and > YES buttons or number buttons to set
the desired tempo. The selected tempo will be displayed on the
LCD panel in beats per minute (the range is from 32 to 280
beats per minute), and the metronome will sound at the
corresponding tempo.

Note: The "standard" tempo of 120 beats per minute can be
recalled at any time when the tempo display is showing by
pressing both the NO 4 and > YES buttons at the same
time. If one or more tracks of the current song have already
been recorded, pressing the NO 4 and B YES buttons recalls
the original tempo of the song.
. Select the Desired Time Signature
If you want to record in standard 4/4 time you can skip this step
since the DOM-30 is automatically set to 4/4 time whenever it
is turned ON. If you want to record in 3/4, 2/4 or 6/8 time,
however, the "BEAT" function will have to be set as follows.
First, select the BEAT function by holding down the FUNCTION
button and pressing the BEAT/4 button.

Then, use the NO < and > YES buttons to select the desired
time signature.

Note: The BEAT function (time signature) can only be set before
recording the first track in a new song.
Note: If you have any special settings you need to make on your
keyboard before recording — volume, effects, etc. — make
them after activating the DOM-30 RECORD READY mode.
This causes settings which are also transmitted as MIDI
messages to be recorded so that these same settings are
automatically reinstated when the recording is played back
10. Play
Recording will begin automatically as soon as the first note is
played on the keyboard.* You can also start recording by press-
ing the START/STOP button. Both the RECORD and START/
STOP button indicators will be lit continuously while recording.
The current measure number will be shown on the LCD display
as you record.
0002 3-120 |c>] 0003 J =120
ry | 0004 J=120 | cD ETC.
There are no special recording requirements. Simply play on the
keyboard as you normally do.
* MIDI Information: If you're familiar with MIDI, you might be
interested to know that this is because the DOM-30 is set up to
start recording the instant a MIDI KEY ON message is received.
Recording also starts if a MIDI START command (FA in hex-
adecimal) is received, but this function can be turned on or off as
desired — see the "REMOTE IN" function in the "MIDI CONTROL"
section on page 18.
Note: If the rhythm accompaniment of a Clavinova connected to
the DOM-30 MIDI OUT connector starts playback at the
same time, set the REMOTE OUT function described on page
18 to "Off."
11. Stop Recording
Press the RECORD button or the START/STOP button to
stop recording.* At this point the RECORD button indicator
will flash and the DOM-30 will ask you whether you want to
store the data you just recorded to the floppy disk.
STORE THIS DATA ?
If you think the recording went OK and you do want to store
the data, press the > YES button. The "NOW Working"
display will appear while the data is being written to the disk.
If you want to cancel the recording, simply press the NO «4
button (if you press NO 4 any previous data on the current 10
track will be left untouched).
