Yamaha QY-300 Owner's Manual page 33

QY300 realtime recording
is "replace" recording,
meaning that any previous
data in the a track will be erased
and replaced when new data is re-
corded to that track. This is in con-
trast to "overdub" recording in
which new data is recorded over the
existing data and the existing data
remains intact. In the QY300 step
recording, described later, allows
new material to be added to a track
without erasing the previous data.
You can also use the "Mix Track"
job (page 50) to mix data from two
tracks and place the result on a sin-
gle track.
See the "Editing Songs &
Phrases" section, page
104, for information on
how to edit recorded song data.
