After several seconds, the previous screen will
return to the display.
Note: When "Full Auto" or "Tempo Lock" has been
selected (see page 43), the type of Melody Intelligence
that is set may vary according to the Style.
Note: Please note that not all harmony voices will be
played at all times, which is usually due to the fact that
you play extremely high or low notes.

8.1. Recording
Normal recording
The KR-75 also features a "Composer" that func-
tions like a tape recorder but is, of course, digital.
You can record your own songs, as well as play
songs using commercially available music data.
Please be aware that the Composer records instruc-
tions (called MIDI messages) rather than sounds.
That explains why you cannot record your singing
or any other part picked up using the microphone.
You can store one song at a time. During recording,
the data is automatically separated and recorded
onto five separate tracks.

What is a track?
On devices like tape recorders, sounds that are
played back via the left speaker and those that are
played back via the right speaker are recorded onto
separate places on tape. These "places" are called
"tracks". As you see, your KR-75 provides five
tracks in Normal mode, i.e. five places where MIDI
messages can be recorded. The advantage of work-
ing with tracks is that you can re-record or change
(edit) just one part (on one track) while listening to
the other tracks.
Let's record something
1. Press the [REC] button.
The Composer goes into standby mode. The [REC]
indicator lights, while the [PLAY] indicator flashes.
The tracks onto which the performance is recorded
are selected automatically, and the track button's
indicator will flash.
In Whole Keyboard mode, you can record onto any
track except the Rhythm track. In that case, the
track whose button was last pressed will be the
recording track.
Note: If a disk has been inserted into the disk drive, or
after playing back a song on disk, you need to press the
[SONG] button to bring up the Song Select screen.
Select <U: User Song> and press the [REC] button.
. Begin recording.
When you are ready to record the melody of a
song with Arranger backing, start Style playback
(see "Starting a Music Style" on page 24), and
recording begins.
To record a piano or organ piece without accom-
paniment, press the [PLAY] button.
Note: Remember that you can use the Rhythm section
when playing a piano or organ piece. If that is what you
want to do, see the preceding bullet.
Two measures of count-in will sound, after which
recording will begin. The [PLAY] indicator now
lights.
. When the song is finished, press the [STOP] or [RESET] but-
ton.
The indicator on the button for the track on which
the performance was recorded will light.
Note: Recording vill also stop if you stop the Style (see
above) by pressing either the [INTRO/ENDING] or the
[START/STOP] button.
Note: It is also possible to keep the Composer from deac-
tivating the Record Standby mode whenever you stop
recording. See "Recording Mode" on page 35.
