This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly
record your performance—useful, for example, in recording solo
piano pieces. You can record to the [TRACK 1 (R)] or [TRACK 2
(L)] button, and also to the [EXTRA TRACKS (STYLE)] track,
which can be used for recording at the same time.
This lets you record a whole Song including several different
instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra.
Record the performance of each instrument part one by one
and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record
over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or
a Song on an external device, such as SmartMedia card) with
your own performance.
This method lets you compose your performance by "writing"
it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual
recording method – similar to writing music notation onto
paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by
one (realtime performance is not needed).
