Recording Your Performance; Quick Recording; Recording Independently To Two Parts - Yamaha P-105 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

You can record your keyboard performance as a User Song in SMF format. Up to two Parts (L and R) can be
recorded separately.
NOTICE
• Note that the Recording operation will replace the already
recorded data with the new data, since only one User Song
is available. Before recording, check the [PLAY] lamp
lights (data available) or not (no data). If you save the
recorded data, transfer it to the computer as a SMF file. For
details, refer to "Computer-related Operations" (page 4).

Quick Recording

1
Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.
Because some of the settings cannot be changed
after the Record mode is engaged, make the set-
tings according to your performance preferences.
For example, if you want to record your perfor-
mance with a Pianist Style, turn on [PIANIST
STYLE].
2
Press the [REC] to engage Record
Ready mode.
The [REC] lamp will flash according to the cur-
rent tempo. If necessary, set the tempo (page 15).
NOTE
• You cannot engage Record mode while a song is playing.
• You can use the Metronome/Rhythm while recording; however, the Met-
ronome/Rhythm sound will not be recorded. When you record the Pia-
nist Style performance, the Metronome/Rhythm cannot be played back
while recording.
3
Play the keyboard or press [PLAY] to
start recording.
The [REC] lamp lights up while the [PLAY] lamp
flashes at the current tempo.
Play the keyboard and record your performance.
