Memory Capacity - Radio Shack MD-1700 Owner's Manual

tracks, and you can use them for recording a
secondary melody that includes keyboard
play.
Because each track is independent of the
others, you can add a track while listening to
the tracks you recorded previously, and you
only need to re-record a single track if you
make a mistake while recording on it.
The keyboard stores data for each of the fol-
lowing characteristics in the song sequencer
memory:
• notes played on the keyboard
• initial tone setting and any change made
thereafter
• pitch bend operation
• modulation operation
• pedal operation (when you use it)
In addition to the previous data, Track 1 car-
ries the following data:
• initial rhythm pattern and any change
made thereafter
• INTRO, SYNCHRO/ENDING,
MAL/FILL-IN, and VARIATION/FILL-IN
operation
• chord played on the accompaniment
keyboard (real-time recording)
• chord specifications (punch-in record-
ing)
The following data are not recorded:
• touch response on/off setting
• one-touch preset operation
• registration memory operation
• free session
• layer, split, and auto harmonize settings
The following data are set one time only:
• Tempo — The setting at the beginning
of the recording is applied all through
the recording. You cannot change tempo
while recording.
• Mixer (Channel 11–16) — You can
make the setting at the beginning of the
recording
change the setting after the recording is
complete. The setting in effect during
record standby mode is the one
recorded.
There are two modes for the song sequencer
— record/playback mode for recording and
playing back, and global mode that sets the
following on all the tracks:
• metronome setting
• song delete
• meter setting
• initial tempo value
• quantize setting after recording

MEMORY CAPACITY

Your keyboard's memory can store a total of
about 4,900 notes. If the remaining memory
is less than 100 notes, the measure and beat
numbers flash. When the memory becomes
full, recording automatically stops (auto-ac-
companiment or rhythm stops playing, if
used).
Notes about Memory Contents:
• When you record on a track that con-
tains data, the new recording replaces
the previous recording.
• The keyboard comes with a built-in lith-
ium battery that supplies power to the
memory to retain song sequencer, pat-
tern sequencer and other data while
keyboard power is turned off. If the bat-
