Recording and Playing Back Phrases

bm
cm cn co cp
The Phrase Sequencer is a great way to record musical
phrases that suddenly pop into your mind for later
playback.
• You can record a new phrase or overdub onto an
existing phrase to create a user phrase. There is
memory for storage of up to 1,000 user phrases
(phrase number 000 to 999) for later recall when you
need them.
• In addition to what you play on the keyboard, your
pedal, wheel, knob, and slider operations are also
recorded as part of phrase. Note, however, that
pedal, modulation wheel, knob, and/or slider
operations may not be recorded when certain
functions are assigned to pedals, knobs, and/or
sliders. For more information, see the separate
"Tutorial".
• You can choose either of two different playback
options: one-time playback (loop off) or repeat
playback (loop on).
• Overdubbing during looped playback is supported.
• A Song Sequencer function lets you combine phrase
data into song data. With this Digital Piano, song
data is referred as a "song". For details, see
"Creating a Song (Song Sequencer)" (page E-21).

Recording a New Phrase

• You can record up to approximately 1,600 notes for a
single phrase. Also, recorded wheel, knob, and
slider operations significantly reduce the remaining
number of notes available for recording.
• Note that you cannot record a phrase while an
Audio Recorder (page E-23) operation is in progress.

• Note quantize and end measure settings can be
configured as required.
■ Note Quantize (Note Qntz)

cases when your timing strays a bit. The note
quantize settings described below can be used
to correct the timing of keyboard play
automatically and correct the timing of notes
you play on the keyboard. (Note that only key
press timing is correct. The timing of other
operations such as key release, and wheel,
pedal, knob, and slider operations are not
corrected.)
