To Record A Track; Song Recording - Williams Rhapsody Owner's Manual

SonG recorDInG

The Song Recorder built into the piano can record
two individual tracks, allowing you to record one part
and then record a second, complementary part while
the first part is being played back.

to record a track

Press the [SONG] button and the [METRONOME]
button simultaneously to enter Record Wait Mode.
The Song button's LED will light, and the Metronome
will begin playing at the currently selected tempo.
The LED display will show: rec for one second, after
which it will show: tr1.
The piano is now in Record Wait Mode. To start
recording, begin playing the keyboard. Recording
starts automatically as soon as you start playing.
NOTE: When Record Wait Mode is active, you can also
start recording by pressing the Song button. In that case,
the Song Recorder will record silence until you start
playing the keyboard.
To end recording, press the [SONG] button.
Repeat to record track 2. Recording will begin when
the first key is pressed.
As mentioned at the beginning of this section, you
can record to two independent tracks within each
song you record. This means that you can make a
recording, and after you're done, play back what you
14
recorded while recording a complementary part on a
second track. The Rhapsody automates some of the
track selections to make the Song Recorder
more intuitive:
When you start recording, if data has already been
recorded on track 1, the LED display will show: tr2,
and the Song Recorder will record on this track.
During recording, any notes already recorded on the
other track will be played back. If you are recording
on track 2, anything previously recorded on track 1
will be played back for you.
If tracks 1 and 2 both contain data, this piano will
automatically choose to record to the track that was
NOT last recorded to. (If your last recording was on
track 1, track 2 will be selected; if your last recording
was on track 2, track 1 will be selected.)
to manually Select a track to record to:
Press the [SONG] button and the [METRONOME]
button simultaneously to enter Record Wait Mode.
Turn the [DATA CONTROL] knob to select between
track 1 and track 2.
If either of the tracks contains recorded data, the
display will show a dot "." in the bottom right hand
corner: tr1, tr2.
You will also see options for Clear (abbreviated
clr) and Cancel (abbreviated can ), which you
can ignore for the moment. These will be discussed
later in this section.
