Select the voice you want to record with (the R1 and R2 voices can be
used), and set the voice effects and other parameters as required.
Press one of the MELODY track buttons — [1] through [5] — while
holding the RECORDING section [REC] button. Both the [REC] button
indicator and the selected MELODY track indicator will flash, indicating
that the SONG MEMORY is ready to record. If the OVERALL CONTROL
REC
section [METRONOME] button indicator is lit the metronome will also
begin to sound at the currently selected tempo, while the MULTI DISPLAY
BEAT indicator dots flash at the current tempo. The current measure
number – in this case "001" – will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY.
NOTES
Recording will begin as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or
press the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button, and the BEAT indicator dots will
begin to indicate the current beat as in the Auto Accompaniment mode, and
the current measure number will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.
Play the melody using the entire keyboard if you are recording only a
MELODY track, or on the right-hand section of the keyboard if you are
recording a MELODY track at the same time as the ACCOMP track.
NOTES
Stop recording by pressing the TRACK button of the melody track be-
3 4 5
ing recorded, or the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button. The [REC] indicator
will go out and the voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY a
few seconds after recording is stopped. Song memory will return to the
measure at which recording was started.
