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 the MELODY track button while holding the RECORDING sec-
tion [REC] button. Both the [REC] button indicator and the MELODY
track indicator will flash, indicating that the SONG MEMORY is ready to
record. If the OVERALL CONTROL section [METRONOME] button in-
dicator is lit the metronome will also begin to sound at the currently se-
lected 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.
•
If the previously-recorded SONG MEMORY ACCOMP track is turned
ON (its indicators is lit), it can be monitored while recording. If you
don't want to hear the ACCOMP track while recording, simply press
the ACCOMP track button so its indicator goes out.
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 the
MELODY track, or on the right-hand section of the keyboard if you are
recording the MELODY track at the same time as the ACCOMP track.
Stop recording by pressing the MELODY track button, or the SONG
MEMORY [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 re-
cording was started.
•
"---" will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY while the PSR-410 is
processing recorded data.
