Press [RUN] To Start Recording
Press the [RUN] key and start recording after a two-measure count-in. The
count-in is indicated visually on the LCD by "minus" measure numbers — e.g.
recording will actually begin after a two-measure count-in from -8 to 0 if 4/4
time is selected, -16 to 0 if 8/8 time is selected, etc. The "click" metronome
will also sound as long as the "CLICK MODE" function is set appropriately
("REFERENCE" section, page 217) and the rear-panel [CLICK VOLUME]
control is set to an appropriate level. After the count-in, the measure numbers
will increase as recording progresses. The [RUN] key indicator also flashes to
indicate the tempo — red on the first beat of every measure and green on all
other beats.
5.
Press [STOP] To Stop Recording
When you have finished playing the part for the current track, press the
[STOP] key to stop recording. Both the [RUN] and [RECORD] key indicators
will go out, and "Executing!" will appear on the display briefly while recorded
data is being processed. After this, the SY85 will return to the sequencer play
mode.

Check the Part just Recorded
You can now listen to the part you've just recorded by pressing the
sequencer "top" key (see illustration below) to return to the first measure,
and then the [RUN] key. You can also use the forward and reverse keys to
move to any measure and listen to playback from that point.
Playback will stop automatically when the end of the recorded sequence is
reached, or it can be stopped at any time by pressing the [STOP] key.
While a sequence is playing, the [CS1] through [CS8] sliders
can be used to adjust the volume of-multi instruments 1 through
8, respectively. Also, since the cursor is located at the "Tempo"
parameter, the data entry dial or [-1] and [+1] keys can be used
to change the tempo during playback.
