4.2Recording a Song

*The RD-70 stores MIDI messages with the "direct to disk" recording method.
Before starting to record, prepare a floppy disk (3.5", 2DD or 3.5", HD) for use
(ie. formatted, with the tab in the upper right hand corner in the closed
position) and insert it into the disk drive (see Floppy-Disks 5.2).
*To actuate record mode, while holding the REC button press PAUSE (the
relative LEDs will light up). The RD-70 can be set on standby for recording in
two different ways:
1) AUTOMATIC METHOD: recording is carried out automatically as soon as a
MIDI code is sent to the MIDI IN connector from the connected data source.
(see section 6.3 SYNCRONIZATION)
2) MANUAL METHOD: recording is performed manually by pressing again the
PAUSE buttons, even if no data has yet been sent by the connected data
source.
* Press STOP to stop recording.
