Reference Manual – Recording and Playing Music Tracks
5a. First select the Sound(s) you wish to use in your recording; Sounds
are displayed in the middle of the screen.
To do so, there are several procedures:
−
select a Memory,
−
place the cursor on the desired Part, then press [ENTER] or [+]
or [-],
−
press the Key Touch dedicated to a family
The song name appears on the top. This will also be the name of the
.mid track that you are recording.
The Play Mode parameter is the keyboard mode, and can be switched by pressing the [F3] Key Touch.
5b. When overdubbing an already existing song, the track(s) can be recorded/played in different modes. The play
mode is shown beside the Part1 and Part2 fields:
−
R (Record): recording allowed on this track. When in Overdub
mode (see point 6), in addition to the recording, already saved
data is reproduced as well.
−
P (Play): recording not allowed on this track. If the track
contains data, it will be played.
−
This mode can be used to record a second track (for example,
on a Part2 set as R), together with one already recorded (in the
same example, a Part1 set as P). Tracks set in Play mode will
be played, but not modified, even while performing a recording
on a different part. Furthermore, the two parts do not overlap:
that is, a Part set in Play mode will not generate sound for the
notes pressed on the keyboard while recording
−
M (Mute): the track cannot be played nor overdubbed. The
keyboard does not produce sound.
To select the play mode, first select the track using the [ ] and [ ] Key Touch, then press [+] and [-] to change
mode.
5.
Press [F4] to configure the record parameters and the metronome.
These settings are also displayed on the table on the lower part of the
previous video page.
Parameters are:
−
Metronome: sets metronome status.
−
Tempo: sets the metronome tempo, in Beats Per Minute. This value
also appears on the top right of the previous video page.
WARNING: if the metronome is synchronised through MIDI or USB, the
words "(Ext. Sync.)" will appear beside the Tempo field. Thus, the
metronome tempo cannot be adjusted. To modify the synchronization
settings, access the Metronome function under the FUNCTION menu.
−
Time Signature: selects the time signature for the metronome.
−
Precount: sets the number of precount measures, after which the system starts recording. The metronome is
always active in these measures, even if the Metronome parameter is
−
Quantize (not available when recording in Audio mode): sets the quantization value. When OFF, there is no
quantization. Quantize corrects a recorded track's small imperfections in rythm. It might happen that a note is
played a bit later or earlier than intended. This function can align the notes to the closest beat, according to the
time signature.
−
Mode: select the record mode. Modes are:
•
REPLACE: the track is completely replaced; all previous data, between the first bar (set through the Start
locator parameter) and the last recorded bar is deleted.
•
OVERDUB: all actions performed on the instrument while recording are added to the original track.
