Outline of M.D.R. Operation Though the M.D.R. is as easy to operate as a cassette tape recorder, it is far move versatile. Since it records all Electone settings and control movements as well as the notes you play as digital data, it allows you much more flexibility and control than even the most sophisticated tape recorder. Basically, the M.D.R. independently records the following three types of data: 1)Registration data (including Bulk data) All registrations stored to the Registration Memory numbered buttons as well as the registration currently set to the panel, are recorded at the beginning of a song, before the actual recording of your performance. Bulk data is also saved to the song with the Registration data. Bulk data includes: Registration Shift settings, Rhythm Pattern (User rhythms), Rhythm Sequence data and User voices. 2)Performance data The M.D.R. records your performance on the keyboards and pedalboard of the Electone exactly as you play it, even recording the strength at which you play the keys and how hard you press them down while playing. The various types of performance data-Upper, Lower, Pedal and Lead-are recorded to independent "tracks," so that you can change any one of them without affecting the others. 3)Control data All changes you make on the Electone during your performance are recorded in real time. These include registration changes, the use of the expression pedals, footswitches and knee lever. (2) To record each part separately: You can also record the parts of your performance independently; for example, first recording the chords and bass to the song (using the Lower and Pedalboard), and after that recording the melody. This function also lets you record keyboard percussion and performance control data, such as registration changes and expression pedal operation, separately from the other parts of the song. 1. Set up the M.D.R. for recording, as you did in the section above. The first steps in recording parts separately are the same as for normal recording on page 58: 1)Memorize all the registrations needed for your performance to the Registration Memory numbered buttons, and set the registration that will be used at the beginning of the song. 2)Insert a formatted disk. 3)Select the song number to which you will record your performance. 4)Press the RECORD button to make the Music Disk Recorder ready to record. 60 8 Music Disk Recorder

Outline of M.D.R. Operation
Though the M.D.R. is as easy to operate as a cassette tape recorder, it is far move versatile.
Since it records
all Electone settings and control movements as well as the notes you play as digital data, it allows you much
more flexibility and control than even the most sophisticated tape recorder.
Basically, the M.D.R.
independently records the following three types of data:
1)Registration data (including Bulk data)
All registrations stored to the Registration Memory numbered buttons as well as the registration currently set
to the panel, are recorded at the beginning of a song, before the actual recording of your performance.
Bulk
data is also saved to the song with the Registration data.
Bulk data includes:
Registration Shift settings,
Rhythm Pattern (User rhythms), Rhythm Sequence data and User voices.
2)Performance data
The M.D.R. records your performance on the keyboards and pedalboard of the Electone exactly as you play
it, even recording the strength at which you play the keys and how hard you press them down while playing.
The various types of performance data-Upper, Lower, Pedal and Lead-are recorded to independent "tracks,"
so that you can change any one of them without affecting the others.
3)Control data
All changes you make on the Electone during your performance are recorded in real time.
These include
registration changes, the use of the expression pedals, footswitches and knee lever.
(2) To record each part separately:
You can also record the parts of your performance
independently; for example, first recording the chords and
bass to the song (using the Lower and Pedalboard), and
after that recording the melody.
This function also lets you
record keyboard percussion and performance control
data, such as registration changes and expression pedal
operation, separately from the other parts of the song.
1.
Set up the M.D.R. for recording, as you
did in the section above.
The first steps in recording parts separately are the same
as for normal recording on page 58:

performance to the Registration Memory numbered
buttons, and set the registration that will be used at
the beginning of the song.
2)Insert a formatted disk.
