Sharing Performances (Recording/Playback) Basic Operation You can record a performance using the internal/external microphone to a commercially available USB flash drive and immediately play it back. In addition to conventional recording capability, the instrument has a convenient Time Shift Recording function that allows you to capture up to 10 seconds of your performance before you actually started recording (by pressing the [REC] button). Both recording options save the recording results as a file that can be later played back from the [USB] button menu. Important • Connect an AC adaptor to use the recording function. • A USB flash drive should be connected to use the recording function. For details on how to connect a USB flash drive, refer to page 33. NOTE Adjust the microphone sensitivity (page 16) before recording. Recording/Playback Recording Level meter Recording display Press the [REC] button to start recording. Recording will start automatically under a new file name. Press the [REC] or [3/+] button to stop recording. Playing Back the Most Recent Recordings You can easily play back a recording immediately after the recording stops. Use the [-]/[+] buttons to select a file, and then press the [3/+] button to play/stop the recording. NOTE • If the cursor has moved away from the recording number, you can move the cursor back to the file name with the [3/+] button. • Note that once the recording number has been reset (when the recording folder has changed due to switching in and out of Time Shift Recording mode, or when turning the power off and on), you will no longer be able to select and play back recordings in this way. To play back previous recordings, enter the USB File Selection mode by pressing the [USB] button, and select the file (page 28). 26 HD-300 Owner's Manual
