Using the User Song Recorder The ability to record and play back what you've played on the P-120/P-120S keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The P-120/P-120S's two-track Song Recorder allows the recording of three User Songs. The user song recorder actually records the following data: I Entire Song G Tempo G Time signature (beat) G Reverb type (including OFF) G Effect type (including OFF) I Individual Tracks G Notes played G Voice selection G Voice variation G Dual mode voices G Split mode voices G Pedal Operation (sustain, soft, sostenuto, expression) G Effect depth G Reverb depth G Dual balance (F3) G Dual detune (F3) G Dual octave shift (F3) G Split balance (F4) G Split octave shift (F4) Recording 1 Select a Song For Recording Press the [USER 1/2/3] button to select a song for recording. The indicator of the selected song will light. (A song is not selected if none of the indicators are lit.) NOTE • When in the demo song mode, the [USER 1/2/3] button can not be used to select a song. 2 Make All Necessary Initial Settings Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record with (or voices if you will be using the dual or split mode). You might also want to set the volume and tempo controls. NOTE • If you want to change the tempo, time signature, reverb type, or effect type when re-recording a track or when recording to another track, do so after entering the record ready mode (step 3). 3 Engage the Record Ready Mode Press the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (recording does not actually start yet). The record ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button a second time. 24 26 P-120/P-120S
