Record Functions Step Recording In addition to the realtime-recording procedures described above, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have a "step recording" mode in which notes can be entered one at a time with precise timing and length. NOTES • Only chord sequences can be step-recorded to the Song Memory ACCOMP track. The REWRITE SETTING function (page 55) can be used after recording to change other parameters as required. • You can specify the measure from which you want to begin song memory step recording as described on page 44. • The Metronome does not function during step recording. • The following parameters cannot be changed during Song Memory ACCOMP track step recording: style number, section, track on/off, revoice on/off, registration memory, fade in/out.
