I Recording Phrases Z Select a PHRASE Pad For Recording REC/STOP PHRASE 1 Tempo Change 2 Tap Start 3 Tempo l 4 accel. X Play a Phrase C Stop Recording Press the PHRASE pad you intend to record to while holding the [REC/ STOP] button. The REC/STOP indicator will flash, indicating that the selected pad is ready to record. Recording begins automatically as soon as you play on the keyboard using the ORCHESTRA 1 voice (i.e. the right-hand section of the keyboard if the split play mode or AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is engaged), and the REC/STOP indicator will light continuously as long as recording continues. MUSICAL NOTE You can record phrases while AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is playing or stopped. In either case the phrase will be recorded in relation to the currently set accompaniment tempo, so it is a good idea to record phrases while monitoring the accompaniment to ensure that they are reproduced at an appropriate tempo when played back with accompaniment. Press the [REC/STOP] button to stop recording when you've finished playing the phrase. The [REC/STOP] button indicator will go out when recording ends. Recording will stop automatically if the PHRASE pad memory becomes full (approximately 160 notes per pad), or if another pad is pressed. DETAIL I Phrase Playback MULTI PLAYING PHRASE 1 Tempo Change 2 Tap Start 3 Tempo l PA 4 accel. As long as the MULTI mode is selected, any recorded phrase can be played back simply by pressing the corresponding PHRASE pad. The phrase will play back whether the accompaniment is playing or not, but will always play at the currently set tempo. The MULTI PLAYING indicator will light while the phrase plays back, and playback will end automatically as soon as the end of the phrase is reached. A phrase can be stopped while it is playing by pressing either the [REC/STOP] button or the corresponding pad button. It is also possible to play back several phrases at the same time. Although the note data played by the phrase pads can not be recorded by the PSR-5700 sequencer (Advanced Features manual, page 3), the phrase pad DETAIL events (i.e. the fact that a pad has been pressed) can be recorded. Phrase pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk (Advanced Features manual, page 46), but can not be memorized by the Panel Registration feature (page 38). Use the MASTER VOLUME control to adjust the playback volume of the phrase pads. HINT 29
