English 3Chapter Recording and Playback Recording a Performance You can record one song in the internal memory of this unit. Note • The recording function can store approximately 65 kilobytes (equal to approximately 21,000 notes), which equates to a song approximately 25 minutes in length, or 5 minutes in length for a song with a high tempo that contains many notes. • The recording also stores information on the voice selected during performance. • The data recorded is preserved even if you turn the power off or reset all parameters. Caution • Starting recording will delete the previously recorded song (the previous recording is not deleted if you cancel the recording without playing anything when the unit is in record standby mode). Please back up any data you do not want to delete to USB memory. See "Saving Recorded Data to USB Memory" on page 11 for details. • You cannot use the recording function when USB memory is connected. Please remove the USB memory before recording. 1 Press the REC button. The unit changes to record standby mode, the REC lamp lights red, and the PLAY/STOP lamp blinks green.
