ENGLISH Recording Your Performance 3 Start recording. Recording starts as soon as you play the keyboard. Alternatively, press the [PLAY] button to start recording. The [REC] button indicator lights up steadily, and the indicator for the recording part flashes at the current tempo.(If data exists in the part you are not recording, the corresponding part indicator lights up.) 4 Press either the [REC] or [PLAY] button to stop recording. When recording is stopped, all indicators (for the [REC], [PLAY], [+ R] and [- L] buttons) will flash, indicating that the recorded data is being saved to the instrument. After the data is saved, the button indicator for the recorded part will light up steadily, indicating that the part now contains data. Record Ready mode will automatically be cancelled. Changing the settings for the recorded user song The initial settings (data recorded at the beginning of a song) can be changed after recording. If you wish to change the voice of the user song, before pressing the [REC] button, select a different voice. Then, simultaneously press the [REC] button and the button for the part whose initial settings you want to change. The unit enters Record mode. Without playing the keyboard, press the [REC] button again to apply the change(s) to the song. If you wish to change the tempo, do so after the unit enters Record mode. Individual Parts • Voice selection • Reverb depth • Dual voices • Damper/soft pedal depth Entire Song • Tempo • [REVERB] type (including OFF) NOTICE Do not turn off the power to this instrument while it is recording the data in its internal memory (that is, while all button indicators are flashing). Otherwise, all recorded data, including the data being recorded, will be lost. If the metronome was on when you started recording, you'll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded. You can save the recorded user song to a computer. You can also load the user song data from a computer and play it back on this instrument. (See page 28.) The user song is saved as a Standard MIDI file (SMF). (page 28) 24 YDP-161/141 Owner's Manual
