Recording Your Performance Turning playback channels of the Song on and off A Song consists of 16 separate channels. You can independently turn each channel of the selected Song playback on or off. Usually, CH 1 is assigned to [TRACK 1] button, CH 2 is assigned to [TRACK 2] button, and CH 3-16 are assigned to the [EXTRA TRACKS] button. 1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button to call up the Song CHANNEL ON/OFF display. If the display shown below does not appear, press the [CHANNEL ON/ OFF] button again. 2 Use the [1π†]-[8π†] buttons to turn each channel on or off. If you want to play back only one particular channel (muting all other channels), press and hold down one of the [1π†]-[8π†] buttons corresponding to the desired channel. To cancel solo playback, press the same button again. Using, Creating and Editing Songs Recording Your Performance You can record your own performances and save them to the User tab display or a external storage devices, such as a SmartMedia card. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly, Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. You can also edit the Songs you've recorded. Recording Methods The microphone input signal can not be recorded. Internal memory (User tab displays) capacity The internal memory capacity of the instrument is about 3.3MB. This capacity applies to all file types, including Voice, Style, Song, and Registration data files. There are three methods as shown below. Realtime Recording Quick Recording ➤ page 138 This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance-useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. You can record to the [TRACK 1 (R)] or [TRACK 2 (L)] button, and also to the [EXTRA TRACKS (STYLE)] track, which can be used for recording at the same time. Multi track Recording ➤ page 139 This lets you record a whole Song including several different instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or a Song on an external device, such as SmartMedia card) with your own performance. Step Recording ➤ page 141 This method lets you compose your performance by "writing" it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method - similar to writing music notation onto paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by one (realtime performance is not needed). Step Recording You can also edit Songs after they've been recorded (page 152). For example, you can edit specific notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/ Out function to re-record a specific part. CVP-309/307 Owner's Manual 137
