Recording to Specified Channels (MIDI Recording) With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance to each channel one by one. In recording a piano piece, for example, you can record the righthand part to channel 1 then record the left-hand part to channel 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with Style playback, for example, record the Style playback to channels 9 - 16, then record melodies to channel 1 while listening to the already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live. 1 If you want to re-record an existing MIDI Song, select the desired Song (steps 1 - 2 on page 67). If you want to record from scratch, skip this step. 2 On the Home display, touch [] at the upper right to expand the Song area, then touch [*] (Rec) to call up the Song Recording window. 2 NOTE • The contents of the Song Recording window differ depending on the panel settings. • Here and in the later steps, the operation in the Song area of the Home display can be controlled by the SONG CONTROL buttons (page 68). 3 When recording from scratch, touch [New MIDI].
