Recording Your Performance You can record your keyboard performance as a User Song in SMF format. Up to two Parts (L and R) can be recorded separately. NOTICE • Note that the Recording operation will replace the already recorded data with the new data, since only one User Song is available. Before recording, check the [PLAY] lamp lights (data available) or not (no data). If you save the recorded data, transfer it to the computer as a SMF file. For details, refer to "Computer-related Operations" (page 4). Quick Recording 1 Before recording, make the settings such as Voice and Beat. Because some of the settings cannot be changed after the Record mode is engaged, make the settings according to your performance preferences. For example, if you want to record your performance with a Pianist Style, turn on [PIANIST STYLE]. 2 Press the [REC] to engage Record Ready mode. The [REC] lamp will flash according to the current tempo. If necessary, set the tempo (page 15). NOTE • You cannot engage Record mode while a song is playing. • You can use the Metronome/Rhythm while recording; however, the Met- ronome/Rhythm sound will not be recorded. When you record the Pianist Style performance, the Metronome/Rhythm cannot be played back while recording. 3 Play the keyboard or press [PLAY] to start recording. The [REC] lamp lights up while the [PLAY] lamp flashes at the current tempo. Play the keyboard and record your performance. 4 Press either [REC] or [PLAY] to stop recording. The [REC] and [PLAY] lamps flash, indicating that the recorded data is being stored. After Store is completed, the [REC] lamp turns off. NOTICE • Never turn off the power while the recorded data is being stored (while the lamps are flashing). Otherwise, all recorded data will be lost. 5 To hear the recorded Song, press [PLAY] to start playback. Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.
