Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs - Song Creator With these powerful yet easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard performances and store them for future recall. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page 96), which lets you record easily and quickly; Multi Recording (page 97), which lets you record several different parts; and Step Recording (page 99), which lets you enter notes one by one. Songs can include not only the voice settings for the keyboard performance (Main, Layer, Left), but also the effects, vocal harmony and auto accompaniment parts. The recorded song can be stored to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 47).

START About Song Recording There are two methods of recording songs: realtime recording and step recording. ■ Realtime Recording This method lets you record performance data in real time. There are two ways to use realtime recording: Quick and Multi. Quick Recording (page 96) This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right hand and the auto accompaniment. Multi Recording (page 97) This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance. ■ Step Recording (page 99) 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. By using the Event List (page 108-110), you can input notes, chords and other events one by one. ■ Song Editing (page 105) The PSR-2100/1100 also lets you edit the songs you've recorded by the Quick Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods. When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded song, use the Punch IN/OUT function (page 104). • The internal memory capacity of the PSR-2100/1100 is about 1520KB (PSR-2100)/700KB (PSR1100). Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD floppy disks is about 720KB and 1.44MB, respectively. When you store data to these locations, all file types of the PSR-2100/ 1100 (Voice, Style, Song, Registration, etc.) are stored together. • The microphone input signal (PSR2100 only) cannot be recorded. • Songs recorded on the PSR-2100/ 1100 are automatically recorded as SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) data. For details on SMF, see page 161. • Playback of the recorded song data can be transmitted from MIDI OUT, letting you play the sounds of a connected external tone generator (page 149). • The volume level of each channel of the song can be adjusted from the Mixing Console and the settings can be saved. Moreover, even after you've set a voice for your keyboard play during recording, you can record voice selections, so that the voice changes automatically during playback (page 107). PSR-2100/1100 95
