Several tracks can be recorded simultaneously. In addition to being able to record to empty tracks, you can also re-record tracks that already contain recorded data. q About Quick Recording In Quick Recording, you can quickly record without having to worry about the track assignments above. Quick Recording automatically makes track assignments according to the simple rules below. • When Record method is set to "Melody" Your keyboard performances (VOICE R1, R2, L) are recorded to tracks 1 - 3. • When Record method is set to "Acmp" The auto accompaniment parts are recorded to tracks 9 - 16. • When Record method is set to "Melody + Acmp" Your keyboard performances (VOICE R1 and R2) are recorded to tracks 1 - 2, and the auto accompaniment parts are recorded to tracks 9 -16. The Quick Recording method is different from the Multi Track Recording method; however, for both of them, the recorded data is recorded on tracks 1-16. If you wish to re-record a User song that was originally recorded by the Quick Recording method, use Multi Track Recording. The following notes and cautions are important points for you to keep in mind as you record. • Using the Metronome function (page 118) can make your recording sessions much more efficient. • Using Registration Memory (page 54) can make your recording sessions much more efficient, since various settings (such as voices, etc.) can be recalled by a single button press. When the record mode is engaged, the Registration Memory Freeze function will be turned on (it cannot be turned off while the record mode is engaged). • When the record mode is engaged, the Synchro Stop function will be turned off (it cannot be turned on while the record mode is engaged). • Whenever you record, any previously recorded material in the same track will be erased. • Song files on commercially available disks which are not write-protected can be selected and recorded to (edited) on the PSR-540. If the song data is of a different format from that of the PSR540 User songs, the display prompts you to convert the song data. By pressing the [+/YES] button, you can convert the song data to the PSR-540 format (compatible with the PSR-540). Once the conversion operation is finished, the PSR-540 returns to record standby, allowing you to record. • If the disk memory becomes full while recording, an alert message will appear on the display and recording will stop. • Be careful to avoid turning off the power or unplugging the AC adaptor from the outlet during recording, since this will result in the loss of recorded data. 79 77
