Recording Each Channel Individually (Realtime 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 right-hand part to channel 1 and 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 Call up the MIDI Multi Recording display via [RECORDING]  MIDI [Multi Recording]. When a User MIDI Song is loaded, the Song is set for recording. Even when the Song List mode is selected, a User Song selected on Song Player is set for recording instead of a Song currently selected on a Song List. 2 3 2 If you want to re-record an existing Song, select the desired Song by touching the Song name, and then press the [EXIT] button to return to the Multi Recording display.

Touching [OK] automatically turns [Rec] on of the target channel, and sets it to recording standby status.
