You can start recording by playing the keyboard, starting a Style, playing a

Multi Pad or pressing the SONG CONTROL [

F

/

K

] (PLAY/PAUSE) button.

5

After you finish your performance, press the [

J

[REC] button to stop recording.

[EXIT] button to close the message.

5-1

Press the [SONG FUNCTION] button to call up the Song Function Menu

display, and then press one of the [1



] (Select) buttons to call up the

Song Selection display.

5-2

Save the recorded data as a file by following the instructions on page 26.

7

Press the [

F

/

K

] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to play back the recorded

performance.

You can create a Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance to each part one-by-one over a different

channel number. In recording a piano piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part as channel 1 then record the

left-hand part as channel 2, allowing you to 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 as channels 9 – 16, and

then record melodies as 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

Before recording, make the necessary settings, such as Voice/

Style selection.

2

Press the SONG CONTROL [REC] button and the [

J

] (STOP)

button simultaneously.

A blank Song for recording is automatically set, and the Song name on the Main

display (page 18) is set to “NewSong.”

While holding down the [REC] button, press the appropriate [1



] – [8



] buttons to set the desired channels to “Rec.”

NOTE

You can use the metronome (page 38)

while recording; however, the metro-

nome sound will not be recorded.

NOTICE

The recorded Song will be lost if

you change to another Song or

you turn the power off without

carrying out the Save operation.

Recording each part individually (Multi Track Recording)

NOTE

Each part of a MIDI song can be

recorded with a different channel num-

ber (Ch. 1 – Ch. 16). Because of this

format, the performance information of

each part remains separate and is not

mixed — even though all parts will be

saved as one track. This channel num-

ber is referred to as “MIDI Channel.”
