Using the Song Sequencer
733A-E-041A
The built-in Song Sequencer lets you record up to two separate songs
in memory for later playback.
Songs and Tracks
The Song Sequencer records and plays back much like a standard
tape recorder. You can have up to two separate, independent songs
in Song Sequencer memory at the same time.
Each song is make up of a total of six tracks, each of which can be
recorded separately. Then when you play back the tracks together, it
sounds like an entire group of musicians, each playing a different
part.

NOTES
❚
• With this keyboard, Track 1 can be used to record keyboard play and
Auto Accompaniment. Tracks 2 through 6 can be used for keyboard
play only, so they are called melody tracks. As shown in the illustration
above, you record Tracks 2 through 6 while listening to what you have
already recorded up to that point.
• Note that each track is independent of the others. This means that even
if you make a mistake while recording, you only need to re-record the
track where the mistake was made.
• Tone settings can be changed during recording, and each tone change
is recorded in the applicable track. This means you can have up to six
different instrument parts in one song.
Recording
There are two methods you can use to record with the Song Sequenc-
er: real-time recording and punch-in recording.
Real-time Recording
With this method, notes are recorded as you play them on the key-
board.
Punch-in Recording
This method lets you re-record from a specific section of a song that
is already in memory. You can use punch-in recording to correct mis-
takes you made during real-time recording.
Global Settings and Operations
A global setting or operation is one that affects all the tracks that make
up a song. The following is a list of the global settings and opera-
tions.
• Metronome setting
• Song delete
• Meter setting
• Initial tempo value
• Quantize setting after recording
See “Global Settings and Operations” on page E-45 for full details on
what each setting and operation does, and how to use them.
Song Sequencer Data
The type of data that is stored by the Song Sequencer during a re-
cording operation depends on whether you are using real-time re-
cording or punch-in recording. The same type of data is recorded
regardless of the track, except that only Track 1 records Auto Accom-
paniment.

ed described under “Real-time Recording – All Tracks” below.
