Recording a Song
P. 49
4) Start recording by pressing the PLAY/STOP button while the REC button LED is blinking. There is an
automatic two bar count in before the CP begins recording. If you are recording on the Style track you
must press the START/STOP or INTRO buttons instead of the PLAY/STOP button. When recording a
Style there is no two bar count in, recording begins immediately.
You can cancel recording at anytime by pressing the REC button again or by pressing the F1 button to
return to the Advanced Recorder menu.
When you select a Style to record the default tempo for that Style is ignored. The Style will use
the current tempo setting for the song instead. You can set the desired tempo on the Real-time
record screen before recording or change the tempo after you have recorded in Song Edit or on
the tempo track in Event Edit.
When you are recording on the Style track only the Style will be recorded. The style track will
record any chords (to the chord track) you play but the actual notes you are playing will not be
recorded.
When the recording is done, the Mixer screen will automatically be displayed.
To play back the recorded song:
1) Press the RESET button in the RECORDER section of the front panel to return to the first bar of the
song.
2) Press the PLAY/STOP button to play back the song.
3) Press the PLAY/STOP button again to stop at any time.
4) Pressing the PLAY/STOP button again resumes the playback from the bar where you stopped.
5) Use the RWD or FWD buttons to rewind or fast-forward through the recording.
