Recording and Replaying Your Performances
(
NC
-500 only)
The NC-500’s built-in recorder makes it easy to record and replay your
performances. Operation is as easy and intuitive as using a conventional
tape recorder.
The recorder lets you store performances for two parts. You can use these
parts to record two completely unrelated pieces, or you may use them to
separately record the left-hand and right-hand lines of a single piece. You
can play the recorded parts back individually or in combination.
If you wish to keep a performance permanently, you can save the data using
a commercially available data filer or commercially available sequencer
software. For information, see “MIDI Data Dumps” on page 36.
Recorded performance data is retained in memory even after power goes off.
When you start to record a part, all data previously stored for that part is
erased.
Recording
■ To Record a Performance...
1. Use the BANK and SOUND buttons to select the sound you want to
use for the recording.
2. Press the REC button.
The button lights up.
The PART 1 and PART 2 buttons will light to indicate each part's current
recording status: each button is either lit solid, flashing, or off. If data is
already recorded in the part, the corresponding button is lit solid.
3. Select the part you want to record by pressing the appropriate
PART buttons. The buttons will flash.
When recording in single-voice mode, press only one button. When
recording in layered mode, press both buttons. Each part will be
recorded with the sound currently selected for that part.
The selected button begins flashing, indicating that the part is standing
by to start recording.
If you wish, you can now press the same button to change the state, as
shown in the illustration on the next page.
