Using the Song Memory
16
75+0)6*'510)/'/14;
The keyboard lets you record up to two
separate songs (with up to about 3,500
notes) in memory for later playback. You
can use either of two methods to record a
song — real-time recording (you record as
you play) or step recording (you enter notes
and chords one-by-one).
You can record on each of the keyboard’s
six tracks separately. Besides notes, each
track can have its own tone number. Then,
when you play back the tracks together, it
sounds like an entire six-piece band. Also,
you can use different mixer settings for each
track.
Track 1 is the main track, and you can use it
to record auto accompaniment, as well as
keyboard play. Tracks 2 through 6 are
melody tracks, and you can use these for
recording a secondary melody that includes
keyboard play.
Because each track is independent of the
others, you only need to re-record a single
track if you make a mistake while recording
on it.
If the remaining memory is less than 100
notes, the measure and beat numbers flash.
When memory becomes full, recording
automatically stops (and auto-
accompaniment or rhythm stops playing, if
used).
Memory contents are saved as long as
power is supplied to the keyboard.
Unplugging the adapter without batteries or
with weak batteries erases the memory. To
prevent data loss, connect an adapter
before replacing the batteries.
Turning off the keyboard while recording
erases the contents of the track you were
recording.
You can transfer memory contents to
another MIDI device.
