1. Select the panel settings needed for recording the
performance.
2. Make sure that a floppy disk is not inserted in the
disk drive.
If a floppy disk is in the disk drive, press the Eject button
and remove the floppy disk.
3. Enter the recording standby mode by pressing the
[Rec] button.
The [Rec] button indicator will light, and the [Play/Stop]
button will blink.
4. Press the [Play/Stop] button to start recording.
When you press the [Play/Stop] button, the metronome
will play two measures (bars) of count-in before
recording begins.
If you wish to use Rhythm and Automatic Accompaniment
as you record, press the [Start/Stop] button instead of the
[Play/Stop] button to begin recording. Also, if the [Sync]
button is lit (i.e., if Sync Start is ON), recording will begin the
instant you play the Lower keyboard.
5. Press the [Play/Stop] button when you have
completed your recording.
The Track indicator where a performance song is
recorded will change from a flashing to a constant light.
When you press the [Intro/Ending] button (or [Start/
Stop] button) while recording a Rhythm performance or
Automatic Accompaniment, the Rhythm performance
and Automatic Accompaniment will stop. However, the
recording itself will continue. Press the [Play/Stop]
button to stop recording.
You can also stop recording by pressing the Composer
[Play/Stop] button.
The Play and Stop functions can both be assigned to one of
the foot switches located on each side of the Expression Pedal
(p. 145).
You can also choose to cancel the metronome count-in before
recording starts (p. 145).
Caution
If you press the [Rec] button when a song has been selected
from the floppy disk, the selected song will be completely
loaded into the AT-90S/80S/60S and the Composer will
enter into the recording standby mode. To record a new
song, use the following procedure.
1. Press the [Rec] button to cancel recording
standby.
2. Take the floppy disk out of the disk drive.
3. Delete the performance data.
