4. Recording Your Performance
You can easily record your performances. A recorded
performance can be played back to hear your own playing,
or to add additional parts.
The following types of recording can be done using the
ep 880.
• Recording just your own keyboard performance
(→ “Recording a New Song” p. 22)
• Recording along with an internal song
(→ “Recording Along with a Song” p. 23)
• Recording each hand separately (→ “Recording the
Right-Hand and Left-Hand Parts Separately” p. 24)
Notes Regarding Recording
• Only one song can be recorded.
• Recorded performances are normally deleted when
you turn off the power to the ep 880, but you can use
the Song Backup function (p. 25) to have the recorded
performance be retained even while the power is
turned off.
• You can also record performances to external audio
devices as well as save performance data onto floppy
disks or other media using an external MIDI device.
For details, refer to “6. Connecting External Devices”
(p. 30).
If you attempt to record using a different internal song
when a performance has already been recorded, the
following will appear, and the indicators of [REC]
button will blink.
If it is OK to erase the performance, press the [REC]
button.
If you do not want to erase the performance, press the
[PLAY] button.
Use the following method to record songs that start
with pickup beats (where the song begins on a beat
other than the first beat of the measure).

New Song” on the next page.
After a two-measure count-in, recording begins.

After the performance is finished, press the [PLAY]
or [REC] button.
