Other recording functions
The E-200/E-100’s 16-track Recorder can be used in several
ways. Let us therefore have a look at the other recording modes.
About the recording modes
Modes
The E-200/E-100 provides two modes for recording new
music, and two for adding parts or correcting passages of
existing music:
Note: Every time you select the ALL or Keyboard mode, the data
in the USERSONG memory are erased.
Recorder memory
The E-200/E-100 provides one “live” song memory, which
can contain one song at a time. After completing a song, you
should save it (see p. 49).
To keep you from accidentally erasing the song in the E-200/
E-100’s internal memory, the E-200/E-100 automatically
selects Single after your first recording. Bear in mind
that selecting “ALL” or “Keyboard” will erase the song in
the USERSONG memory. Do not select “ALL” or “Keyboard”
for adding parts to an existing song – use “Single” or “Punch
I/O” instead.
Conversely, you cannot select “Single” or “Punch I/O” if the
USERSONG memory doesn’t yet contain data.
And finally: playing back a Standard MIDI File erases the
song in the E-200/E-100’s memory. In return, the SMF data
will be available (and can be supplemented with your own
renditions in “Single” or “Punch I/O” mode).
More about ALL mode
In addition to what you learned on p. 22, here are a few consid-
erations:
After pressing the [REC≈∏] button, the 16 track and [RECORD∏]
icons start flashing, signalling that all 16 tracks are available for
recording.
Here is what the tracks correspond to (after recording a song
with Arranger backing):
For your convenience, the Keyboard parts are flagged with a
k” symbol in the above graphic.
Parts you do not hear during recording are not recorded. The
track icons [1]~[16] thus do not show you what will be
recorded, but rather what can be recorded.
Recording a new song:
ALL In this mode, you can record everything you
and the E-200/E-100 can play simultaneously:
Arranger (accompaniment).
Keyboard parts (Main and Split or Dual).
Changes to the STYLIST settings for the

board parts. The track can be freely selected.

time. The track can be freely selected.

tion of an otherwise perfect part.
