More about ALL mode
In addition to what you learned on p. 22, here
are a few considerations:
After pressing [ REC], the 16 track and
[RECORD∏] icons start flashing, signalling
that all 16 tracks are available for recording.
Here is what the tracks correspond to:
For your convenience, the Keyboard parts
are flagged with a “®” symbol in the above
graphic.
Parts you do not hear during recording will
not be recorded. This applies to the Key-
board parts (Upper 1, 2, Lower, M. Bass, M.
Drums), and to the Arranger parts (see
p. 23), but also to the D Beam and the Style
pads. The track icons ~ thus do not
show you what
will
be recorded, but rather
what
can
be recorded.
Note: If you activate the DJ PAD function (see p. 9),
the Arranger is not available.
Note: If you select the M.DRUMS mode, Upper 1, 2,
Lower and M.Bass are not available, while the
Arranger can only play the Arranger drum part.
Note: See p. 45 for how to switch on the M.Bass
part.
KEYBOARD recording mode
In KEYBOARD mode, you can only record the
Keyboard parts. The Arranger is not available.
Essentially, this mode allows you to record either
one layered part using up to four sounds (Upper
1, 2, Lower, M.Bass), or two parts (Lower & M.
Bass to the left, Upper 1 & 2 to the right). If you
select the M.Drums mode, you can only record a
drum part.
Note: Selecting KEYBOARD mode means that the Song
data in the EM-55 OR’s memory will be overwritten by
your new recording.
(1) Press the [ REC] button.
(2) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to make the
display look as follows:
The indicated track icons flash to signal that
those are the tracks you can record to.
(3) To create a split between Lower (and pos-
sibly M. Bass) for your left hand, and
Upper 1 and 2 for your right hand, press
the KBD MODE [ARRANGER] button.
The Arranger is not available as such, but
pressing this button creates a split.
(4) Activate the metronome (if necessary),
and set the desired tempo with the
[EXECUTE/TAP TEMPO] button.
You can also record without metronome if
you like.
Note: The M.Bass part can be added to the Lower
part. You must switch it on via the FUNCTION menu
(see p. 44).
Note: In M.DRUMS mode, only the Keyboard part
of the same name is available.
