Recording without accompaniment
Let us now look at how to start recording without
automatic accompaniment. You can nevertheless star
the Arranger at a later stage (after your ad lib introduc-
tion, for example): it will playing in sync with the song
tempo.
(1) Press the [REC¥∏] button (its indicator flashes).
Note: Whenever you press the [REC¥∏] button and start
recording (see below), the song RAM memory is erased. Be sure
to save the current song data before recording a new song (see
p. 55).
(2) Press the EASY SETTING [PIANO] button.
(3) Use the [√SLOW][FAST®] buttons, the [TAP] button
or (if the main page is displayed), the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial to set the desired tempo.
(4) If you want to start Music Style playback at a later
stage, select a Music Style (see p. 27) and a sound
for your solo playing (see p. 29).
Note: Rather than performing the above steps, you could
recall a User Program with the desired settings (page 112).
(5) Press the [PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] button to start record-
ing.
The Recorder now counts in one measure, after
which recording starts.
Note: See page 73 for setting the Count-In function.
(6) Start playing.
(7) To start Arranger playback at a later stage, press
the [START÷STOP] button.
(8) If you want to stop Arranger playback before the
end of the song, press either the [END÷RIT] or the
[START÷STOP] button.
This will stop Arranger playback, while recording goes
on. This allows you to improvise without accompani-
ment.
(9) Press the [PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] button to stop record-
ing.
(10) See “Listening to your song”.
Adding more parts
Here is how to redo part of your recording (one part
you do not like) or to add additional parts to what has
already been recorded.
Let us first have a look at what has been recorded so far
– and where:
We started out with the Arranger, which means that
the following tracks may now contain data (not all
Music Styles use all 8 tracks the Arranger can play back
simultaneously):
If you also recorded one or several Keyboard parts, their
data reside on the following tracks:
UP1/2/3 and/or LW1/2 can also be used as additional
drum part if you assign it a Drum Set (TONE [DRUMS]
button).
For the following, we will assume that you also
recorded the melody using the UP1 part (track 4) and
that you now want to add some chords using the
LW1 part.
(1) Start by taking note of the track you wish to
(re)record.
See the tables above. For our example, we will use
track 11 (LW1). If you want to redo a part but do not
know what track it has been recorded to, you can
take advantage of the Recorder’s Mute function for
locating it.
(2) Press the RECORDER [16-TRACK¥SEQUENCER] but-
ton.
