Multitrack Recording with 16
Parts (16-Track Sequencer)
Multitrack recording allows you to listen to previously
recorded material while continuing to add performances of
other parts.
The KR105 is capable of multitrack recording of up to sixteen
parts. Since each part’s performance is recorded using one
tone, you can layer performances, using up to sixteen tones
for the data in one song. The function used to layer these
sixteen parts, one at a time, is called the “16-Track
Sequencer.”

16-Track Sequencer and Track Buttons
In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track
Buttons” (p. 69) are another of the unit’s playing/recording
functions.
These five “Track buttons” are used for organizing the 16-
Track Sequencer’s sixteen parts. This allows you to use the
16-Track Sequencer to add more sounds to performances
recorded with the Track buttons, and make even more
detailed edits of the songs.
You can easily play back the original song data with the 16-
Track Sequencer, mute parts by pressing the Track buttons,
and more.
The Track buttons correspond to 16-track sequencer parts as
shown below.
Since the 16-Track Sequencer records one tone to one part,
you cannot use Layer performance (p. 25), Split performance
(p. 26), or other such functions to record two or more tones
simultaneously. Also, you can’t record the performance with
Automatic Accompaniment.
When you want to record with Automatic Accompaniment,
then you should use the Track buttons for recording. (Refer
to “Recording With Accompaniment” (p. 78))
Commercially Available Music Files
Commercially available song file recorded in Roland’s SMF
format is also composed of sixteen parts.
By loading the song file from the floppy disk and using the
16-Track Sequencer, you can then also edit the song file.
→Although with commercially available Roland SMF music
data, Part 11 is included in the [2/Bass Accomp] track button,
other tracks match to the corresponding Track buttons.
* With some commercially available music files, you cannot edit
the data.
