Erasing Unwanted Data While You
Record (Realtime Erase)
Realtime Erase is a function that erases unwanted data during
realtime recording. This is particularly convenient during loop
recording, since it lets you erase data without stopping recording.
Realtime Erase can be executed only if the Recording Mode is set
to MIX.
1. Begin realtime recording (p. 129).
The Realtime Recording window appears.

2. Press [7 (Erase)].
The Realtime Erase window appears.

3. Erase unwanted data.
To erase all data (except for Pattern Call messages), press [8
(Erase All)]. Data will be erased for as long as you hold down the
button.
To erase notes of a specific key, hold down that key. Data for
that note will be erased for as long as you hold down that key.
To erase notes of a specific key range, hold down the top and
bottom keys of that range. Data for that range will be erased for
as long as you hold down those keys.
4. Press [EXIT] to close the Realtime Erase window.
You will return to the normal recording state.
Auditioning Sounds or Phrases
While Recording
(Rehearsal Function)
The Rehearsal function lets you temporarily suspend recording
during realtime recording. This is convenient when you want to
audition the sound that you will use next, or to practice the phrase
that you will record next.
1. Begin realtime recording (p. 129).
The Realtime Recording window appears.

2. Press [8 (Rehersl)].
The [REC] indicator will blink, indicating that you are in
rehearsal mode. In this state, nothing will be recorded when you
play the keyboard.
3. To return to record mode, press [8 (Rehersl)] once again.
Inputting Data One Step at a
Time (Step Recording)
Step Recording is the method of inputting notes and rests
individually, as if you were writing them onto a musical staff. In
addition to inputting notes, this method can also be used to create a
song by joining patterns.
Inputting Notes and Rests
1. Make sure that the preparations for recording have been
performed as described in Before You Record a New Song
(p. 127).
If you will be recording into an existing song, load the desired
song into internal memory (p. 136). Then use [FWD] or [BWD] to
specify the measure at which you want to start recording. The
recording-start measure is indicated by M= at the top of each
PLAY screen.
2. Access the Song Edit screen or the Pattern Edit screen (p.
136).
3. Press [6 (Step Rec)].
The [REC] indicator will blink, and the Step Recording Standby
window appears.

4. Make settings for step recording. Use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the VALUE dial
or press [INC]/[DEC] to set it.

begin.

MIX: Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally, you will record
using this method. If a performance has already been recorded on
the recording-destination track, your newly recorded performance
will be added to the existing performance without erasing it.
REPLACE: Replace-recording will be carried out. If a performance
has already been recorded on the recording-destination track, it will
be erased as you record your new performance. Use this when you
want to re-record.
