Recording a specified Part (SONG TRACK)
In the SONG TRACK screen you can specify the Part that you
want to record. A performance using one Tone will be
recorded on each Part.
If you’re recording on a specified Part, recording with a Style

you’ve specified. If you’re recording on a specified Part, we
recommend that you play without using Styles.
