Keyboard recording mode
In Keyboard mode, you can record the Keyboard parts. The
Arranger is not available. Essentially, this mode allows you to
record either one layered part using up to two sounds (Main +
Dual) or two parts (Split to the left, Main to the right). If you
select a Drum Kit for the Main part, you can only record a drum
part.
Note: When you select the Keyboard mode, song data in the E-200/
E-100’s internal memory will be overwritten by your new recording.
(1) Press the [REC≈∏] button.
(2) Press FAMILY [√][®] to make the display look as follows:
The and track icons flash.
(3) To create a split, press the [SPLIT] button.
(4) Activate the metronome (if necessary), and set the desired
tempo with the [TAP¥TEMPO] button or [NO/–]/[YES/+].
You can also record without metronome if you like.
Note: If you assign a Drum Kit to the Main part, your drum per-
formance is recorded onto track 16.
Single recording mode
This mode is only available if the E-200/E-100’s song memory
already contains data. When you press [REC≈∏], the
icon and the icon of the first empty track flash. You could
therefore record a new part straight away. (If all tracks already
contain data, Track 1 will be selected.)
You can, however, also substitute an already recorded part with
a new version.
(1) Press the [REC≈∏] button.
(2) Press FAMILY [√][®] to select “Single”.
(3) Use the SELECT [√][®] buttons to select the track you wish
to record to.
You can only select one track at a time (hence the name
“Single”). If you select a track that already contains data,
your new version will overwrite the existing one.
(4) If necessary, assign the desired Tone to the part you are
about to record (see p. 28).
If you select track [10], you can select Drum Kits rather than
Tones. Track 10 is reserved for drum parts.
Note: If you use the Single recording mode for adding parts to
a Standard MIDI File recorded with another instrument or
sequencer, track 16 (or any other track defined as “second drum
track”) may also use a Drum Kit that can be changed.
Note: Even though the Main part can be used for recording all
tracks in Single mode, the MFX only applies to track/MIDI chan-
nel 4.
(5) Press [START÷STOP] to start recording.
After a two-measure count-in (see p. 38), you will hear all
parts that have already been recorded. Start playing (and
recording) your new part.
(6) Press [START÷STOP] to stop recording.
(7) Return to step (3) to record additional parts.
Punch I/O
In this mode, you can re-record part of a track (the second
chorus, for example). The important aspect of this mode is
that newly recorded material does not erase the material
before or after the passage you redo.
By contrast, in Single mode, the entire track you record is
replaced by your new material. (So if you don’t play anything
during recording, the entire track will be empty afterwards.)
Like the Single mode, Punch I/O can only be selected if the
E-200/E-100’s memory already contains song data.
(1) Press the [REC≈∏] button.
(2) Press FAMILY [√][®] to make the display look as follows:
The flashing track icon (only one) depends on the first track
that already contains data. In the above example, track 1
contains data, which is why its icon flashes.
(3) Use the SELECT [√][®] buttons to select the track you wish
to record to.
You can only select one track at a time.
(4) Press [START÷STOP] to start playback of the (old) song
data.
The icon and the icon of the selected track flash.
(5) When the Recorder reaches the measure where you wish
to start recording, press [REC≈∏] again.
The icon now lights steadily.
(6) Play the passage you want to redo.
(7) Press [REC≈∏] again to deactivate recording.
Song playback still continues, so…
(8) Press [START÷STOP] to stop playback.
(9) Press [START÷STOP] to listen to the new version.
If you are not satisfied, return to step (3) above.
Return to step (3) to correct another track.
