7. Record the selected part.
Use the START or SYNCHRO START buttons to start and stop recording.
Press START to start recording immediately, or press SYNCHRO START to start recording at the
first press of a key in the Lower keyboard. (Pressing a pedal in the Pedalboard can also start
recording when the A.B.C. mode is set to Off or Custom A.B.C.; see page 60.) The BAR/BEAT
display indicates the measures and beats during recording.
Recording Rhythm Parts
When a Rhythm part is set to REC, the Upper/Lower keyboards and Pedalboard are
automatically set to play drum/percussion sounds. (For sound/key assignments, see page 126.)
Symbols for percussion sounds and the corresponding key are shown for convenience on the
Lower keyboard.
Rhythm parts can be “overdubbed” — in other words, you can record additional sounds “on
top” of each other as the pattern is looping. For example, you might first record a bass drum
sound, and then add other drum/percussion sounds until you're satisfied with the rhythm
you’ve created. If you wish to delete a specific percussion sound from the part and leave the
others intact, use the Direct Cancel function (see page 135).
Recording Non-rhythm Parts (Bass, Chord, Pad, and Phrase)
The Bass, Chord, Pad, and Phrase parts can also be overdubbed in the same manner as the
pattern is looping. Make sure to play all these non-rhythm parts within a C major scale (C
major 7) to ensure that the recorded parts will be properly used with the A.B.C. functions. Also,
Direct Cancel cannot be used to delete individual notes in a non-rhythm part; you must first
delete the part and re-record.
