Recording to RIGHT/LEFT
This lets you record the right and left parts separately. Since you can record the left part while play-
ing back the right, this is useful for independently recording both parts of a duet.
1. Make all the initial settings.
Same as step 1 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 28.
2. Select a song to record.
Press the [SONG SELECT] button so that the “USER”
indicator lights then press the [–/NO][+/YES] buttons to
select a song for recording.
CAUTION
To avoid erasing previously recorded song(s):
If the song contains data, the part indicator lights up green
when you select a song. Note that recording new data on this
part will erase the existing data.
3. Engage the Record Ready mode.
Press the [REC] button and press the [RIGHT]/[LEFT]
button to engage the Record Ready mode. Recording
does not actually start yet.
The amount of memory available for recording will be
shown on the display in approximate kilobytes. This
value is expressed in kilobytes and indicates how much
space remains available for recording on the P-140. You
can record up to a maximum of about 11,000 notes on
the P-140 depending on pedal usage and other factors.
The
[PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at the current
METRONOME tempo setting.
Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the
[REC]
button again.
4. Start and stop recording.
Same as steps 3-5 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 29.

Part button indications
Off: Contains no data
On (green): Contains data
On (red): Part is enabled for
recording
If the metronome was on when
you started recording, you’ll be
able to keep time with the metro-
nome while recording, but the
metronome sound will not be
recorded.
If you want to change the tempo,
time signature, reverb type, or
effect type when rerecording a
part or when recording to another
part, do so after entering the
Record Ready mode.
If you don’t want to hear the previ-
ously recorded part while you
record (for example, when you
want to record a song different
from what you recorded on the
previous part), press the play-
back part button before pressing
the [REC] button so that its indi-
cator is turned off.
For more information on record-
ing, see page 32.
