2. Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready
mode.
This automatically selects an empty file (U01–U03) for recording and makes the
RIGHT part’s indicator turn red. If all file numbers contain recorded data, File
U01 will be selected. This simply enables recording; to start recording, go on to
step 3.
The [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at the current METRONOME tempo
setting.
You can turn on the metronome in this step, and adjust the tempo by using the
[TEMPO/FUNCTION –, +] buttons. (Range: 32–280)
Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC]
button again.
3. Start recording.
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard
or press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The current measure’s number will appear
on the display while recording.
4. Press either [REC] or [STOP] button to stop record-
ing.
When recording is stopped, dashes appear in the display in succession to indi-
cate that the recorded data is being saved to the instrument automatically. After
the data is saved, the file name (U01–U03) appears in the display. The recorded
part’s indicator will light in green to indicate that it now contains data. (Record
mode is disengaged automatically.)
CAUTION
Never attempt to turn the [STANDBY/ON] switch OFF while flashing dashes appear
in the display (these indicate data is being written to internal memory). Turning the
power off in this state results in loss of all recorded data.
5. Play back the recorded performance.
Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to play back the recorded performance. To stop
playback in the middle of a song, press the [STOP] button.
TERMINOLOGY
Mode:
A mode is a status under which
you can execute a certain func-
tion. In Record Ready mode, you
can record your performance.
If you have selected the LEFT
part previously in the same file,
the LEFT part will automatically
be made active when pressing
the [REC] button in step 2.
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.
For more recording information,
see page 29.
The function of the [PLAY/
PAUSE] button can be assigned
to the AUX pedal (pages 39, 43).
This allows you to start recording
by pressing the Footswitch con-
nected to the AUX jack.
Song recording can not be
paused, even by pressing the
[PLAY/PAUSE] button.
If the memory becomes full dur-
ing recording, “FUL” will appear
on the display and recording will
stop automatically. (All recorded
data up to that point will be
retained.)
Pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] but-
ton to start recording, then press-
ing the [STOP] button to stop
recording will erase all previously
recorded data on the selected
part.
