There are several different ways you can start recording.
Starting by playing the keyboard
If you’ve selected the SONG [TRACK 1]/[TRACK 2] buttons in step 3
above, play in the right-hand section of the keyboard (page 77). If you’ve
selected the SONG [EXTRA TRACKS (STYLES)] button in step 3 above,
play in the left-hand (chord) section of the keyboard (page 105). Record-
ing begins automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard.
Starting by pressing the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button
If you start recording in this way, “empty” data is recorded until you play a
note on the keyboard. This is useful for starting a Song with a short one-or
two-beat pick-up or lead-in.
Starting by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.
In this case the rhythm parts (channels) of the Style begin playing back and
recording starts simultaneously.

When recording is finished, a message prompting you to save the recorded
performance data appears. To close the message, press the [EXIT] button.

each channel independently, one by one. Both Keyboard and Style parts can be
