Song Recording
The PSR-620 SONG TRACKS allows you to record and play back a
complete song including chord sequences created using the Auto Ac-
companiment feature and a melody line you play on the keyboard. The
SONG TRACKS include one ACCOMP track and two MELODY tracks.
Song number 26 is available for recording your own songs (the “user”
song). Only one song can be retained in the PSR-620 memory at a time,
but your songs can be saved to floppy disk - up to 100 songs per disk (the
actual number depends on the volume of the song data) - and then
reloaded later whenever you want to play them (see pgae 66).
• Material recorded on the SONG TRACKs is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is
turned OFF if batteries are present or an AC adaptor is connected. It is neverthless a good idea to
save important song data to floppy disk so you have a backup in case of accidental erasure.
• The recorded data will be lost if the power is turned OFF, the AC adaptor is unplugged, or the
batteries fail during recording.
• Up to approximately 1500 notes can be recorded to the MELODY tracks, or approximately 750
chords can be recorded to the ACCOMP track.
The SONG MELODY tracks record the following operations and data:
