Recording Your Performance

Your digital piano's recording function enables you to record your performance of one song. The recorded performance is

called the "user song."

You can record up to two parts separately. For example, you can record the left-hand and right-hand parts separately.

Or, you can create a duet piece by recording each part one at a time and then playing them together.

Follow the steps below to record and play back your performance.

Recording Your Performance

Make all initial settings.

Before you begin to record, select the voice that you want to use for recording. (See

page16.)

Make any other desired settings (reverb, etc.) as well.

Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume to a comfortable listening

level. You can also use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume level

during playback.

Select a part and engage Record Ready mode.

Hold down the [REC] button and press the [+ R] or [– L] button for the part you

want to record to engage Record Ready mode.

If you press the [REC] button and play both parts without specifying the recording

part, the performance will automatically be recorded to the right part ([+ R]).

Recording does not actually start yet.

Recording the right part ([+ R])

Recording the left part ([– L])

The [REC] button indicator and the selected part button indicator will flash at the

currently-selected tempo. (It may take a moment before the indicator starts to flash.)

Press the [REC] button again if you wish to cancel Record mode.

Turning the playback part on and off

If data has already been recorded in the [+ R] and/or [– L] part, the indicator for

the part(s) will light up, and the data in the part(s) will start playing back as soon as

you start recording your performance.

If you do not want to hear the part playback, hold down the [PLAY] button and press

the button ([+ R] or [– L]) for the part you want to mute.

Its indicator will turn off.

Pressing the part buttons toggles part playback on and off.

NOTICE

Be careful not to erase the

recorded data!

When you finish recording

your performance, the

indicator for the part button

([+ R] and/or [– L]) lights up.

Recording another

performance while this

indicator remains on will

overwrite the existing

recorded data.

You cannot engage Record

mode while a demo song is

playing.

The User song will not be

transmitted via MIDI.

Recording capacity

"Recording capacity" is the

maximum amount of

performance data that you

can record. This instrument's

recording capacity is 100 KB

(approximately 11,000 notes).
