Recording Your Performance

You can record your keyboard performance as a User Song in SMF format. Up to two Parts (L and R) can be
recorded separately.

1

Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.

Because some of the settings cannot be changed
after the Record mode is engaged, make the set-
tings according to your performance preferences.
For example, if you want to record your perfor-
mance with a Pianist Style, turn on [PIANIST
STYLE].

2

Press the [REC] to engage Record
Ready mode.

The [REC] lamp will flash according to the cur-
rent tempo. If necessary, set the tempo (page 18).

3

Play the keyboard or press [PLAY] to
start recording.

The [REC] lamp lights up while the [PLAY] lamp
flashes at the current tempo.

Play the keyboard and record your performance.

4

Press either [REC] or [PLAY] to stop
recording.

The [REC] and [PLAY] lamps flash, indicating
that the recorded data is being stored. After Store
is completed, the [REC] lamp turns off.

5

To hear the recorded Song, press [PLAY]
to start playback.

Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.

Part Assignment

When either the Pianist Style or Split/Duo is used
for recording, the data as listed below will be
recorded to each part.

You can record your performance to the L part (left
hand part) and R part (right hand part) separately.

1

Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.

2

While holding down [REC], press [R] or
[L] for the part you want to record, to
engage Record ready Mode.

• Note that the Recording operation replaces already

recorded data with the newly recorded data, since only
one User Song is available. Before recording, check
whether the [PLAY] lamp is lit or not. If the [PLAY] lamp is
lit, already recorded data exists and you may want to save
it. To save the recorded data, transfer it to a computer as an
SMF. For details, refer to “Computer-related Operations.”

• You can record up to 100 KB (or approximately 11,000 notes) on this instru-

ment.

Quick Recording

• You cannot engage Record mode while a song is playing.

• You can use the Metronome/Rhythm while recording; however, the Met-

ronome/Rhythm sound will not be recorded. When recording one of the
Pianist Styles along with your performance, the Metronome/Rhythm can
neither be heard nor recorded.

NOTICE

NOTE

NOTE

• Never turn off the power while the recorded data is

being stored (while the lamps are flashing). Other-
wise, all recorded data will be lost.
