Recording a Song

P. 55

To use Punch-in recording:

1) Select Punch In/Out in the Advanced Recorder menu.
2) Use the L and R buttons to select the options and change their values using the Dial. Select AUTO

with the R5 button to have the CP automatically handle the punching in/out while you play.

3) Press the REHEARSAL button (F4, F5) to listen to the song for rehearsal. If you need to adjust mixing

or if you would like to loop the song, use the MIXER (F2) or LOOP ON/OFF (F6) button.

4) When you are ready to record, press the REC button and then the PLAY button. The music will start

immediately from the Start Bar that you have chosen. Once the song reaches the Punch In Bar, any
notes that you play on the keyboard will be recorded.
Recording will stop when the song reaches the Punch-Out Bar, but the CP will keep playing back the
song to the end unless you press the STOP button.
You can repeat the punch-in/out section by turning the looping on with the F6 button.

5) Listen to what you have recorded and re-record if necessary.
