Practicing
Saving a performance you’ve recorded
* If you want to save to the USB flash drive (sold separately), connect your USB flash drive to the USB memory port before you continue.
1.
Press the [ ] (Play/Stop) button to stop recording (p . 29) .
Recording will stop, and a message will ask whether you want to save your performance.
2.
To save your performance, press the [ ] (Fast) button to select “Y .”
The performance will be saved.
The recorded performance is saved at the earliest vacant song number.
The song is automatically given a name in this format: “Song nnn,” where “nnn” is the song number.
NOTE
Never turn off the power while the screen indicates “Working...”
If you don’t want to save your performance, press the [ ] (Slow) button to select “N.”
A message will ask you to confirm that you want to erase the song.
If you’re sure that it’s OK to erase your performance, press the [
] (Fast) button to select “Y.”
If you decide not to carry out the erasure, press the [ ] (Slow) button to select “N.”
Saving to a specific memory, song number, or song name
If you press the [Song] button instead of the [ ] (Fast) button in step 2, you’ll be able to specify the save-destination memory, song number,
and song name used for saving the performance.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Saving a Song with the Name You Specify” (p. 37).
Listening to a performance you’ve recorded
You can listen to the recorded performance before you save it.
1.
In step 1 of “Saving a performance you’ve recorded” (p . 30), press the [ ] (Play/Stop) button .
Playback will start from the beginning of the performance you recorded.
Overdubbing a Recorded Song
When recording an SMF, you can overdub each part separately. For example, you can record the left-hand and right-hand parts separately, or record
along with a song.
Recording each hand separately
You can separately record your left-hand performance to the [Left] button and your right-hand performance to the [Right] button. You can also
separately re-record each hand afterward.
Getting ready to record
1.
Select the tone that you want to use for performing (p . 14) .
2.
Press the [ ] (Rec) button .
The [ ] (Rec) button will light, the [ ] (Play/Stop) button will blink, and the unit will enter
recording-standby mode.
If you decide not to record, press the [
] (Rec) button once again.
3.
If desired, sound the metronome (p . 22) .
MEMO
If you change the metronome’s tempo and time signature, they will be recorded with the song, allowing the metronome to sound correctly during
playback.
