Chapter 4. Recording Your Performance

You can easily record your performances.

A recorded performance can be played back to hear your own playing, or to add

additional parts.

The following types of recording can be done using the DP-970.

• Recording just your own keyboard performance

(

“Recording a New Song” p. 34)

• Recording along with an internal song (

“Recording Along with a Song” p. 35)

• Recording each hand separately (

“Recording the Right-Hand and Left-Hand

Parts Separately” p. 36)

Notes Regarding Recording

• Only one song can be recorded.

• Recorded performances are normally deleted when you turn off the power to

the DP-970, but you can use the Song Backup function (p. 39) to have the

recorded performance be retained even while the power is turned off.

• You can also record performances to external audio devices as well as save

performance data onto floppy disks or other media using an external MIDI

device. For details, refer to “Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices” (p. 45).

If you attempt to record using a different internal song when a performance has

already been recorded, the following will appear, and the indicators of [Rec] button
