NOTE

If you layer a newly recorded

performance without erasing

the recorded song, the song

tempo and beat will be stored

with the settings that were

recorded first.

Refer to the previous page if

recording a song that starts

with pickup beats (where the

song begins on a beat other

than the first beat of the

measure).

About the “USr” display

When you stop recording, the

” display will change

to “

.”

The “.” in the lower right of the

display indicates that there is

already a recorded

performance.

If you record without

specifying the recording track,

the performance will be

recorded to the [Left] button.

If you want to record the right

and left hands separately on

separate recording tracks, refer

to “Recording the Right-Hand

and Left-Hand Parts

Separately” (p. 36).
