Convenient Functions

Recording and Playback Setting

Multitrack recording is a method of recording whereby you listen to
what has previously been recorded while recording new parts on top
of that material.

The HPi-6 lets you record 16 separate parts. By recording a different
tone to each part, you can create song data for performances that
feature up to 16 different tones layered together.

The function used for recording the 16 individual parts one at a time
is called the “16-track sequencer.”

16-Track Sequencer and the Track Buttons

In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track
Buttons” (p. 54) are another of the unit’s playing/recording
functions.

These “track buttons” group the 16-track sequencer’s 16 parts with
five buttons. Using the 16-track sequencer to work with
performances recorded with the track buttons allows you to record
even more sounds and edit with precision.

The track buttons correspond to the 16-track sequencer’s parts as
shown below.

Each of the 16-track sequencer’s parts is used for recording a single
tone, so you cannot use it to record tones that combine two tones
simultaneously, as in Dual (p. 51) and Split (p. 52) performances.

You can also change the tones in each part, select specific parts for
playback (solo), and prevent specified parts from playing (mute).
Playback with only a single part muted is called “Minus One.”

You can even set solo and muting during playback.

Part 11 of Roland SMF music file that is available for purchase is
included with the track button [2/Accomp], but the correspondence of
other parts to the track buttons is the same.
