Creating and Editing Songs
You can record a performance layered over a previously recorded
performance. This method is called “Mix Recording.”
1. In the “Rec Mode,” select (p. 159).
2. Record the performance using the procedures described
in “Recording While Selecting the Track Buttons
(Redoing Recordings)” (p. 131), “Multitrack Recording
with 16 Parts (16-Track Sequencer)” (p. 156), or other
methods.
* After you have finished with mix recording, return to the usual
replace recording mode.
You can record a specified passage over and over, layering sounds
with each pass. This method is called “Loop Recording.” This is
handy when recording a Rhythm Part.
For example, use this method to make a Loop Recording of a four-
measure segment. First record the bass drum, the snare drum next,
then the hi-hat and so on, layering a different instrument onto the
same four measures. After you have finished recording the four-
measure rhythm pattern, you can then use the procedure in
“Copying Measures (Copy)” (p. 164) to create as many copies of the
four measures as you need to complete your Rhythm part.
1. Place A and B markers at the beginning and end of the
passage you want to record.
Take a look at “Setting Markers for Repeated Practice (Marker)” (p.
118).
If you haven’t recorded anything yet, then use “Blank Recording” to
create the necessary number of measures before placing the
markers.
2. In the “Rec Mode,” select (p. 159).
3. Press the [ (Rec)] button.
4. Press the track buttons that you don’t want to record, so
the indicators of those buttons are turned off.
The button of the track that you’re recording will start blinking, and
the RM-700 will enter recording-standby mode.
5. Press the [ (Play/Stop)] button to begin recording.
Recording starts from Marker A.
When the song reaches Marker B, it then returns to Marker A, where
recording continues.
Each time the recording is looped, the newest sounds are layered
over previously recorded sounds.
6. When you press the [ (Play/Stop)] button,
recording stops.
* After you have finished with loop recording, return to the usual
replace recording mode (p. 159).

What is Blank Recording?
Blank Recording is recording a number of silent measures with no
content.
1. Set the basic tempo and beat of the song.
2. Press the [ (Rec)] button, select SMF recording,
and then press the [ (Play/Stop)] button.
The indicators for the [ (Rec)] and [ (Play/Stop)]
buttons both light up, then after two measures of the count
sound, recording begins.
3. Without performing anything, record only the
required number of measures, then press the
[
(Play/Stop)] button.
The indicators for the [ (Rec)] and [ (Play/Stop)]
buttons both go out, and recording stops.
Loop Recording Shortcut
You can also use the method described below to set Loop
Recording.
1. Place A and B markers at the beginning and end of
the passage you want to record.
Refer to “Setting Markers for Repeated Practice (Marker)” (p.
118).
If you haven’t recorded anything yet, then perform “Blank
Recording” for the necessary number of measures before
placing the markers.
2. Touch the icon in the Marker screen (p.
118).
This sets the loop recording mode.
Start a recording.
* After you have finished with loop recording, touch the
icon in the “Marker screen” once more to return to
the usual replace recording mode.
