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
HP103e/102e.
• Recording just your own keyboard performance ( →
“Recording a New Song” p. 22)
• Recording along with an internal song ( → “Recording
Along with a Song” p. 23)
• Recording each hand separately ( → “Selecting and
Recording the Track for Each Hand Separately” p. 24)
■ Notes Regarding Recording
• Only one song can be recorded.
• Recorded performances are erased when the power is
turned off. If you want to keep your performance, you
can either record it on an external audio device, or use
an external MIDI device to save the performance data
on a floppy disk. For details, refer to Chapter 6. Con-
necting External Devices
(p. 29).
If you see the following...
If you attempt to record using a different internal song
when a performance has already been recorded, the fol-
lowing will appear, and the indicators of [Rec] and [Play]
button will blink.
If it is OK to erase the performance, press the [Rec] button.
If you do not want to erase the performance, press the
[Play] button.
Recording a New Song
Record only the keyboard performance without playing
along with an internal song.
Recording settings (select “USr”)
1. Press the [Song/Tempo] button, getting its indica-
tor to light in red.
The song number appears in the display for several sec-
onds.
2. Press [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, and
“USr” appears in the display.
Specifying the tone and tempo for record-
ing
3. Select the tone that you want to play (p. 13).
4. If necessary, turn on the metronome.
Sound the metronome while you set the tempo and beat of
the song (p. 18).
5. Press the [Rec] button.
The [Rec] button’s indicator will light, the [Play] button’s
indicator will blink, and you will be in recording-standby
mode.
Start recording
6. Recording will start when you either press the
[Play] button or play the keyboard.
Two measures of the count sound are played, and the
recording begins. Note that recording will also begin as
soon as you play anything on the keyboard, even if you do
not press the [Play] button. There is no count sound
played when you start in this manner.
When recording begins, the [Play] button and [Rec] button
indicators will light.
Go ahead and perform on the keyboard.
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.
When recording songs that start on an upbeat (that
start on a beat other than the first beat of the measure),
press the [Rec] button to put the HP103e/102e into
recording standby, then press the [Play] button. Two
measures of count sound are played, and then record-
ing begins.
