Select a PHRASE Pad For Recording

Press the PHRASE pad you intend to record to

while holding the [REC/STOP] button. The REC/
STOP indicator will flash, indicating that the se-
lected pad is ready to record.

Play a Phrase

Recording begins automatically as soon as you

play on the keyboard using the RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2,
or LEAD voice (see “NOTES”, below), and the
REC/STOP indicator will light continuously as long
as recording continues.

NOTES

• Only one voice can be recorded to the pads.

• If more than one voice is selected when the pad record

mode is engaged, the voice with the highest priority will be
used for recording. The RIGHT 1 voice has the highest
priority, followed by the RIGHT 2 voice, and then the
LEAD voice.

• The RIGHT 1 voice will automatically be selected if the

RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD voices are off when the pad
record mode is engaged.

• When a pad is recorded all previous data in that pad will

be erased and replaced by the new data.

• The preset pad data can be reloaded via the RECALL

PRESET DATA function described on page 115.

• Recorded phrases which are to be played using the

CHORD MATCH function (page 103) should be recorded
in the key of C major 7.

• You can record phrases while AUTO BASS CHORD

accompaniment is playing or stopped. In either case the
phrase will be recorded in relation to the currently set
accompaniment tempo, so it is a good idea to record
phrases while monitoring the accompaniment to ensure
that they are reproduced at an appropriate tempo when
played back with accompaniment.

Stop Recording

Press the [REC/STOP] button to stop recording

when you’ve finished playing the phrase. The [REC/
STOP] button indicator will go out when recording
ends.

NOTES

• Recording will stop automatically if the PHRASE pad

memory becomes full (approximately 350 notes per pad),
or if another pad is pressed.
