With the powerful and easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard perfor-
mances to a floppy disk as a User song, and create your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions.
Each User song lets you record up to sixteen independent tracks. These include not only the voices for
the keyboard performance (R1, R2, R3, L), but also the auto accompaniment parts and Vocal Harmony
effect.
● Song Tracks
The tracks which can be recorded to the songs are organized as shown in the chart below.
● Multi Track Recording/Quick Recording
• Multi Track Recording
In Multi Track Recording, you determine the track assignments (as shown above) before record-
ing. Several tracks can be recorded simultaneously. In addition to being able to record to empty
tracks, you can also re-record tracks that already contain recorded data.
• Quick Recording
In Quick Recording, you can quickly record without having to worry about the track assignments
above. Quick Recording automatically makes track assignments according to the simple rules
below.
When “MANUAL” tracks are set to REC, your keyboard performances (VOICE R1, R2, R3, L) and
Multi Pads playback are recorded to tracks 1~8 as listed below.
When “ACMP” tracks are set to REC, the auto accompaniment parts are recorded to tracks 9 ~
16 as listed below.
● Realtime Recording/Step Recording
• Realtime Recording
This method records performance data in real time, overwriting any data already present in the
destination track. The new data replaces the previous data.
Basic information on recording a new song, refer to the "Quick Guide" on pages 36 and 38.
• Step Recording
This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is
a non-realtime, step recording method - similar to writing music notation onto paper.
The Song Creator offers two different step recording types: Chord Step (available for Quick
Recording) and Step Recording (available for Multi Track Recording).
