Record Your Own Performance
You can record up to 5 of your own performances and save them as
user songs 031 through 035. Once your performances have been saved
as user songs, they can be converted to SMF (Standard MID File) for-
mat files and saved to USB flash memory (page 94) and used with
score display. So when inspiration strikes and you create a great mel-
ody, you can save it in both listenable and written score form.
■ Recordable Data
You can record to a total of 6 tracks: 5 melody tracks and 1 style (chord) track.
Each track can be recorded individually.
● Melody Track [1]–[5]...........Record the melody parts.
● Style Track [A] ....................Records the chord part.
To record your own performance, first use the SONG MEMORY [1]–[5] and [A] buttons to specify the
track(s) you want to record on. The track you record on determines the part that plays back later.
• Up to approximately 10,000
notes can be recorded if you
record only to the melody
tracks. Up to approximately
5,500 chord changes can be
recorded if you record only to
the style track.
• User songs cannot display a
score as is, but they can be con-
verted to SMF (Standard MIDI
File) format and stored to USB
flash memory (page 94), from
which they can be played with
score display.
NOTE
Track Configuration
• Track [1]—Will play back as the right-hand melody
part (MELODY R)
• Track [2]—Will play back as the left-hand melody
part (MELODY L)
• Tracks [3]–[5]—Will play back as “other” perfor-
mance data.
• Track [A]—Will play back as the Style (auto-accom-
paniment) part.
• The Difference Between MELODY R and MELODY L ...
Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto-accom-
paniment style. Normally “melody” refers to the right-hand
part, but in this instrument “melody” parts are provided for
both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody
part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the mel-
ody part played by the left hand.
