Recording Your Performance
You can record your keyboard performance as a User Song in SMF format. Up to two Parts (L and R) can be
recorded separately.
1
Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.
Because some of the settings cannot be changed
after the Record mode is engaged, make the set-
tings according to your performance preferences.
For example, if you want to record your perfor-
mance with a Pianist Style, turn on [PIANIST
STYLE].
2
Press the [REC] to engage Record
Ready mode.
The [REC] lamp will flash according to the cur-
rent tempo. If necessary, set the tempo (page 18).
3
Play the keyboard or press [PLAY] to
start recording.
The [REC] lamp lights up while the [PLAY] lamp
flashes at the current tempo.
Play the keyboard and record your performance.
4
Press either [REC] or [PLAY] to stop
recording.
The [REC] and [PLAY] lamps flash, indicating
that the recorded data is being stored. After Store
is completed, the [REC] lamp turns off.
5
To hear the recorded Song, press [PLAY]
to start playback.
Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.
Part Assignment
When either the Pianist Style or Split/Duo is used
for recording, the data as listed below will be
recorded to each part.
You can record your performance to the L part (left
hand part) and R part (right hand part) separately.
1
Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.
2
While holding down [REC], press [R] or
[L] for the part you want to record, to
engage Record ready Mode.
• Note that the Recording operation replaces already
recorded data with the newly recorded data, since only
one User Song is available. Before recording, check
whether the [PLAY] lamp is lit or not. If the [PLAY] lamp is
lit, already recorded data exists and you may want to save
it. To save the recorded data, transfer it to a computer as an
SMF. For details, refer to “Computer-related Operations.”
• You can record up to 100 KB (or approximately 11,000 notes) on this instru-
ment.
Quick Recording
• You cannot engage Record mode while a song is playing.
• You can use the Metronome/Rhythm while recording; however, the Met-
ronome/Rhythm sound will not be recorded. When recording one of the
Pianist Styles along with your performance, the Metronome/Rhythm can
neither be heard nor recorded.
NOTICE
NOTE
NOTE
• Never turn off the power while the recorded data is
being stored (while the lamps are flashing). Other-
wise, all recorded data will be lost.
