ENGLISH
1.
Make all the initial settings.
Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you
will be using Dual). Make any other desired settings (reverb, effect, etc.) as well.
You might also want to set the volume.
You can also adjust the playback volume using the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider.
2.
Engage Record Ready mode.
Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready mode. This automatically selects
an empty song for recording and makes the RIGHT part active. If an empty
song does not exist, Song U01 will be selected. Recording does not actually start
yet.
The
SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at the current METRONOME
tempo setting.
You can turn on the metronome in this step, and adjust the tempo by using the
[TEMPO/FUNCTION
▼, ▲] buttons. (Range: 32 – 280)
Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC]
button again.
3.
Start recording.
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard
or press the
SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The current measure’s number will
appear on the display while recording.
4.
Stop recording.
Press either [REC] or SONG [STOP] button to stop recording. When recording is
stopped, dashes appear in the display in succession to indicate that the recorded
data is being saved to the instrument automatically. After the data is saved, the
song name (U01 – U03) appears in the display. The recorded part’s indicator
will glow green to indicate that it now contains data. (Record mode is disen-
gaged automatically.)
Notice
Do not turn off the power of the instrument when dashes appear in the display in suc-
cession. Doing so may delete all song data in the instrument, including external songs
(page 40).

When the instrument is in Demo
Song mode or during a file opera-
tion, Record mode cannot be

The amount of memory avail-
able for recording:
This value in kilobytes (a unit

indicates how much space
remains available for recording on
the instrument. You can record up
to a maximum three songs, or up
to a maximum of about 100KB
(11,000 Notes) in each song on

If you have selected the LEFT
part previously in the same song,
the LEFT part will automatically
be made active when pressing
the [REC] button in step 2.
NOTE
If the metronome was on when
you started recording, you’ll be
able to keep time with the metro-
nome while recording, but the
metronome sound will not be
recorded.

The left pedal can be assigned to
start recording via the “Left Pedal
Mode” function described on
page 47.
NOTE
If the memory becomes full dur-
ing recording, “FUL” will appear
on the display and recording will
stop automatically. (All recorded
data up to that point will be
retained.)
