Recording to RIGHT/LEFT parts
This lets you record the right and left parts separately. Since you can record the left part while play-
ing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet.
1.
Make all the initial settings.
Same as step 1 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 28.
2.
Select a song to record.
Press the [SONG SELECT] button to light “USER” indicator on, then press the
[–/NO][+/YES] buttons to select a song for recording.
Notice
To avoid erasing previously recorded song(s):
If the song contains data, the part indicator lights up green when you select a song.
Note that recording new data on this part will erase the existing data.
3.
Engage Record Ready mode.
Press the [REC] button and press the [RIGHT]/[LEFT] button to engage
Record Ready mode. Recording does not actually start yet.
The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will flash at the current METRONOME
tempo setting.
Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC]
button again.
4.
Start and stop recording.
Same as step 3 – 4 in “Recording a performance quickly” on page 28.
NOTE
Part button indications
Off: Contains no data
On (green): Contains data
On (red): Part is enabled for
recording
NOTE
The amount of memory avail-
able for recording:
This value in kilobytes (a unit
used of measurement for data)
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
the instrument depending on
pedal usage and other factors.
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.
NOTE
If you want to change the time
signature, make sure to change it
before entering Record Ready
mode.
If you want to change the tempo,
reverb type, or effect type when
rerecording a part or when
recording to another part, do so
after entering Record Ready
mode.
The Time Signature of a recorded
song cannot be changed. If you
want to record a song with
another Time Signature, first save
a song to USB storage (see page
34), and delete the recorded both
parts of the song (see page 31,
Deleting a selected part), then set
the desired time signature, and
begin a new recording.
NOTE
If you don’t want to hear the previ-
ously recorded part while you
record (for example, when you
want to record a song different
from what you recorded on the
previous part), press the play-
back part button before pressing
the [REC] button so that its indi-
cator is turned off.

ing, see page 31.
