Start recording.
There are several different ways you can start recording.
• Starting by playing the keyboard
If you’ve selected the SONG [TRACK 1(R)]/[TRACK 2 (L)] buttons in step 3
above, play in the right-hand section of the keyboard (page 79). If you’ve
selected the SONG [EXTRA TRACKS (STYLES)] button in step 3 above,
play in the left-hand (chord) section of the keyboard (page 111). Record-
ing begins automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard.
• Starting by pressing the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button
If you start recording in this way, “empty” data is recorded until you play a
note on the keyboard. This is useful for starting a Song with a short one-or
two-beat pick-up or lead-in.
• Starting by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.
In this case the rhythm parts (channels) of the Style begin playing back and
recording starts simultaneously.

Press the SONG [STOP] button to stop recording.
When recording is finished, a message prompting you to save the recorded
performance data appears. To close the message, press the [EXIT] button.
See step 7 for instructions on saving your recording.

Listen to your newly recorded performance. Press the SONG [PLAY/
PAUSE] button to play back the performance you just recorded.

Multi Track Recording
A Song consists of 16 separate channels. With this method, you can record data to
each channel independently, one by one. Both Keyboard and Style parts can be
recorded.

for recording also, as necessary (page 45).

mance while playing back the
metronome (page 30). But the
metronome sound is not
recorded.
