• There are sixteen tracks for MIDI performance data,

and a master track which controls the time
signature and tempo.

Preparations for recording

Before you begin recording, make sure that the
memory protect setting in Global mode is turned
off. For more information, see “Memory protect” on
page 167.

Creating a Song

Before we can begin this example, we need to select an
empty song where we can record.

1. Press the MODE SEQ switch to enter Sequencer

mode.

2. Choose “Song Select” (e.g., in the P0: Play/REC–

MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page).
You can press the Song Select Popup button, and
choose from a list.

3. Use the numeric keys to input the number of the

new song you want to create, and press the ENTER
switch. (For example, press the 1 switch and then
the ENTER switch.) A dialog box will appear.
If you pressed the Song Select Popup to access the
Song No. dialog box, press the desired song number
to open the dialog box.

4. Press the OK button to create the song.

Use “Set Length” to input the desired number of
measures and press the OK button. You can change
the number of measures later if desired. For more
information, see “Set Song Length” on page 541 of
the Parameter Guide.

If you created a song by opening the Song No.
dialog box, press the OK button in the Song No.
dialog box to close it.

Track settings

Since we’re going to record a new song in this
example, we will start by explaining how to assign a
program to each MIDI track, and make basic settings
such as volume.

For details on audio tracks, refer to “Audio recording”
on page 96.
