• Pressing FREE SESSION while
recording with a free session
accompaniment turns off the accom-
paniment; however, the keyboard
continues playing the last chord
played before FREE SESSION was
turned off. You can change the
chord by specifying a different one
using the appropriate method (Fin-
gered, Concert Chord, etc.) as
determined by the
MODE setting.
Follow these steps to record as you
play.
1. Repeatedly press MEMORY until
Rec. No. appears.
Note: MEMORY is a three-way
switch. When you press it once, the
keyboard enters the memory play-
back mode. When you press it
again, it enters the memory record
mode. When you press the button a
third time, it turns off the memory
function.
2. Within 5 seconds, press + or – (or 0
or 1 ) to select a song number.
3. Press CHORD/1 to select Track 1.
While the keyboard is in memory
record mode, the level meters for
channels 11 through 16 correspond
to memory tracks 1 through 6. When
all four bars are lit, that channel has
something in memory: if only one
bar is lit, that track is empty.
4. If desired, you can change these
settings:
• tone number
• rhythm number
• tempo
• MODE
Note: Do not change the tempo
unless you already know the desired
tempo. Pressing
START/STOP to
hear the tempo causes recording to
begin.
5. Press START/STOP to start record-
ing.
6. Play the keyboard.
You can also record auto accompa-
niment chords, the drum pad, pitch
bender, and pedal operations.
7. Press START/STOP to end record-
ing.
If you make a mistake, press START/
STOP to stop recording and begin again
from Step 1, or you can edit the con-
tents. See “Editing Memory Contents”
on Page 39.
