Using the RC-20 for practicing—Phrase Trainer
When recording a song from CD or MD, you can erase vocals or guitar solos that
locate at the center of the sound field. This function makes it easy to create “minus-
one” data for practicing.
You can also adjust the tempo while the phrase plays back. Unlike a multitrack
tape recorder, changing the tempo of the song will not affect the pitch. This is
convenient when you wish to slow down the tempo for practicing.
Creating minus-one data
1.
Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select an empty phrase track 1–10
(PHRASE USED indicator extinguished).
If there is no empty phrase track or if the MEMORY FULL indicator is lit, no further
phrases can be recorded. You will need to erase unnecessary phrases (p. 23).
2.
Press the MODE button to select the recording method.
If you wish to create minus-one data, select “CENTER CANCEL” or “CENTER
FLAT AMP SIMULATE” (p. 13).
* If an effect such as reverb has been applied to the sounds localized at the center, it may not
be possible to erase the sound completely.
3.
Set the tempo by pressing the TAP TEMPO button or the right pedal several
times in time with the tempo of the phrase you wish to record.
4.
If you want recording to begin at the moment the performance starts, turn the
AUTO START button on (indicator lit).
5.
Press the left pedal to start recording.
* If the internal memory is used up, recording or overdubbing may stop before you are
finished. If this occurs, erase unnecessary phrases (p. 23), and try the operation again.
6.
Press the right pedal to stop recording.
When recording ends, the tempo of the phrase will be assigned automatically.
* The automatic tempo setting is calculated with a time signature of 4/4. If you are
recording a phrase whose time signature is different, you must re-set the correct tempo
after recording (p.24).
7.
Press the WRITE button, getting the indicator to start blinking. To save the
data in the same phrase track, press the WRITE button once again.
If you wish to save the data in a different phrase track, press the WRITE button (so
its indicator is blinking), use the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the desired save
destination, and then press the WRITE button once again.
* For details on saving, refer to “Saving a phrase” (p. 23).
