Recording your performance
Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current
Program or Combination into a Song, and then puts
the system in record-ready mode. When inspiration
strikes, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. To do so from Program mode:
Select the program that you want to use for recording.
If desired, you can turn on the ARP or DRUM TRACK
buttons to add an arpeggiator or drum kit
performance.
1. While holding down the ENTER button, press the
SEQUENCER REC ( ) button.
The message “Do you continue?” will appear in the
Setup to Record dialog box in the display.
2. Press the REC ( ) button once again.
(Alternatively, you can use the OK button or the
ENTER button.)
The KROME will automatically switch to Sequencer
mode and enter the record-standby state, and the click
will begin sounding in time with the tempo (
). Adjust
the tempo ( ) as desired (see “TEMPO controls” on
page 7.).
3. Press the START/STOP ( ) button to start the
sequencer and begin recording.
With the default settings, there will be a two measure
count-down before recording starts.
4. Play what you’d like to record, and then press the
START/STOP ( ) button to stop recording.
The sequencer will automatically return to the
beginning of the Song.
5. Press the START/STOP ( ) button to hear
what you recorded.
Since you started in Program mode, your playing will
have been recorded on Track 1. If you used the Drum
Track, it will have been recorded on Track 10. For
Combinations, more tracks are used as needed.
Adding another track
Let’s add another track to the performance that you
recorded using Auto Song Setup.
1. Press the Preference tab to access the P0:
Play/REC– Preference page. At the right, clear the
“Multi REC” check box.
Note: Auto Song Setup turns this on to record the
Program’s Drum Track, or multiple channels in a
Combination.
2. Press the Prog 1–8 tab to access the P0: Play/REC–
Program T01–08 page.
3. Below the Song name, open the Track Select
popup and select MIDI Track 02.
This controls both the track that you play from the
keyboard, and (with Multi REC turned off) the track
that’s recorded.
4. Using the Category or Bank/Program Select popup
menus, select a Program for Track 02.
5. If you had turned on the ARP and DRUM TRACK
buttons, turn them off.
6. Press the LOCATE ( ) button to go back to the
start of the Song.
7. Press the REC ( ) button to enable recording, and
then press the START/STOP ( ) button to
start.
8. Play what you’d like to record, and then press the
START/STOP ( ) button when you’re done.
