Count start function
The count start function inserts a two-measure count before
the rhythm style plays.
The count has the same time signature as the rhythm
style.
Using the count start function
1.
Press the [Count Start] button to turn on the count start
function (the button blinks).
2. Press the [
] button.
A two-measure count sounds, and then the rhythm style
starts (the [Count Start] button goes dark).
Tonal character when the tempo/
playback speed is adjusted
In the STAGEMAN 80’s Rhythm mode, dedicated audio data
for the rhythm styles are played back.
Multiple audio data are provided so that each audio data will
provide a natural performance in its tempo range.
When you adjust the tempo, the audio data being played back
may be switched depending on the range of the adjustment;
this can cause the character of the sound to differ somewhat
depending on the tempo.
Recorder mode
The STAGEMAN 80 can record a variety of input sources,
such as the performance of an instrument connected to the
INPUT 1 jack or INPUT 2 jack, the vocal from a mic connected
to the MIC IN jack, or an electronic instrument connected to
the AUX IN jack.
The recorded data is saved in 44.1 kHz/16-bit stereo WAV
format on an SD card inserted in the SD card slot.
You can record up to 50 songs on an SD card inserted in the
SD card slot. However in some cases, the number of songs
that can be recorded might be less than 50 depending on the
length of the recorded songs and on the capacity of the SD
card.
For additional details on basic operation, refer to “Registering
a rhythm variation and tempo to the [M1]–[M8] buttons” on
If the display shows an error message such as Crd - bSy
(Card-Busy) or “Err-Crd-***” (Error Card ***) during
playback or recording, please format the card (see page
10 “Formatting (initializing) an SD card”).
The STAGEMAN 80 provides the following functions that are
useful when recording.
• A “metronome function” that lets you sound the
metronome during recording in the time signature and
tempo that you specify.
• A “count start function” that inserts a two-measure count
when you start recording.
• A “mark function” that lets you register a location within a
song, and recall that location when you record.
• A “loop-playback and region-record function” that lets
you loop-playback or record in a region between specified
marks.
These functions are explained in depth in the “Recorder
mode” section.
Metronome function
This lets you sound the metronome during recording in the
time signature and tempo that you specify. In Recorder mode
the metronome volume is fixed, and cannot be controlled by
the RHYTHM/PLAY knob.
Additionally, in Recorder mode only the metronome can be
used.
Other operation is the same as in Rhythm mode.
Tip:
The sound of the metronome is not recorded when you
record while the metronome is playing.
See page 21 “Metronome function”

function (the button lights up).

A two-measure count is sounded, and then recording starts.

If you want to use the count start function when
overdubbing, you must set the tempo to match your song.
