26 Recorder
Recorder
The Recorder records and plays back your musical performances, like a tape
recorder, but with several advantages:
■
You can change the tempo without affecting the pitch. This lets you record
difficult passages slowly, for example, and play them back at the desired
speed.
■ You can record using one sound and later replace it with another.
Song
Use the two Song buttons to select a song for recording or playback (only one can
be selected at a time). Each song can be as long as 10,000 notes.
Track
Each song consists of up to two tracks, which can be selected or silenced using
the two Track buttons. Once a track has been recorded on, the track button
illuminates to show that it contains data.
Mute / Unmute tracks
When a song is recording, playing, or stopped, use the Track buttons to turn
playback of individual tracks off (unlit) or on (lit).
Select the recording track
When you press the Record button to record a track, the next empty track is
automatically selected for you. But, you can press a Track button to determine
which track you wish to record. This lets you record over a previous track, for
example. The track that is being recorded has a blinking button. That track cannot
be turned off during recording. When a track is recorded, the sound that was used
during recording is remembered with the track.
Record
Pressing the
Record
button while a song is stopped will put the song in record-
ready mode and the Record button blinks. Select the track on which to record as
described in the discussion of the Track buttons. Press the Record button again to
cancel recording.
Once you start recording by pressing the
Play/Stop
button or using ‘Key Start’ or
‘Pedal Start’ (described below) the Record button stays lit continuously. Press the
Play/Stop button to stop recording.
If the memory becomes full during recording. “ Ful” will appear on the display
and recording will automatically stop. (All Recorded data up to that point will
be saved.)
