Erasing A Track
To erase a track on which something is recorded, you simply record "nothing" over it; that is,
you select the track for recording, start and stop the Recorder, but don't play any notes or touch
any controllers while recording. This erases the entire track.
Changing Sound on a Track
After a song is recorded with one sound on a track, you can replace it with another. This gives
a chance to listen to your playing with different instruments. Select a song with recorded data,
and press the Record button to enter record-ready mode. Then, a track button blinks with the
Record button. If it’s not the Track button which has the sound you want to replace with new
sound, press the other
Track
button. Now it’s ready to change the sound on a track. Press the
button in the Sound Select portion to choose the sound you want, and press the Record button
again to exit record-ready mode. Be cautious not to press the Play/Stop button, which erases
the recorded data. Press the Play/Stop button to listen to the song played with the new sound.
Changing Tempo on a Song
You can change tempo to play the song that you recorded faster or slower without affecting
the pitch. Select a song with recorded data, and press the Record button to enter record-ready
moode. Now, change tempo by pressing the Up/Down button (or tapping the Tap/Tempo
button). Then, press the Record button again to exit record-ready mode. Be cautious not to
press the Play/Stop button, which erases the recorded data. Press the Play/Stop button to listen
to the song played with different tempo.
Play/Stop
Press the
Play/Stop
button to start playback or recording, or to stop it.
If you press the Play/Stop button when the Recorder is in Record mode, then recording begins
on the specified track (the one with the blinking button), while the other active track plays
back (if its button is lit).
Pressing the
Play/Stop
button again while recording or playback is going on will stop the
recording or playback.
Start Control
When a song is in record-ready mode for recording, you can start recording by striking any
key on the keyboard (Key Start) or pressing the left pedal (Pedal Start). This is a very
convenient way to start recording. Especially, 'Key start' can help avoid the case where it's
difficult to synchronize the first recorded note with the first beat when one starts recording by
pressing the Play/Stop button.
