RECORDING & PLAYBACK

When you make a recording, you are storing two basic types of information on the memory stick: the notes
(keys) being played and the buttons and tabs being turned on and off during the recording.

RECORDING A SONG ON THE MEMORY STICK

Insert the

MEMORY STICK

into the

USB DATA PORT

a. Open the

USB PORT DRAWER

b. Swing open the protective metal covering on the Lowrey-supplied memory stick, exposing the

receptacle end of the memory stick.

c. Insert the memory stick, label side facing up, into the

USB DATA PORT

d. Wait a few seconds for the memory stick to fully connect to the Sterling.
e. Close the

USB DATA PORT DRAWER

Set the Sterling up with the sounds and features you wish to play. Use the Presets or make your own.

Press the

RECORD

button. The button will light up yellow and then flash red.

The

REGISTRATION, BASS, LOWER

, and

UPPER

buttons will flash red, as well. A metronome

will begin keeping the beat.

Begin playing your song. Recording begins when you play the first note or press any button or tab.

Press the

STOP

button when you are finished playing.

Press the

PLAY/PAUSE

button to listen to your recording.

After you have made the recording and pressed the

STOP

button, you may set the

MUSIC RECORDER

up to

make another recording by simply pressing the

RESET

button. Start with step #2 above and record your next

song. The Sterling will automatically select the next empty spot on the memory stick so you won’t
accidentally erase songs previously recorded.

The ten buttons in the

MUSIC RECORDER

are subdivided into two sections:

RECORDING TRACK

buttons and

CONTROL

buttons.

RECORDING TRACKS

The top four buttons are the recording track buttons.

REGISTRATION, BASS, LOWER,

and

UPPER

When in use, these four buttons display one of three colors: Red, Green or Yellow. Each color indicates a
different condition.

This button (track) records the
notes being played on the Upper
Keyboard.

Note:

DO NOT use the

LOCK

features if you wish to playback a pre-recorded memory stick, and hear

it as it was originally recorded. Lock settings are not recorded by the

MUSIC RECORDER

When you create a sound set up and you are using any of the

LOCK

features, and you wish to record

with that set up, save the set up in a

BANK PRESET

, turn off the

LOCK(S)

and then record your song

using those

BANK PRESETS
