DCP-200
Using the Song Recorder
The Song Recorder built into DCP-200 can record two individual tracks, allowing you to record one part and
then record a second complementary part while the first part is played back.
To record a track:
Press the Song button and the Metronome button simultaneously
to enter Record Wait Mode. The Song button’s LED will light, and
the Metronome will begin playing at the currently selected tempo.
The LED display will show:
for one second, after which it
will show:
DCP-200 is now in Record Wait Mode. To start recording,
begin playing the keyboard. Recording starts automatically as
soon as you start playing.
‣
NOTE:
When Record Wait Mode is active, you can also
start recording by pressing the Song button. In that case,
the Song Recorder will record silence until you start
playing the keyboard.
To end recording, press the Song button.
As mentioned at the beginning of this section, you can record to two independent tracks within each
song you record. This means that you can make a recording, and after you’re done, play back what you
recorded while recording a complementary part on a second track. DCP-200 automates some of the
track selections to make work with the Song Recorder more intuitive:
<
When you start recording, if data has already been recorded on track 1, the display will show
, and
the Song Recorder will record on track 2.
<
During recording, any notes already recorded on the other track will be played back. If you are recording
on track 2, anything previously recorded on track 1 will be played back for you to play along to.
<
If tracks 1 and 2 both contain data, DCP-200 will automatically choose to record to the track that was NOT
last recorded to. (If your last recording was on track 1, track 2 will be selected; if your last recording was
on track 2, track 1 will be selected.)
