Recording Your Performance
This function enables you to record your performance as a "User Song." Only one User Song is available.
Follow the steps below to record and play back your performance.
Recording Your Performance
NOTICE
Be careful not to erase the
recorded data.
After you record a
performance, the [PLAY]
button indicator lights up.
When this indicator remains
on, recording another
performance will erase the
recorded data.
You cannot engage Record
mode while a demo song is
playing.
The User song data is not
transmitted via MIDI.
Recording capacity
“Recording capacity” is the
maximum amount of
performance data that you
can record. This instrument’s
recording capacity is 65 KB
(approximately 11,000 notes).
NOTICE
After the recording is stopped
in step 4, it may take a short
time to store the recorded
data, during which the [REC]
and [PLAY] lamps are
flashing. In this situation,
never turn off the power.
Otherwise, all recorded data
will be lost.
If the metronome was on when
you started recording, you’ll
be able to keep time with the
metronome while recording,
but the metronome sound will
not be recorded.
You can save the recorded
user song to a computer. You
can also load the user song
data from a computer and
play it back on this instrument.
(See page 26.)
