Basic Operation
Recording in Dual or Split mode
When you record in Dual or Split mode, the P-250
records each voice onto a separate track. The follow-
ing table shows how tracks are assigned to each
voice.
In the following example, Tracks 1, 2, and EXTRA
TRACK “n” have been selected for recording.
The variable “n” represents a track number from 3
through 16.
If “n+1,” “n+2,” and “n+3” exceed 16, TRACKs 1, 2,
and 3 are used.
