Start Recording
The Sequencer
Recording will start as soon as the [START/RE-START] button is pressed or,
if you also press the [SYNCHRO START] button, as soon as any key on the key-
board is pressed.
If the ACCOMP. track is selected and you start recording by pressing the
[START/RE-START] button, only the rhythm will play until the first chord
(FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER) is played on the left-hand section of the key-
board.
If you start recording in the SYNCHRO START mode by playing on the right-
hand section of the keyboard, a metronome will sound in place of the rhythm and
AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment until a key is played on the left-hand
section of the keyboard.
Before starting recording you can also choose an introduction by pressing any of the
[INTRO.] buttons.
The restart function can not be used while the sequencer mode is engaged.
Previously recorded fill-ins may not always be erased if that section is re-recorded or
deleted.
Play
Play the accompaniment and/or orchestra parts. The current measure number is
shown on the TEMPO display as you record.
Stop Recording
Press the [STOP] button to stop recording immediately, or the [ENDING/rit.]
button to finish off the recording with an appropriate ending. The first measure of
the sequence is automatically selected when recording is stopped.
Record a New Track To record a new track, simply select a new voice and other parameters as re-
quired, select a new track as described in step 4, then record. All previously re-
corded tracks will automatically be set to the PLAY mode so you can record the
new material while listening to the material you’ve already recorded. Repeat this
procedure until your sequence is complete.
Up to approximately 7,000 notes can be recorded for all six sequencer songs. The
exact number of notes that can be recorded, however, will depend on the type of data
you record.
Deleting Tracks
If you make a mistake while recording or simply want to delete a track from
your sequence, press the track button corresponding to the track you want to
delete while holding the [DELETE] button.
Tracks cannot be deleted during recording or playback,
