Recording Phrases
....................................................................................................................................................................
Using the Pads
Z
Select a PHRASE Pad For Recording
Press the PHRASE pad you intend to record to while holding
the [REC/STOP] button. The REC/STOP indicator will flash,
indicating that the selected pad is ready to record.
X
Play a Phrase
Recording begins automatically as soon as you play on the
keyboard using the ORCHESTRA 1 voice (i.e. the right-hand
section of the keyboard if the split play mode or AUTO BASS
CHORD accompaniment is engaged), and the REC/STOP indica-
tor will light continuously as long as recording continues.
NOTES
• You can record phrases while AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment
is playing or stopped. In either case the phrase will be recorded in
relation to the currently set accompaniment tempo, so it is a good idea
to record phrases while monitoring the accompaniment to ensure that
they are reproduced at an appropriate tempo when played back with
accompaniment.
C
Stop Recording
Press the [REC/STOP] button to stop recording when you’ve
finished playing the phrase. The [REC/STOP] button indicator
will go out when recording ends.
NOTES
• Recording will stop automatically if the PHRASE pad memory be-
comes full (approximately 160 notes per pad), or if another pad is
pressed.
■
Phrase Playback
...........................................................................................................................................................................
As long as the MULTI mode is selected, any recorded phrase
can be played back simply by pressing the corresponding PHRASE
pad. The phrase will play back whether the accompaniment is
playing or not, but will always play at the currently set tempo. The
MULTI PLAYING indicator will light while the phrase plays
back, and playback will end automatically as soon as the end of
the phrase is reached. A phrase can be stopped while it is playing
by pressing either the [REC/STOP] button or the corresponding
pad button. It is also possible to play back several phrases at the
same time.
NOTES
• Although the note data played by the phrase pads can not be recorded
by the PSR-6000 sequencer (page 49), the phrase pad events (i.e.
the fact that a pad has been pressed) can be recorded. Phrase pad
data can be saved to and loaded from disk (page 96), but can not be
memorized by the Panel Registration feature (page 41).
• Use the MASTER VOLUME control to adjust the playback volume of
the phrase pads.
