Realtime Recording
In the Realtime record mode you select the track you want
to record, then play the part on the keyboard in real time.
To use Realtime Recording: .................................................
1.
Select a Song for recording.
A series of asterisks (“
”) at the Song
name indicates the selected Song is empty (has no
recorded data).
2. Set the desired Tempo and Time Signature for the
Song.
NOTE: The time signature cannot be changed if the song
already contains data.
3. Select a track for recording.
4. Select a Voice for the current track.
6.
Select Realtime Recording by pressing
^
(Real).
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8
Press ^ for
Realtime Recording.
7.
Press
R
to begin recording.
The metronome will sound (if set properly; see page
192), and you’ll be given a two-measure lead-in prior to
the first measure actually recorded. The lead-in is also
indicated by negative numbers in the Measure parameter
(at the top, next to Tempo/Time Signature). If the time
signature is 4/4, for example, the lead-in will run from
measure -08 to -01, then recording will begin from
measure 001.
8.
To stop recording, press
T
.
Normal Song playback (standby) is automatically re-
selected when you stop recording, and you’ll automati-
cally be returned to the top (first measure) of the song.
NOTE: If for some reason all 10 songs contain data and
you want to start recording with an empty song, use the
Clear Song Job described on page 22 to clear a song for
recording. If you want to save the existing song data to
floppy disk before clearing, see Disk Operations on page
135.
IMPORTANT: Realtime recording is “replace” recording,
meaning that any previous data in a track will be erased
and replaced when new data is recorded to that track.
This is in contrast to “overdub” recording, in which new
data is recorded over the existing data and the existing
data remains intact. Step recording, on the other hand,
allows new material to be added to a track without erasing
the previous data. You can also use the Mix Track Job
(see page 16) to mix data from two tracks and place the
result on a single track.
