The conventional recording process using the sequencer can be
activated immediately; in this case all tracks are recorded one
after the other. Below we will mention several specifications to
be taken into consideration when recording with automatic
accompaniment, but first we will discuss the "spontaneous"
recording method.
After the Z1000 is turned on, the sequencer can be used
immediately, for example for quick recording of a musical idea.
For the current sound settings the first three tracks are activated
(Record F1) for Right 1, Right 2, and Left, as soon as the
recording function is selected. The recording mode itself works
with a synchronized start: the recording begins as soon as you
play the first note on the keyboard. In this case you start the
recording directly, i.e. without using a countdown.
1. Automatic recording start
Press the Sequencer button followed by the Record button and
begin to play.
2. Manual recording start
The synchronized recording start may be unsuitable for songs
that begin with an upbeat. In addition, sequencer recordings
using the countdown function to gain an orientation of the
recording tempo can quickly become a habit. If you therefore
prefer to start the recording without synchronization, press the
Play button (F3) to start the recording and begin playing the
notes of the melody voice at a later count. (Of course, the
Record function must be activated!) Press F 2 to stop the
recording.
