PERFORMANCES

The Prestige 50 is equipped with a multitrack sequencer used to record, save to floppy disk and

playback musical performances. The following are the basic directions for using these functions; a

detailed description of all the sequencer functions is given in the “Advanced Manual”.

5.1 RECORDING A PERFORMANCE

To start a recording session, simply press the [RECORD] button after inserting a floppy disk in the

drive. The system will read the disk and show it on the display:

WARNING!

To make sure that existing recordings are not lost, when entering the name of the song take
care not to enter a name already on the disk. In this case, the original file will be overwritten.
