Real Time Recording: Tr1~Tr16
Real Time recording is just like a multi-track recorder
where you record the performance as it is. There are
three types of recording methods, Over Dubbing
(recording over original data but not erasing it),
Replace (erasing and replacing the original data),
Punch In (record for a designated length of measures).
Also there is Multi mode, that when set to “on” (lets
you record on all the tracks simultaneously) and when
set to “off” (lets you recording one track at a time).

Record mode (record stand-by status).

the time signature, tempo, and metronome (Click), in
the SONG screen (see page 194).
If necessary, set the Play Effects for each track in the
PFX screen.

with the Meas parameter.

measure countdown. The [PLAY] green light will
blink in sync with the metronome (Click).
During the two measure countdown, Meas (measure)
will display the countdown from –2 to –1.
When in the Punch In recording, playback will proceed
as usual until the designated beginning measure is
reached, at that measure until the end measure, the data
will be recorded over (the original data is written over
and erased). When the end measure is reached, the
Punch In record function is cancelled, and playback
continues if there is recorded data past that point.

Press [STOP] to stop recording and the EX5/5R/7
automatically returns to Song Play mode.
After you have finished recording, there are various edit
functions that let you correct misplayed notes or the
timing, in the Song Edit mode (page 206) and the Song
Job mode (page 201).
When the power is turned off, the song data is lost.
Please remember that important song data should be
saved to floppy disk or other optional backup device
(page 259).
