Using the Memory
3. Press
CHORD/1
to select Track 1.
While the keyboard is in memory
record mode, the level meters for
channels 11 through 16 correspond
to memory tracks 1 through 6. When
all four bars are lit, that channel has
something in memory: if only one
bar is lit, that track is empty.
4. If desired, you can change these
settings:
tone number
rhythm number
tempo
MODE
Note:
Do not change the tempo
unless you already know the desired
tempo. Pressing
START/STOP
to
hear the tempo causes recording to
begin.
5. Press
START/STOP
to start record-
ing.
6. Play the keyboard.
You can also record auto accompa-
niment chords, the drum pad, pitch
bender, and pedal operations.
7. Press
START/STOP
to end record-
ing.
If you make a mistake, press
START/
STOP
to stop recording and begin again
from Step 1, or you can edit the con-
tents. See “Editing Memory Contents”
on Page 33.
Press after you select Track 1 in Step
3 to use the drum pads. That way, you
can also start recording by playing a
drum pad.
This data is stored on Track 1 along with
the notes you played:
tone number
rhythm number
rhythm controller (
INTRO
,
NORMAL/
FILL-IN
, etc.) operations
pitch bender operations
pedal operations
drum pad operations
See “Recording Multiple Tracks” on
Page 31 to record on the other five
tracks.
Notes:
When you record on a track that
contains data, the new recording
replaces the previous recording.
The touch response setting (on/off)
is not recorded. However, the
strength of the strike is recorded.
Channel 1 mixer parameters are
automatically recorded to Track 1.
The memory can store a total of
about 4,900 notes. If the remaining
memory is less than 100 notes, the
measure and beat numbers flash.
When memory becomes full, record-
ing automatically stops (and auto-
accompaniment or rhythm stops
playing, if used).
Memory contents are saved as long
as power is supplied to the key-
board. Unplugging the adapter with-
out batteries or with weak batteries
erases the memory. To prevent data
loss, connect an adapter before
replacing the batteries.
