Recording Your Performance; Track Structure Of A Song; Quick Recording - Yamaha EZ-300 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

You can record up to 5 of your performances as User Songs (User 1–5: Song numbers
203–207). The recorded User Songs can be played back on the instrument. The
recorded User Song can be played back in the same way as the preset Songs.

Track Structure of a Song

You can record your performance to the following two
tracks of a User Song individually or simultaneously.
Track 1:
Your melody performance is recorded to this track.
Track 2:
Your melody performance, or Style playback (Chord
changes and Section changes), is recorded to this
track.
Recording Data Capacity:
A total of approximately 10,000 notes can be
recorded to the five User Songs.

Quick Recording

The operation is convenient for recording a new
Song without having to specify a track.
1
Make the desired settings such as Voice
and Style settings.
If you want to record only the melody perfor-
mance, turn ACMP off (page 45). If you want to
record Style playback or Rhythm playback as well
as melody performance, turn ACMP on (page 45).

Press the [REC] button to enter the
Record Ready mode.
This operation selects the lowest-numbered unre-
corded User Song ("User 1"–"User 5") as the
recording target, if a User Song has not been speci-
fied in advance or if Record Ready mode has been
entered from the Style mode. If you want to select
another Song, use the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons.

NOTICE
• If all User Songs contain recorded data, "User 1 (Song

case, since you will record over and erase any previ-
ous data in "User 1, " we recommend that you save
your important data to a computer (see page 59).
NOTE
• ACMP cannot be turned on or off in this status while you
can select another Style in this status by using the
[STYLE] and Number buttons.
