Recording Your Performance

You can record your keyboard performance as a User Song in SMF format. Up to two Parts (L and R) can be
recorded separately.
NOTICE
• Note that the Recording operation replaces already
recorded data with the newly recorded data, since only
one User Song is available. Before recording, check
whether the [PLAY] lamp is lit or not. If the [PLAY] lamp is
lit, already recorded data exists and you may want to save
it. To save the recorded data, transfer it to a computer as an
SMF . For details, refer to "Computer-related Operations. "
NOTE
• You can record up to 100 KB (or approximately 11,000 notes) on this instru-
ment.

Quick Recording

1
Before recording, make the settings
such as Voice and Beat.
Because some of the settings cannot be changed
after the Record mode is engaged, make the set-
tings according to your performance preferences.
For example, if you want to record your perfor-
mance with a Pianist Style, turn on [PIANIST
STYLE].
2
Press the [REC] to engage Record
Ready mode.
The [REC] lamp will flash according to the cur-
rent tempo. If necessary, set the tempo (page 18).
NOTE
• You cannot engage Record mode while a song is playing.
• You can use the Metronome/Rhythm while recording; however, the Met-
ronome/Rhythm sound will not be recorded. When recording one of the
Pianist Styles along with your performance, the Metronome/Rhythm can
neither be heard nor recorded.
3
Play the keyboard or press [PLAY] to

start recording.

The [REC] lamp lights up while the [PLAY] lamp
flashes at the current tempo.
Play the keyboard and record your performance.
