USING THE MEMORY
The MD-1600 lets you record up to two
separate songs in memory for later play-
back. You can use either of two meth-
ods to record a song —
real-time
recording
(you record as you play) or
step recording
(you enter notes and
chords one-by-one).
You can record on each of the MD-
1600’s six tracks separately. Besides
notes, each track can have its own tone
number. Then, when you play back the
tracks together, it sounds like an entire
six-piece band. Also, you can use differ-
ent mixer settings for each track.
Track 1 is the main track, and you can
use it to record auto accompaniment
and drum pad sounds, as well as key-
board play. Tracks 2 through 6 are mel-
ody tracks, and you can use these for
recording a secondary melody that in-
cludes keyboard play and the drum pad.
Because each track is independent of
the others, you only need to re-record a
single track if you make a mistake while
recording on it.
REAL-TIME RECORDING
With real-time recording, the notes are
recorded as you play them on the key-
board. Before you start, read these tips.
• To record without an auto-rhythm,
skip Step 5 of “Real-Time Record-
ing.” Recording starts when you
press a key.
• To start recording with synchro start,
press
SYNCHRO/ENDING
instead of
START/STOP
in Step 5 of “Real-Time
Recording.” Recording starts when
you play a note or a chord on the
accompaniment keys.
• To record using an intro, ending, or
fill-in, use
INTRO
,
SYNCHRO/END-
ING
,
NORMAL/FILL-IN
, or
VAR/FILL-
IN
as you normally would.
• To synchro start auto accompani-
ment with an intro pattern, press
SYNCHRO/ENDING
and then
INTRO
instead of
START/STOP
in Step 5 of
“Real-Time Recording.” Recording
starts with the intro pattern when
you play a note or a chord on the
accompaniment keys.
