Recording Your Performance
You can record up to 10 of your performances to the instrument as User Songs. The
recorded User Songs can be played back in the same way as the preset Songs.
A Song can be recorded to the six tracks. You can
record without specifying tracks, but you can also
record each track one by one (e.g., only the right-
hand part or the left-hand part) to create a complete
piece which may be difficult to play at once.
Melody Tracks [1/RIGHT]–[5]
The melody performance will be recorded.
Accompaniment Track [A]
The chord progression (for the Style) or the key
change (for the Pattern) will be recorded.
This section explains how to record without specify-
ing a track. This is useful when you record a new
Song from scratch.
1
Make the desired settings including the
Main Voice selection.
2
Make the desired settings of your perfor-
mance.
• If you want to record only the melody performance, press
the [SONG] button.
• If you want to record the performance using a Style, press
the [STYLE] button.
• If you want to record the performance using a Pattern,
press the [PATTERN] button.
3
Press the [REC] button to enter the
Record Ready mode.
This operation selects the lowest-numbered unre-
corded User Song from 031–040 (User 1–10) as
the recording target.
Track 1 will be selected as recording target of the
melody, and the Track A will be selected as
recording target of the accompaniment part (the
chord progression for the Style or the key change
for the Pattern) automatically. If a User Song was
selected beforehand, recording data will overwrite
Tracks 1 and A of the selected Song.
To exit from this status, press the [REC] button
again.

Start recording.
• When you press the [SONG] button in step 2, play any note
to start recording.
• When you select a Style in step 2, play a chord in the Auto
Accompaniment area to start recording with Style play-
back, or press the [START/STOP] button to start recording
only with playback of the Rhythm part of a Style.
• When you select a Pattern in step 2, play a key in the
Accompaniment area or press the [START/STOP] button to
start recording with Pattern playback.
The current measure will be shown on the display
while recording.

Press the [
] (Start/Stop) or [REC] but-
ton to stop recording.
When using a Style, you can stop recording also
by pressing the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button, and
then waiting until playback ends.
• This instrument records your performance and save it in an original format. If you want MIDI data, convert it to SMF by saving it to the
connected USB flash drive (page 65).
