Recording with the rhythm sound
If you record while the rhythm sound is on, recording will
start from the beginning of the measure the instant you
press the pedal to initiate recording.
By using the “Count-in recording” function (p. 11), you can
start recording after the rhythm sound has played back for
one measure.
Regardless of the timing at which you press the
pedal to end recording, the length of the phrase will
automatically be adjusted to units of one measure.
Recording without the rhythm sound
If you record while the rhythm sound is o , the tempo of
the phrase will be automatically speci ed after recording
has ended.
The automatic tempo setting is calculated by assuming that
you have recorded “1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... measures in the speci ed
time signature (p. 13).”
