@ Recording to Song Memory
This section describes how to make an initial recording to Song Memory as you play on the
keyboard. Use this operation to make a base recording, to which you can later add other tracks (page
E-58).
important!
« Any time you store something into Song Memory, anything that was previously there is automati-
cally deleted and replaced with the new recording.
* Song Memory contents are retained in memory as long as power is supplied from batteries or an
AC outlet. If power is cut off (by dead batteries and unplugging from an AC outlet), everything
stored in Song Memory will be deleted.
lf the POWER indicator goes out while recording is in progress, anything recorded up to that point
is deleted.
Song Memory capacity
Song Memory can hold up to two songs, with a total of approximately 5,200 notes. You can record
one song with 5,200 notes, or two songs with a total of up to 5,200 notes. Whenever the Song
Memory has less than 100 notes of capacity remaining while you are recording, the SONG MEMORY
indicator starts to flash quickly. If you are using auto-accompaniment, it stops when memory
becomes full.
To record a base track (Track 1) to Song Memory
1. First, set up the keyboard to play the tune you want to record.

displayed. If a Magical Preset number is displayed, press MAGICAL PRESET to switch the
Magical Preset function off.

five seconds.
¢ Prior to storage of registration data, ail 16 buttons of the Mixer are assigned the tone “O00 PIANO”
(except for the CH10=RHYTHM button). Because of this, all four auto-accompaniment parts are
set to piano if registration memory contents are recalled without first storing any settings.
M@ Assignable jack
As the name suggests, this is an assignable jack to which you
can assign a function. Specifically, you can assign pedal func-
tions for an optionally available foot pedal (SP-2 or SP-10).
The following are the functions that can be assigned to the
assignable jack.
e With piano and other attenuating tones, the pedal
works like a piano’s damper pedal to cause notes to
Sustain linger.
With organ and other sustaining tones, pressing the
pedal causes the played note to be held.
This function works similarly to Sustain, but the timing
of the effect is different from that used for Sustain. If
Sostenuto the pedal is pressed after a note is played (and the
keyboard key is still depressed), only that note is sus-
tained.
Softens notes played on the keyboard
Rhythm This function assigns the function of the START/STOP
StarV/Stop button to the pedal.
