@ Multi-Track Recording
Song Memory gives you six tracks for recording, which means that once you record a basic track,
you can add up to five more tracks while listening to what you have already recorded. Then when you
play
back
the
tracks,
all
of
the
parts
you
have
recorded
are
played
back
as
a
single
song.

How tracks are organized
«
As
shown
in
the
above
illustration,
track
1
is
the
basic
track
that
contains
the
melody
you
play
on
the
keyboard,
as
well
as
auto-accompaniment
patterns
and
pad
operations.
With
the
other
tracks,
you
can
record
parts
you
play
on
the
keyboard
only.
*
Each
track
is
independent
of
the
others.
This
means
that
if
you
record
over
a
track,
only
that
track’s
contents
are
replaced
with
the
new
recording.
If
you
make
a
mistake
while
recording
a
track,
you
need
only
to
re-record
that
track.
* You can use different Mixer settings for each track (page E-60).

Ways to use multi-track recording
* If you have problems playing chords and melody at the same time, record the auto- accompani-
ment in Track 1, and then add the melody with another track. This frees both hands for melody play
and pitch bender operations.
* You can record your own bass and chord patterns in Tracks 2 through 6 and then use them in
place of the keyboard's built-in patterns. To do this, cancel the bass and chord parts of the auto-
accompaniment and play back the tracks.
Important!
Remember that the total number of notes that can be played at the same time (polyphony) is 32. If
your multi-track recording causes more than 32 notes to be played at the same time, the earliest
notes sounded will be eliminated.
To perform a multi-track recording
1. First, set up the keyboard to play the tune you want to play.
