Adding parts to a song
In this example, we shall add a counterpoint melody
to the song, recording it onto track 7 (Tr07).
1 If you are not already at page 2 (Play), press
EXIT/NO, or hold down SONG EDIT and press
ARRANGEMENT NUMBER [2].
(This is a shortcut to get directly to a page – see
page 18).
2 Press REC/WRITE/LYRICS.
3 Move the cursor to “Tr01” using the CURSOR
buttons.
4 Press TEMPO/VALUE [UP/+] repeatedly to select
“Tr07”.
5 Program the MIDI controller to transmit over the
channel of the track you wish to record.
The tracks need to receive channeled information
and not over the special Global channel. Each track
of the song usually corresponds to a MIDI channel
with the same number as the track. For example,
track 1 usually corresponds to channel 1, track 2 to
channel 2 and son on.
6 Press PROGRAM/ARRANG to light up the PRO-
GRAM led, then press BANK [A], and finally
NUMBER [7] and [1].
This will assign the “A71 Strings” program to track
7 (Tr07).
7 Press START/STOP to start recording. Play the
new part.
After a two-measure precount, recording will
begin.
8 When finished press START/STOP to stop the
recording.
If you have made any mistakes, press RESET and
begin recording again, following the instructions
from step 2 to step 7.
9 Press START/STOP to listen to the song.
