The ETr1-ETr8 tracks are the Extra Tracks 1-8, used to
add freely recorded parts (non-automatic). See
“Recording a track at a time in real time” on page 85.
To record the Extra Tracks, the MIDI controller must
transmit over the channel of the Extra Tracks. The
Extra Tracks usually are not connected to the MIDI
and a MIDI channel must be assigned to them (see
“Page 9: Extra Track settings (1)” on page 101).
Track status
[– – – –, REC, (KBTr/CTRL/CHRD), MUTE]
These settings will appear if you select track ATr. They
determine the status of the keyboard, control and
chord tracks.
Hyphens (– – – –) An empty track. It will only possible
to select REC.
REC The track is recording. The data
already contained in the track will be
deleted.
MUTE The track will be mute.
KBTr, CTRL, CHRD Play status of the keyboard, control
and chord tracks, respectively.
Recording mode
[OVWR, OVDB, AUTP, MANP]
This parameter will appear when you select an Extra
Track (ETr1–8). It indicates how the extra track you
have selected will be recorded.
OVWR (Overwrite). Data previously
recorded onto the track will be
erased.
OVDB (Overdub). New data will be added
to data previously recorded onto the
track.
AUTP (Auto Punch). This option allows you
to demarcate the area, between a
start measure and an end measure,
where you wish to record. When this
option is selected, the “First measure”
(first autopunch measure) and “Last
measure” (last autopunch measure)
parameters appear. Recording
occurs in overwrite mode.
MANP (Manual Punch). This option allows
you to manually specify the area
where you wish to record.
How to carry out Manual
Punch. Playback the song. When
you get to the beginning of the area
where you wish to record, press
REC/WRITE/LYRICS. Press REC/
WRITE/LYRICS again when you get
to the area you wanted to record.
Instead of pressing the REC/WRITE/
LYRICS button, you can use a pedal
which has been especially set for the
PUNCH IN/OUT function. see “Page
12: Assignable pedal/switch” on
page 143 or “Page 13: EC5 external
controller” on page 145.
Q (Recording quantize)
[HI, … ]
Quantization is the correction of timing imprecisions.
The notes are moved during recording, so that the tim-
ing of the song is more regular, without any notes off
time.
Since the continuous controllers (like pitch bend) are
quantized, if you use these controls heavily, it would
be better to record with the HI option set, and use the
quantize function later on (see “6-3. Quantize” on
page 96).
HI No quantize; the notes will be
recorded exactly as they were per-
formed (with a precision of 1/96th
of a quarter note).
Other options All the notes are brought to ideal
intervals, determined by the value
you have selected. For example, if
you have selected the option , the
beginning of all the notes you play
will be moved to the nearest quarter
note.
M (Metronome)
[OFF, ON, REC]
Metronome options.
OFF The metronome will only sound dur-
ing the pre-count, before recording.
ON The metronome will sound during
recording and playback.
REC The metronome will only sound dur-
ing recording.
