an audio le that’s playing.

The recorded data is saved on an SD card inserted in the
SD card slot. In order to record, insert the SD card into the
SD card slot before you turn on the power (see page 7
“Inserting or removing an SD card”).
1. Connect the mic or instrument that you want to record,
and adjust the volume accordingly.
See page 10 “Connecting and playing instruments”
2. Use the [M1]–[M8], [(1) 8 BEAT1]–[(24) SAMBA] buons
or the [F1] and [F2] buons to select an audio le.
3. Put the KR-55 Pro in the record-standby state, and select
the song number that you want to record.
Press the [  ] buon to put the KR-55 Pro in the record-
standby state, and then use the [F1] or [F2] buon to select
the song number that you want to record.
The display indicates the song number (d01, d02...). The
number of a new song blinks, and the number of an
already-recorded song is lit.
Tip: If there is a new song, the lowest-numbered new
song is selected automatically.
If you select a previously-recorded song number
(whose song number is lit) and then start recording, the
previously recorded data is lost and overwrien by the
newly recorded data.
• Adjust the playback of the audio le and the mic or
instrument recording level.
Set the volume of the audio le by turning the RHYTHM/
PLAY knob to the 3 o’clock position. Use the MIC knob
and the (INPUT) 1 and 2 knobs to adjust the volume level
of your mic or instrument accordingly.
Note: Adjust the level so that the top LED of the three
LEDs in the left side of the display ickers occasionally.
Note: Note: To check the recording level of the audio
le, press the [ ] buon to put the KR-55 Pro in the
recording state. When you’ve nished adjusting the level,
press the [ ] buon to stop; then re-select the song in
the record-standby state.
Note: The VOLUME knob does not aect the recording
level. If acoustic feedback occurs, use this knob to lower
the overall volume.
4. Press the [ ] buon to start recording.
The LEDs above the [  ] buon and [ ] buon are
lit.
5. Play your instrument along with the playback of the
audio le.
6. When you’ve nished performing, press the [ ]
buon to stop recording.
You can listen to the recorded song in Recorder mode (see
page 13 “Playing back the recorded performance”).
Tip: You can import data that can be used in Recorder mode,
and then use Recorder mode to overdub onto that data. (see
page 14 “Overdubbing onto a recorded song”)
Note: When recording in Player mode, you can’t start
recording from a specic point of the playback, nor can you
record just a specic region. You can only record from the
beginning of the audio le. If you want to record from mid-
way through the playback, or only in a specic region, you’ll
need to use the import function.
