Roland HP 1700L - 3 Using the Recorder Function; Recording Your Performance

I5 Using the Recorder Function
The built-in recorder function lets you record and playback a performance. During playback, you can play along if
desired. This is convenient for playing duets by yourself, or for practicing. Unlike a tape recorder, the built-in recorder
records not the actual sound, but rather the notes you play. It is therefore possible to select a different tone during
playback of your recorded performance. To guard against accidents, the recorded notes will be stored for approximately
8 hours after the power is turned off.
Although the recorded notes will be stored for a time after the power is turned off, they
will eventually disappear. If you wish to preserve your performance, you will need to con-
nect an external sequencer and store your music on a sequencer disk. Using a sequencer
O will allow you to record pieces longer than would fit into the built-in recorder memory,
and offers other advantages as well. For details refer to ,
