This instrument's SEQUENCER allows you to record up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record your entire performance in one go (especially it you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the accompaniment), fr to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like an orchestral score. This instrument's SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16 different parts. However, you don’t have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. This instrument's SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing Poereurr ig errors. SEQUENCER features @ You can change the tempo without chang- ing the pitch When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play it back ata faster tempo, the pitch stays the same. = Consistent sound Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back your per- formance. = Edit your recorded performance Comprehensive editing functions allow you to modify your recorded performance. Data can easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing an especially convenient tool for creating your original tunes. m Instant search A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital action means you can return to the beginning of your performance, or find any measure, instantly. @ Save your performances on disks All the data of your recorded performances can be stored on disks. The built-in Disk Drive also allows you to play commercially sold disks on your own Keyboard, * Features and operation of the built-in Disk Drive are explained in Part VI: Disk Drive (page 118). 72 aaraoe1s Popular features & Simplified recording method EASY RECORD is a feature that allows you to bypass the more complex recording procedures so you can record and play back your perform- ance quickly and easily. * You can also record an accompaniment from the AUTO PLAY CHORD. = Create a one-man ensemble Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record your performance in up to 16 tracks and create your own orchestra or band. @ Store individual data to create your song For repeating patterns or those especially com- plicated phrases, the STEP RECORD feature is convenient for recording the notes one-by-one. © This method can be used to store both the chord progression for the automatic accom- paniment and the rhythm changes.
