IMPORTANT NOTES Power Supply

Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

Placement Using the unit near power amplifiers (or

other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers.

Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.

Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Care of the Keyboard Do not write on the keyboard with any pen

or other implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface lines and become unremovable.

Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.

To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.

Realtime recording (Realtime REC)

Create a pattern by recording your keyboard performance and controller operations just as you perform them.

Step recording (Step Rec)

Create a pattern by successively recording your keyboard performance one step at a time.

TR-REC This method lets you place notes of each instrument on the steps at which you want them to be heard. This method is suitable for creating drum patterns.

Before you record, its a good idea to delete the existing pattern as follows.

1. Select a scene.

NOTE If you create a pattern, and then switch to another scene or turn off the power without saving the scene, the data you created will be lost.

2. Press the [PATTERN] button. The PATTERN screen appears.

3. Touch . The PATTERN UTILITY screen appears.

4. Touch . The DELETE MENU screen appears.

5. Touch . A confirmation message appears. To cancel, touch .

6. To execute, touch . All patterns are deleted.

NOTE Deleted patterns cannot be recovered.

Realtime Recording (Realtime REC) 1. Press the [7REC] button.

The REC STANDBY screen appears.

2. Make settings for recording. Directly touch parameters in the screen to select them, or use the [VALUE] dial to edit the value.

TRACK/PATTERN Recording Parameter

Recording Parameter Explanation

Count In Adds a count-in when recording starts. Specify this before you start recording (while stopped).

Time Signature Specifies the time signature. This can be specified when all patterns are empty.

Input Quantize Specifies the quantization that is applied during recording.

RHY SYNC Specifies whether the currently selected rhythm pattern automatically plays back and is recorded when you start recording (ON) or is not recorded (OFF).

LOOP REC SW

ON: Continue recording even after youve recorded the measures specified by the Length setting. OFF: Transition from recording to playback when youve recorded the measures specified by the Length setting.

REC EVENT Selects the performance data that will be recorded during realtime recording.

CLICK Turns the click (metronome) on/off.

Tempo Specifies the tempo.

Length Specifies the length of the pattern.

NEW/MIX Specifies whether to make a new recording or to overdub- record.

Since touching will take you to the PATTERN screen, use this screen to select the track (116) and pattern (AH) that will be recorded. When you change the recording-destination track, the zone played by the track moves in tandem.

(Example) Track 2: Zone 2 (Bass)0Track 10: Zone 10 (Drum)

After selecting a track and pattern in the PATTERN screen, press the [REC] button once again.

3. Press the [APLAY] button to start recording. You can also start recording by touching .

4. Play the keyboard. Knob and controller operations are also recorded.

5. Press the [9STOP] button to stop recording. When youve finished recording, you can repeat steps 15 as necessary to record pattern variations on the same track or to record another track.

If youre creating groups or a song as described in the next section, its a good idea to divide the recording into several tracks and create several patterns so that you can distinguish them.
