The powerful and easy-to-use Song Creator feature lets
you record your own keyboard performances to the
user drive, floppy disk, or the optionally installed hard
disk. With multiple channels for recording, comprehen-
sive editing features, plus the use of the style and the
Multi Pads, you can record complex, fully orchestrated
pieces of music in any music style or arrangement –
from solo piano and church organ to rock band, big
band, Latin ensemble, and even a full symphony
orchestra – quickly, easily and all by yourself!
● Quick Recording
With this method, you can quickly and easily record a song, without hav-
ing to make detailed settings.
● Multi Recording
With this method, you can record data to each channel independently,
one by one, until you have a finished multi-channel song. This method
also lets you record several channels simultaneously. To use this, set
which part (Right1 - 3, LEFT, Multi Pad, each part of the selected style,
etc) is assigned to each MIDI channel before recording.
