ACNOBDYESRecording Your PerformanceThis chapter explains how to record your performance using the PF-500recording function.You can, for example, play back what you have played on the PF-500 keyboardfor an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, thenpractice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part.Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the leftandright-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performanceor ensemble song one by one to build a song.TIPYou can record your performance(audio data) to a cassettetape recorder or otherrecording devices via theAUX OUT connector. (seepage 52.)TERMINOLOGY Recording vs. Saving:The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the PF-500. A cassettetape records audio signals. On the other hand, the PF-500 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and atempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the PF-500 produces sound based on thesaved information. Therefore, recording on the PF-500 may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, thisbook often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.Refer to the “Message List” on page 86 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, andtroubleshooting information.Recording a New SongRecording to [TRACK 1]1 32TRACK1TRACK2EXTRATRACKSFILEMETRONOMESTART/STOP SETTINGCONTRASTGRAND GRAND E.PIANO E.PIANO HARPSI- E.CLAVI- VIBRA-PIANO 1 PIANO 2 12 CHORD CHORD PHONEVOICEGUITAR SETTING SPLITREVERBCHORUSMIDISETTINGSONGKEYBOARDSONG SELECTTOPSTART/STOPRECSONGSETTINGDOWNUPCHURCH JAZZORGAN ORGAN STRINGS CHOIRSYNTH.PADWOODBASSE.BASSXGVARIATIONBRILLIANCEMELLOW BRIGHTOTHERSETTINGEXITMINMAXNEW SONGSYNCHRO STARTMASTER VOLUMESONG BALANCEDEMOSONGTEMPOVOICEEFFECT44 5Procedure1.
