3. In “M (Loop Start Measure), “M (Loop End
Measure)” specify the area that you wish to record.
For example if you specify M004–M008, recording will
occur repeatedly (as a loop) from measure 4 to measure 8.
4. In “Location,” specify a location several measures
earlier than the point at which you wish to begin
recording.
5. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch, and
then press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Playback will begin. When you reach the starting location
you specified in step 3, recording will begin. Play the
keyboard and operate controllers such as the joystick to
record your performance.
When you reach the ending location you specified in step
3, you will return to the starting location, and continue
recording.
The musical data that is loop-recorded will be added to
the previously-recorded data.
6. You can also erase specific data even while you
continue loop recording.
If you press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch
during loop recording, all musical will be removed from
the currently selected track as long as you continue
pressing the switch.
By checking the “Remove Data” check box you can erase
only the specified data. During loop recording, press the
note that you wish to delete, and only the data of that note
number will be deleted from the keyboard as long as you
continue pressing that note.
Similarly, bender data will be deleted as long as you tilt
the joystick in the X (horizontal) direction, and after
touch data will be deleted as long as you apply pressure
to the keyboard.
In the same way, bend data is removed while you hold the
joystick tilted in the X (horizontal) direction, and
aftertouch data is removed while you press down on the
keyboard.(excepting the KRONOS2-88LS)
When you are once again ready to record musical data,
uncheck the “Remove Data” check box.
7. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Playback will end, and you will return to the recording
start location that you specified in step 4.
If Loop All Tracks is selected, normal playback will be
looped as well.
Multi (multitrack recording)
Multitrack recording allows you to simultaneously record
onto multiple tracks, each with a different channel.
1. In the upper right of the LCD screen, check “Multi
REC.”
2. Make the desired Recording Setup settings.
You can record using Overwrite, Overdub, Manual Punch
In, or Auto Punch In.
3. Use “Location” to specify the measure at which
recording will begin.
4. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
5. For the track you want to record, press
Play/Rec/Mute to make it indicate Rec.
6. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
With the default settings for Metronome Setup, the
metronome will sound for a two-measure pre-count, and
then recording will begin. Now you can perform on the
keyboard and controllers, and use the KARMA or RPPR
functions if desired.
7. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Playback will stop, and you will return to the location
specified in step 4.
An example of realtime recording
In this example, we’ll assign a drum program to MIDI Track
01 and create the following one-measure drum phrase.
1. Create a new song, and specify a drum program for
MIDI Track 01. Use “Track Select” to select MIDI
Track 01, and verify that you hear a drum program.
2. Go to the P0: Play/REC– Preference page. In
Recording Setup, specify “Loop All Tracks” and set it
to M001-M001.
For more information, see “Loop All Tracks” on page 93.
With this setting, measure 1 will be recorded repeatedly.
The newly recorded data will be added at each pass.
3. Set “REC Resolution” to x.
4. Press the SEQUENCE REC/WRITE switch, and then
the START/STOP switch.
The metronome will sound a two-measure count-down,
and then recording will begin.
5. As shown in the musical example printed above, start
by playing the C3 note of the keyboard to record the
bass drum for one measure.
6. Next, play the E3 note of the keyboard to record the
snare for one measure, and then the F#3 note to
record the hi-hat.
7. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to stop
recording.
8. Play back the result, and listen to the drum
performance you recorded.
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch. When
you’ve finished listening, press the START/STOP switch
once again to stop playback.

COMPARE switch to return to the state prior to
recording, and then re-record from step 4.
