Recording Your Performance
Changing a voice or tempo after recording
You can change the voice and tempo after recording to change a song’s feel or to set a more suitable tempo.
You can also change these elements in the middle of a song.
Procedure
Refer to “Questions about
Operations and Functions”
on page 97 for information
on the settings that can be
changed here.
1. Select a song you wish to change by using the SONG
SELECT [ ] [ ] buttons.
2. To change the voice or tempo in the middle of the
song, specify the measure to change using the B [–]/
[+] buttons.
Change the tempo in Step 4.
3. Change the settings (voice, reverb, etc.).
For example, if you wish to change the recorded E.Piano1 voice to E.
Piano2, use the MAIN voice group buttons and the A [–]/[+] buttons
to select E.Piano2.
When the setting is complete, press one of the SONG SELECT [ ]
[ ] buttons once to return to the song select screen.
The edited settings (except
for the tempo setting) will be
saved in memory and you
will not be able to restore the
previous settings. Proceed
with caution.
4. Press and hold down the [REC] button and select the
track to change.
The indicator for the selected track lights up in red.
Change the tempo setting now, if necessary.
At this point, do not play the keyboard or press the [START/PAUSE]
button. Otherwise, recording will start, erasing the recorded data.
5. Press the [STOP] or [REC] button to exit record mode.
