Recording Your First Song
When you're ready to compose your own song, follow these steps:
1. Press the SONG mode button.
2. Press INC or DEC until you find the song called "Tutorial Song." This song is blank, but it has
some programs loaded to help you get started with your composition.
3. Press EDIT, and then press the Song tab on the upper-most left of the display. Your screen
will look like the one below:
4. Press the Add Track button (located on the lower right of the display). Your display will now
look like this:
Though the cursor is resting on "Synth" in image above, it could be changed to "Audio" by
rotating the Data Wheel. This particular screen is where you define whether a new track is to
be a synthesizer or audio track.
With the cursor on "Synth", press the OK button on the upper right of the display. This will
create a new track—in this case, Track 10 as shown below.
5. Use the PREV and NEXT buttons to highlight "[Grand Piano]" or "A-1 (000)." "Preset 1:"
selects the bank under which you are looking for sounds, whereas the "A-1 (000)" lets you
cycle through the individual sounds contained within the selected bank.
6. Use the Control Wheel (or INC/DEC buttons) to select an instrument you want to play.
7. Press the SONG mode button once again to return you to the top level of Song mode.
8. Press PLAY and RECORD simultaneously to start recording. Once you do this, the RECORD
button will turn red, the song will start playing along with a metronome, and you will be
recording. Play whatever you'd like on the keyboard and press stop when you're finished.
