E-61 Saving Keyboard Setups to Registration Memory Registration memory lets you store Digital Keyboard setups (tone, rhythm, etc.) for instant recall whenever you need them. For information about items that can be part of a registration setup, see “Parameter List” (page E-158). When recalling a registration setup, you can recall only the setting items related to accompaniments, or only the setting items related to scales. For more information, see “RegFltAcmp (Registration Filter: Accompaniment)” (page E-127) and “RegFltScal (Registration Filter: Scale)” (page E-127). You can have up to 96 setups in registration memory at one time. The C-10 (BANK) and C-11 (1) to C-16 (6) buttons are used for selecting bank and area. Each press of the C-10 (BANK) button cycles through the bank numbers, from 1 to 16. Pressing a button from C-11 (1) to C-16 (6) selects the corresponding area in the currently selected bank. ■Registration Save Example This example saves the data shown in the table below to the following setups in Bank 1. Initial melody setup saved to Setup 1-1. Second melody setup saved to Setup 1-2. Third melody setup saved to Setup 1-3.

The simplest use of the song sequencer is to record a performance as you play it. For details, see “To use EASY REC to record” (page E-63). Virtually everything you play on the keyboard can be recorded by the song sequencer. You also can use the song sequencer to perform multi-track recording of 17 different tracks and assemble them into a final song. For example, you can first record a piano track, followed by a bass track, then a guitar track or tracks that feature other musical instruments. A single song can be made up of up to 17 tracks. The 17 tracks are broken down as shown in the table below. The Digital Keyboard uses multiple parts simultaneously to sound Auto Accompaniment, a keyboard layer tone, and keyboard split tone at the same time. The system track is used to record the notes of these parts in a single location. Tracks 01 through 16 each correspond to a single musical instrument part. Each track is used to record the notes of each individual part. The parts shown in the table above correspond to mixer parts. For details, see “Using the Mixer” (page E-38).
