P-90 Recording Your Performance

ENGLISH

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the P-90

keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record

just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while

playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up

to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts

separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound

when played back. The P-90’s two-track Song Recorder allows the

recording of one User Song.

Recording to the First Track

CAUTION

Notes on recording

All user song recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after

the power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer peri-

ods of time, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

It is also possible to store the data to an external MIDI storage device such as the

Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described

on page 42.

1. Make all the initial settings.

Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you

will be using Dual or Split mode). Make any other desired settings (tempo,

reverb, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume.

You can also adjust the playback volume using [MASTER VOLUME].

You can record your perfor-

mance (audio data) to a cas-

sette tape recorder or other

recording device via the OUT-

PUT connector (page 10).

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data

recorded on a cassette tape dif-

fers from that of data recorded

on the P-90. A cassette tape

records audio signals. The P-90

“saves” information regarding

note timing, voices, and a

tempo value, but not audio sig-

nals. When you play back

recorded songs, the P-90 pro-

duces sound based on the

saved information. Therefore,

recording on the P-90 may be

more accurately called “saving

information.” However, this book

often uses the word “recording”

because it seems to make more

sense.

To avoid erasing data from

the track:

Press the [TRACK1/2] button. If

the indicator lights up green, the

track already contains data.

Note that the existing data will

be erased if you record new

data on the track.
