Chapter 4. Recording Your Performance
You can easily record your performances.
A recorded performance can be played back to hear your
own playing, or to add additional parts.
The following types of recording can be done using the
HP107e.
• Recording just your own keyboard performance (→
"Recording a New Song" p. 25)
• Recording along with a built-in song (→ "Recording
Along with a Song" p. 26)
• Recording each hand separately (→ "Selecting and
Recording the Track for Each Hand Separately" p. 27)
Notes regarding recording
• Only one song can be recorded.
• The HP107e includes a "Song Backup function" (p. 31),
which allows you to store the song recorded with the
HP107e in the instrument itself. Recorded performance
that have not been backed up with Song Backup is
erased with the power is turned off. Be sure to use Song
Backup for any performance you want to keep. You can
either record it on an external audio device, or use an
external MIDI device to save the performance data on a
floppy disk. For details, refer to Chapter 6. Connect-
ing External Devices (p. 33).
If you see the following...
If you attempt to select a song when another performance
has already been recorded, the following appears in the
display and the [Record] button's indicator flashes.
If it is OK to erase the performance, press the [Rec] button.
If you do not want to erase the performance, press the
[Play] button.
