It works like a cassette tape recorder, but it records performance data instead of sounds. The MDR-10 not only records the notes you play; it also remembers the voices and rhythms you select, the front panel controls you change, as well as all expression pedal, footswitch and knee lever positions, to reproduce your performance exactly as you play it. Moreover, you can separately record different parts of your performance, building up a song part by part. Using Disks With the Music Disk Recorder The M.D.R. records all your performance data to disks. A blank disk has been included with your MDR-10 for you to record your performances. Inserting the disk: Put the included disk, face up, into the disk slot under Note: Either double-sided double- the M.D.R. density (2DD) or double-sided high- density (2HD) 3.5-inch microfloppy disks can be used with the M.D.R. LED lights briefly when disk is inserted. р ‹ || | Note: When you wish to record to a disk, make sure the disk's Write - |___— Write-Protect tab Protect tab is set to OFF. Set it to ON when you wish to protect valuable data from being accidentally erased. Write-Protect ON Write-Protect OFF Ejecting the disk: To remove the disk, press the EJECT button next to the disk slot. Formatting a Disk Before recording a performance to your blank disk, the disk must first be formatted. | To format a disk: 1. Put the disk label facing up into the disk drive.

In this section, you'll learn how to record your first complete performance with the Music Disk Recorder. | To record a song: 1. Set the desired registrations on the Electone. Make all the Electone settings necessary for the song you will record. This means entering the all registra- tions you will need for the entire performance in the Registration Memory. Make sure also to select the registration that you will use at the beginning of the song. 2. Put a formatted disk into the disk slot. RECORD ep В LOWER aL coa U $e Mea pa co TROL SIT 3.

Outline of M.D.R. Operation Though the M.D.R. is as easy to operate as a cassette tape recorder, it is far more versatile. Since it records all Electone settings and control movements as well as the notes you play as digital data, it allows you much more flexibility and control than even the most sophisticated tape recorder. Basically, the M.D.R. independ- ently records the following three types of data: 1) Registration data (including Bulk data) All registrations stored to the Registration Memory numbered buttons as well as the registration currently set to the panel, are recorded at the beginning of a song, before the actual recording of your performance. Bulk data is also saved to the song with the Registration data. > 2) Performance data The M.D.R. records your performance on the keyboards and pedalboard of the Electone exactly as you play it, even recording the strength at which you play the keys and how hard you press them down while playing. The various types of performance data — Upper, Lower, Pedal and Lead — are recorded to independent "tracks," so that you can change any one of them without affecting the others. 3) Control data All changes you make on the Electone during your performance are recorded in real time. These include reg- istration changes (excepting those made from the LCD display), and the use of the expression pedal, footswitches and knee lever. Note: The data created by other Electones is not compatible with the EL-40. Separately Recording the Parts of a Song You can also record the parts of your performance independently; for example, first recording the chords and bass to the song (using the Lower and Pedal parts), and after that recording the melody. This function also lets you record keyboard percussion and performance control data, such as registration changes and expression pedal operation, separately from the other parts of the song. Torecord parts separately: 1 ‚Setup the Music Disk Recorder for recording, as vou did in the section Making a Recording above. The first steps in recording parts separately are the same as for normal recording: 1) Memorize all the registrations needed for your performance to the Registration Memory numbered buttons, and set the registration that will be used at the beginning of the song. 2) Insert a formatted disk. 3) Select the song number to which you will record your performance. 4) Press the RECORD button. 5 Da | 2. If you wish to, you can select individual parts for recording by pressing the appropriate RECORD buttons in the upper row. (For this example, record LOWER, PEDAL and CONTROL.) UPPER - Selects performance data of the Upper keyboard. LOWER - Selects performance data of the Lower keyboard. PEDAL - Selects performance data of the Ped- alboard. CONTROL - Selects Control functions (e.g., ex- pression pedal and footswitch movements, and regis- tration changes). The LED lamps above the buttons indicate the record status of the parts. This example operation disables recording of the Up- per part.

Note: If you want to record any one orallofthese four basic parts (Upper, Lower, Pedal and Control) at the same time, this step is actually unnec- essary. Pressing the RECORD button automatically sets up the M.D.R. to record the above four parts. The Upper, Lower, Pedal and Control performance data will automaticall y be selected when you press the REC- ORD button, butonly those parts that you actually play will be recorded. Later (in step #6 below), you can also record the Upper part without having to select it here in step #2. If you wish to select the Lead and/or Keyboard Per- cussion parts for separate recording: Hold down the SHIFT button and simultaneously press the appropriate button in the top row. The two buttons (indicated in the illustration at right) function as Lead and Keyboard Percussion selectors in the record mode. LEAD —Selects performance data of the Lead voice. K.PERC. — Selects performance data of Keyboard Percussion. (Keyboard Percussion can be recorded and played independent of the Rhythm patterns.) Holding down the SHIFT button in the record condi- tion lets you select these "hidden" functions. The lamps above each button will also change to indicate the status of SHIFT- selected parts.

Press the STOP button when you are finished with your performance to stop recording. 4. Now that you've recorded the first parts of your performance, press RECORD to set up recording of the next part. 5 . Press the RECORD button again and switch the parts you recorded in step #2 to Play in the PLAY sec- tion. 6. Press the CUSTOM PLAY button to start record- ing of the new part or parts. Playback of the previously recorded parts starts im- mediately. The CUSTOM PLAY button is used here to record only the parts that have been selected for recording, and play back only those parts that have been selected for playback. Since registration data has already been recorded with the first parts of the song, recording begins immediately. 7 | N PLAY RECORD o © WER PEDAL SER LOWER P TROL SHIFT SONG FROM SONG DEL.

When the operation has been completed, the M.D.R. returns to STOP status. The M.D.R. also makes it possible to use more than the 8 Registration Memory registrations in a performance — without having to alter the current panel settings. This would come in handy when performing several songs in succession that use more than 8 registrations. To do this: 1. First record the registrations you need into several song num- bers on the M.D.R. before the performance. (You should also try to record them in the order that you'll use them, if possible.) 2. During the performance, after all 8 registrations from a cer- tain song number have been used, select the next song number and press the PLAY button on the M.D.R. This replaces all 8 registrations in Registration Memory with the new ones from the selected song number. 3. By repeating the above steps, you can run through an entire performance without having to change the panel settings. Replacing Registrations The M.D.R. also lets you change the registrations of an existing song without changing the performance data. The procedure is the same as that of Recording Registrations mentioned in the previous page. Normal Playback You can play back your recorded performance by simply pressing the PLAY button. Registrations and other data will be recalled to the Electone. o (ECORD > PLAY To play back a song: = = ES NTROL UPPER Lo®en pial coro sf ООО O0 REPEAT SONG COPY— 1 Select the number of the song you wish to play back by using the SONG SELECT buttons.

This function is especially useful for playing a single part, such as the melody, over previously recorded ac- companiment parts. To select specific parts for playback: 1 . Select the number of the song to be played back. 2. Set the parts you wish to mute to OFF, by pressing the appropriate PLAY button. The LED of the se- lected part should be off. 3. Select the parts you wish to play back by setting them to ON. 4. Press the PLAY button. First the PLA Y LED lights and the registration and other data are transmitted, then playback of the per- formance starts (excepting the parts that were turned off in step #2). 5 . Now perform your new part or parts over the playback parts. When the end of the recorded performance is reached, playback is automatically stopped and the STOP status is resumed. 11 Repeated Playback This feature allows you to repeatedly play back either all songs on a disk or only one specific song. To repeat playback of a song or songs: 1. Select the song number you wish to play back. If you wish to play back all songs on a disk, this selects the first song that will be played back. The others will follow in order. 2 Hold down the SHIFT button and simultaneously press the SONG REPEAT button. The LEDs above SHIFT and SONG REPEAT light up, and "ALL" appears in the M.D.R. display. To repeatedly playback all songs starting with the selected song: Press the PLAY button at this point (go to step #3 below). To repeatedly playback only the selected song: Again hold down the SHIFT button and simulta- neously press the SONG REPEAT button. "SinG" appears in the M.D.R. display to indicate that a single song will be repeatedly played back. 3. Press the PLAY button to begin playback of the song or songs. Playback will begin from the song selected and repeat indefinitely.
