| 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 1s also saved to the song with the Registration data. Bulk data includes: Registration Shift settings, Rhythm Pattern (User rhythms) and Rhythm Sequence data (EL-60 only), and User voices. 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-60. Only the Rhythm Program data is compatible between EL-60 and EL-90/70. 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. | To record parts separately: 1 Set up the Music Disk Recorder for recording, as you 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. 72 7 3A... 2 If you wish to, you can select individual parts for far re re RE et Ë recording by pressing the appropriate RECORD LE ВЯ E OO] buttons in the upper row.

This example operation disables recording of the Up- per part. If you wish to select the Lead and/or Keyboard Per- cussion parts for 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 -5elects 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. 3. Press the PLAY button, and start playing after numbers appear in the display. For this example, play the lower keyboard and ped- alboard. Press the STOP button when you are finished with your performance to stop recording. 73 | Note: If you want to record any one | orall of these 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.

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.

ДЕН sd 75 ió ono Recalling Recorded Registrations (and Bulk Data) The registrations (and bulk data) recorded to song numbers in the above operation can be loaded back to the Electone by simply selecting the appropriate song number and pressing the PLAY button. 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 1n 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 1s the same as that of Recording Registrations mentioned in the previous page. | | 1 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. To play back a song: 1. Select the number of the song you wish to play back by using the SONG SELECT buttons. Turn on the Lead and/or Keyboard Percussion parts for play back by holding down the SHIFT button and simultaneously pressing the appropriate button in the PLAY section (as shown in the illustration on the right). HO res 2. Press the PLAY button. The PLAY lamp lights up and a small bar moves across the display, indicating that the Recorder 1s resetting registrations on the Electone. 3. Playback of the song begins after the Electone data is reset and the song time is shown on the recorder's display. Playback automatically stops at the end of a song. You can, however, stop playback in the middle of a song by pressing the STOP button. 77 [o E E Ea 0) RECORD — PLAY 50950005 0 BONS DEL.
