User manual ROLAND KR-11 MANUAL 2

[. . . ] r ENGLISH KR-11 Owner's Manual Thank you for purchasing the Roland KR-11 Digital Intelligent Piano!So that you may enjoy reliable performance for years to come, please take time to read this manual from beginning to end. GM (General MIDI) and GS compatible · General MIDI System m The General MIDI System is a set of recommendations which seeks to standardize the MIDI support features of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and musical data (disks) carrying the General MIDI logo conform to General MIDI specifications. [. . . ] In Whole Keyboard mode, you can record onto any track except the Rhythm track. In that case, the track whose button is pressed last will be the recording track. Note: If a disk has been inserted into the disk drive, or after playing back a song on disk, you need to press the [SONG] button to bring up the Song Select screen. Select <U: User Song> and press the [REC] button. 31 KR-11 Owner's Manual--Recording and Playback Recording Minus-One performances Minus-One refers to a technique whereby a Standard MIDI File is used as backup, while you can mute the part you wish to play (usually the melody). Thanks to Minus-One, you can mute any part of a Standard MIDI File and play (and record) it yourself. If you just want to have fun with a Standard MIDI File without recording your performance, see "Track Mute: Muting specific tracks" on page 33. Correcting minor mistakes Let us now look at the advantages of working with tracks. If you don't like a particular line (the melody, say), you can correct it without re-recording the entire song. If necessary, use <PAGE> and <PAGE®®> to jump to another Song Select page. As you know, the available parts are closely linked to the Keyboard modes. That is why you need to perform several actions to ensure that the right sound will be used for recording. [Whole]-- Press One Touch Program [PIANO]. [Lower], [Upper]-- Press the [LOWER] button and select the Split mode. [Rhythm]-- Press the [Drums/SFX] button and select <Drum Set> or <SFX>. Note: You cannot record onto the [BASS/ACCOMP] track. Note: If you select a part other than the ones shown above, nothing will be recorded on the corresponding track. Please be aware that Minus-One recording will erase all data on the selected track. 2. The track button's indicator and the [PLAY] indicator will flash. Two measures of count-in will sound, after which recording will begin. Press the [STOP] or [RESET] button when you're done. Notes about correcting mistakes · If the re-recorded bit is shorter than the original track, all notes that lie beyond the point where you stopped recording will remain. To erase the entire track, see "Erase: removing data from a track or song" on page 40 and go back to step (1). Use the [BWD] and [FWD] buttons to call up the measure where you want to start recording, and press the [REC] button. Press the [PLAY] button, and recording will begin after two measures of count-in. · It is also possible to add (overdub) additional notes to a track without erasing what you have previously recorded. Press the button of the track you want to record to (indicator flashes). Two measures of count-in will sound, after which recording will begin.
