PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual 59
Recording your performances
The powerful recording features let you record your own performances and original
songs and save them as User songs (songs #101 – 105). Naturally, these can be
played back the same as the preset songs.
Recording
• You can record your keyboard performance in real time, just as if you were recording to a tape recorder.
• Each song has a total of six independent tracks available for recording—five melody tracks and one accompaniment
(chord play) track.
•You can save your recordings to the User songs (#101 – 105). You should save your User songs permanently to
SmartMedia card, since User song data is lost when the power is is turned off.
• The notation for User Songs (#101 – 105) cannot be directly displayed. However, you can have the notation dis-
played by converting the songs to Standard MIDI File format and saving them to a SmartMedia card. (See page 64.)

Recording a song
ᕡ Select the desired User song number (101 – 105) for recording in the MAIN dis-
play.
• Be careful to keep the power
on! If the power is interrupted
in any way (power switch is
turned off, adaptor cable is
unplugged, or battery power is
low), the song data will be lost.
• Keep in mind that when battery
power becomes low, the instru-
ment sounds may revert to their
initial settings and the User
song data and panel settings
may be lost, especially if you
play the instrument in this con-
dition at a high volume. If you
intend on using batteries, make
sure to save your data regularly
and often to a SmartMedia card.
