Recording the sound of a 
Combination or Program
Here’s how you can easily copy the settings of a 
Combination or Program, and then record using that 
sound.
When you’re performing in Program or Combination 
mode, you can use the Auto Song Setup function to 
automatically transfer the settings of that program or 
combination into a song. Alternatively, you can use the 
Sequencer mode menu commands Copy From Combi 
and Copy from Program to set up a song in a similar 
way.
Auto Song Setup function
The explanation of the Auto Song Setup function given 
here follows the procedure from Combination mode.
1. Enter Combination mode.
2. If you change any of the settings in the 
combination in the Combi P0: Play– Program T01–
08 page.
Such as panning, volume and arpeggiator setting you 
must first save the edited settings using Update 
Combination
 or Write Combination.
3. Hold down the ENTER switch and press the 
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
The Setup to Record dialog box will appear.
4. Press the OK button to perform the Auto Song 
Setup. 
The M50 will automatically switch to Sequencer mode, 
and the combination’s settings will be applied to a new 
song. The new song will be the first unused song.
5. You will automatically enter record-ready mode, 
and the metronome will begin sounding according 
to the settings in P0–1: Play/REC– Preference page. 
6. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch, and 
real-time recording will begin.
When you’re finished recording, press the START/
STOP switch once again.
Setup in Sequencer mode
(Copy From Combination/Copy From Pro-
gram)
In Sequencer mode, you can use the Copy From 
Combi
 and Copy From Program menu commands to 
set up a sequencer song based on a combination or 
program. In this example, we’ll explain how to set up a 
song based on a combination.
Note: 
Make sure that the global MIDI channel (Global 
P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic page, MIDI Channel) is set to 
01.
1. Create a new song. 
2. Select the menu command “Copy From Combi.”
A dialog box will appear.
Select the program or combination that you want to 
copy (i.e., the copy source).
We will copy the effect settings of the combination as 
well, so check the IFXsMFXs and TFX check boxes.
Check Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi REC. The 
Status
 will be automatically set to REC for the MIDI 
tracks needed to record that combination.
Press the OK button to execute the copy.
Notice that when you execute this command, the Play/
Rec/Mute
 setting of each track will be set 
automatically. The Multi REC check box will be 
checked.
3. Begin recording.
Press the LOCATE switch to set the location to 
001:01.000.
Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch, and then 
press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Note: 
If you play the keyboard during the pre-count 
before recording, the phrase generated by the Drum 
Track function, and arpeggiator will start playing the 
moment recording begins. Record your performance.
4. When you are finished performing, press the 
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
If you made a mistake or want to re-record, you can 
use the Compare function (press the COMPARE 
switch) to re-record as many times as you want. (The 
Multi REC
 check box will be unchecked when you use 
Compare, so you will need to check it again.)
Using the Drum Track function and 
the arpeggiator to record on multiple 
MIDI tracks simultaneously
You can use multi-recording to simultaneously record 
a multi-track performance using the Drum Track 
function and arpeggiator.
For details, please see “Arpeggiator settings in 
Combination and Sequencer modes” on page 109 of 
the Parameter Guide.
Using the RPPR function to record on 
multiple MIDI tracks simultaneously
You can use multi-recording to simultaneously record
