This chapter explains how to record your performance using the PF-500
recording function.
You can, for example, play back what you have played on the PF-500 keyboard
for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then
practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part.
Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the left-
and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor-
mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.

Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the PF-500. A cassette
tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the PF-500 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a
tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the PF-500 produces sound based on the
saved information. Therefore, recording on the PF-500 may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this
book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.
