Yamaha PSR-2100 Manual Do Utilizador

With these powerful yet easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard performances and store 
them for future recall. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page 96), which lets you 
record easily and quickly; Multi Recording (page 97), which lets you record several different parts; and Step Recording 
(page 99), which lets you enter notes one by one. Songs can include not only the voice settings for the keyboard 
performance (Main, Layer, Left), but also the effects, vocal harmony and auto accompaniment parts. The recorded song 
can be stored to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 47).

There are two methods of recording songs: realtime recording and step recording.

■ Realtime Recording

This method lets you record performance data in real time. There are two ways to use 
realtime recording: Quick and Multi.

This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano 
song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand 
and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your 
right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right 
hand and the auto accompaniment.

This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create 
the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument 
individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over 
an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance.

■ Step Recording (page 99)

This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event 
at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method — similar to writing 
music notation onto paper. By using the Event List (page 108-110), you can input 
notes, chords and other events one by one.

■ Song Editing (page 105)

The PSR-2100/1100 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick 
Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods.
When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded song, use the Punch 
IN/OUT function (page 104).

• The internal memory capacity of 

the PSR-2100/1100 is about 
1520KB (PSR-2100)/700KB (PSR-
1100). Memory capacity for 2DD 
and 2HD floppy disks is about 
720KB and 1.44MB, respectively. 
When you store data to these loca-
tions, all file types of the PSR-2100/
1100 (Voice, Style, Song, Registra-
tion, etc.) are stored together.

• The microphone input signal (PSR-

2100 only) cannot be recorded. 

• Songs recorded on the PSR-2100/

1100 are automatically recorded as 
SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) 
data. For details on SMF, see 
page 161.

• Playback of the recorded song 

data can be transmitted from MIDI 
OUT, letting you play the sounds of 
a connected external tone genera-
tor (page 149).

• The volume level of each channel 

of the song can be adjusted from 
the Mixing Console and the set-
tings can be saved. Moreover, even 
after you’ve set a voice for your 
keyboard play during recording, 
you can record voice selections, so 
that the voice changes automati-
cally during playback (page 107).
