Roland KF-90 Manual Do Utilizador

Multitrack recording is a method of recording whereby you 

listen to previously recorded material while continuing to 

add performances of other parts.

The KF-90 is capable of multitrack recording of up to sixteen 

parts. Since each part’s performance is recorded using one 

tone, you can layer performances, using up to sixteen tones 

for the data in one song.

The function used to layer these sixteen parts one at a time is 

called the “16 Track Sequencer.”

In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track 

Buttons” are another of the KF-90’s recording functions.

These “Track buttons” comprise five buttons used for 

organizing 16 Track Sequencer’s sixteen parts. This allows 

you to use the 16 Track Sequencer to add even more sounds 

to performances recorded with the Track buttons, and make 

even more detailed edits of the songs.

Additionally, you can easily play back the original song data 

with the 16 Track Sequencer, mute parts just by touching the 

Track Buttons, and more.

The track buttons correspond to 16-track sequencer parts as 

shown below.

Since the 16 Track Sequencer records one tone to one part, 

such functions to record two or more tones to one Part 

simultaneously. Also, you can’t record the performance with 

Automatic Accompaniment.

When you want to record with Automatic Accompaniment, 

then you should use the Track Buttons for recording. (Refer 

Commercially available song data recorded in Roland’s SMF 

format is also composed of sixteen parts.

By loading the song data from the floppy disk and using the 

16 Track Sequencer, you can then also edit the song data.
