Backing Track Functions

If you press [EXIT], you’re returned to the previous screen 
without deleting the Style(s).

When [STYLE] is on, turning [ONE TOUCH] on (button lit) will 
assign the most suitable Tones for the currently selected Style 
as the Upper Tone and Lower Tone. This is called the “One 
Touch” function.

If [ONE TOUCH] is on when you switch Styles, the keyboard 
Tones will also switch to the Tones that are most suitable for 
the Style you selected.

To turn off the One Touch function, turn [ONE TOUCH] off 
(button unlit).

The Keyboard Mode (p. 19) will change depending on the 
selected Style.

Switching the Style when [ONE TOUCH] is on will not change 
the Split Point (p. 19).

The One Touch function is available only when a preset Style 
is selected.

You can’t change the Tones that are assigned to each Style by 
the One Touch function.

You can use the 16-track recorder of the Prelude to record 
your own performances.

You can record your keyboard performance while listening to 
an accompaniment, and then listen to the playback of your 
recorded performance.

Recorded performances are discarded when another Song is 
selected, or when the power is turned off. If you don’t want to 
lose the Song, you must save it (p. 28).

On the Prelude, there are two ways to record a Song.

• Refer to “Recording in the Main screen” (p. 26).

• Refer to “Recording a specified Part (SONG TRACK)” (p. 

Song settings (e.g., tempo and time signature) are determined 
by the settings of the Style that’s saved in the selected 
Performance. You’ll probably find it convenient to first select the 
Style and Tones that you want to use (p. 36). If you are 
performing without using a Style, you can specify the tempo and 
time signature of the Song in the SONG TRACK screen (p. 27).

If you want to record the Style playback as well, turn [STYLE] 
on.

 Recording will start/stop simultaneously when you start/stop 

the Style.
If you want to record only your keyboard performance without 
playing a Style, turn [SONG] on.
If [STYLE] and [SONG] are both turned off, the rhythm pattern 
of the Style selected by the STYLE FAMILY buttons will be 
recorded together with the keyboard performance.

If you want to record your performance after selecting any 
internal song, imported from USB memory, refer to “Re-
recording Your Performance” (p. 28). To record a new Song, 
use the Song Initializing operation. Refer to “Recording a 
specified Part (SONG TRACK)” (p. 27). The following 
procedure, allows you to record your performance.

[SONG REC] will blink.
