Recording And Playing Back Musical Performances; Recording A Performance - Viscount Prestige 50 Guide Rapide

5. RECORDING AND PLAYING BACK MUSICAL
The Prestige 50 is equipped with a multitrack sequencer used to record, save to floppy disk and
playback musical performances. The following are the basic directions for using these functions; a
detailed description of all the sequencer functions is given in the "Advanced Manual".

5.1 RECORDING A PERFORMANCE

To start a recording session, simply press the [RECORD] button after inserting a floppy disk in the
drive. The system will read the disk and show it on the display:
after which the page used will appear to start recording:
RECORD:NEWSONG
Ped:REC
Now turn on the voices and controls required, then press [START-STOP] to start recording.
The sequencer will start with the number of count-in bars (set using the metronome page, see the
"Advanced Manual") and the Led of the [START-STOP] button will flash in time with the current
tempo and the Time Signature set.
To stop recording, press [START-STOP] again; the display will show the page for saving the sequence
just recorded, on which the name of the .MID file that will be written to the floppy disk can be
entered.
SEQUENCER SAVE:
SONG:
With the usual procedure, use the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor and the encoder to select
the characters. Then press [ENTER] to save the recording or [EXIT] to abort the saving operation.
Otherwise, use [RECORD] or [EXIT] to exit the sequencer function and return to the main page.
WARNING!
To make sure that existing recordings are not lost, when entering the name of the song take
care not to enter a name already on the disk. In this case, the original file will be overwritten.
