Preparing for a New

Recording

Items Necessary for Recording

• Internal IDE hard drive (may already be installed)

• Audio equipment for the Master Out signal, or stereo

headphones

• Recording source (microphones, electric guitar,

synthesizer, CD player, etc.)

IDE (See Appendices, p. 64)

Create a New Song

Recording cannot take place when a demo song is selected.

This is because the demo songs are protected from being

changed or overwritten (p. 49) Use the following procedure

to create a new song. This process is analogous to exchanging

reels of tape on a multi-track recorder.

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F1 (SONG)]. The Song menu

icon is displayed.

2. Press [F2 (NEW)]. If “NEW” does not appear above [F2],

press [PAGE] until “NEW” appears above [F2], and then

press [F2 (NEW)].

3. Press [F1 (Name)]. The Song Name screen appears in the

display.

4. Using [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ], and the TIME/

VALUE dial, enter the name of the song.

You can also enter the name of your song by pressing

[NUMERICS/ASCII] so it is lit. Then you can enter

characters using the [SELECT] buttons.

The function buttons work as shown below:

[F1 (Hist)]: Pressing this button will take you through a

list of the last 20 song names, one at a time.

[F2 (Clr)]: Clears all the characters in the window.

[F3 (Del)]: Deletes the character where the cursor is

positioned.

[F4 (Ins)]: Inserts a space where the cursor is positioned.

[F5 (Write)]: Stores the song name and exits the Song Name

screen.

[F6 (EXIT)]: Exits the Song Name screen without storing

the song name

5. When you are done entering the song name, press [F5

(Write)].

6. Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ], and the TIME/

VALUE dial to select the settings for the Sample Rate,

Record Mode, Icon, Copy System PRM, and Copy

Mixer/Scene PRM parameters, as explained below.

Sample Rate

Choose 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz for the sample rate. If

you are planning to use a digital source and want to make a

digital connection, you must match the sample rate to that of

the digital source. If you are planning to make a CD of your

own original music, select 44.1 kHz. You cannot change the

sample rate after the song is recorded. In addition, you

cannot mix different sample rates within the same song.

Recording Mode

This selects the amount of RDAC coding used by the song.

For most applications, Roland recommends using the MTP

(Multi-Track Pro) mode. Once a song is created, the

recording mode cannot be changed.

MTP (Multi-Track Pro):

Appropriate for use with professional quality equipment

(digital mixers, effects, processors, etc.). This provides

the highest recording quality for recording and editing.

MAS (Mastering):

Appropriate for use with CD players and DAT

recorders. Songs recorded in this recording mode can

play back a maximum of eight tracks at a time. If you are

recording mastering tracks, you can play Tracks 1-6. If

you are not using mastering tracks, you can play Tracks

Song Names

It is not necessary to name your song every time you

create a new song. When you create a new song, it will

automatically be given a name like “InitSong 001.”

However, this makes it difficult to remember what song

it is. We suggest you assign a unique name to your song

to help you keep track of it. You can change the name of

the song later if desired.
