Song Recording
With the powerful and easy-to-use song recording features, you can record
your own keyboard performances to a floppy disk as a User song, and create
your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions.
Each User song lets you record up to sixteen independent tracks. These
include not only the voices for the keyboard performance (R1, R2, L), but also
the auto accompaniment parts.
The PSR-550 provides two different ways to record: Quick Recording and Multi Track Recording. In addition,
comprehensive editing functions let you fine tune the recorded song data.
Quick Recording .................................................................................................................. page 80
With this method, you can quickly and easily record a song, without having to make
detailed settings.
Multi Track Recording .......................................................................................................... page 82
With this method, you can record up to sixteen tracks independently, and even re-
record parts that have been previously recorded.
Punch In/Out ...................................................................................................................... page 84
This function allows you to selectively re-record a portion of a song track (the
measures between the specified punch-in and punch-out points.
Start Measure .................................................................................................................... page 84
This determines the measure at which recording starts. Set this when you
desire to start the recording in the middle of the song when re-recording. Keep
in mind that all previously recorded data from the starting measure is replaced.
Editing ................................................................................................................................... page 86
The four editing features below allow you to edit already recorded song data.
Quantize............................................................................................................................. page 86
This function aligns the timing of the recorded note data to a specified value.
Editing Setup Data ............................................................................................................. page 88
This function allows you to change a variety of non-note settings.
Naming User Songs ........................................................................................................... page 90
This function assigns a twelve-letter name to a recorded song.
Clearing User Song Data ................................................................................................... page 91
This function lets you delete song data, either a specified part or the entire song.
After finishing your recording of a User song, you can play it back in the same way as one of the disk songs.
User Songs are recorded on
floppy disks. They cannot be
recorded unless a floppy disk
is inserted into the disk drive.

(format 0) files. See page
109 for information on the
SMF (format 0) format.
Being able to record note on/
off and velocity means being
able to record forte or piano,
crescendo or diminuendo,
and other subtle elements of
expression from the
keyboard as you play them.
Note ON (key press), note
OFF (key release), and
velocity (strength of key
press) are MIDI data events
(playing information) (page
107).
The maximum amount of song memory is 65,000 notes for 2DD disks and 130,000
notes for 2HD disks.
