If the [VOCAL] button doesn’t light when you press it to record a vocal take, the unit must be in SONG mode.
Perform the following procedure.
- Press the [EDIT] button and then press the MIC [ON] button.
- The MIC SETTING screen appears. - Use the [VALUE] dial to select “Mic In,” and set it to “BUILT-IN” (the built-in mic).
- Press the [SONG] button to set the workflow to “SONG.”
- Press the [VOCAL] button to select the VOCAL track.
- Press one of the pads [1]–[16] that are unlit (the unrecorded vocal takes) to select where to record your vocal.
- “[REC] RecStandby” appears on the screen.
- Each time you record a vocal, the vocal is assigned to an individual pad as a “vocal take.” - Press one of the STEP SEQUENCER [1]–[10] buttons to set the timing at which you want to start recording.
- The timing for starting the recording (measure-beat) is shown at the top right-hand of the screen. - Press the [REC] button to enter record standby.
- Press the MIC [ON] button to make it light.
- Audio can now be input through the built-in mic. - Use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the recording volume.
- Make some sound to input audio through the mic, and adjust the volume as high as possible without letting the level meter reach full scale. - Press the [>] (START/STOP) button to begin recording.
- Press the [>] (START/STOP) button to stop recording.
