Recording your own music
The RD-170 comes with a two-track sequencer you can use for recording ideas, new songs or your own versions of
existing music.
The RD-170’s tracks can be used to record your
left and right hand parts separately and then
listen to them in isolation. Doing so allows you
to play the “missing” part in realtime. This is
convenient for piano lessons.
You can also use these tracks for recording two
different (i.e. four-hand) parts. You can even
play in realtime to the recorded music. Be
aware, however, that the parts played in Split or
Layer (page 13) mode will be recorded onto dif-
ferent tracks.
(1) Select the sound(s) you want to use for
recording, then set the Chorus, Reverb, Sym-
pathetic Resonance, tempo, etc.
You cannot change the tempo or beat while
recording.
(2) Press the [REC¥∏] button.
The indicator(s) for the track(s) where no data
are recorded start flashing. This is the standby
mode.
Note: Press [REC¥∏] again if you do not want to record
after all.
(3) Press Track [1] or [2] to cause the correspond-
ing button to flash.
This means that the data of that track (if avail-
able) will be erased and new data will be
recorded. You cannot restore data that have
been erased in this way.
Note: When a track’s indicator lights steadily, the data
recorded there are played back during recording onto
the other track. If you do not want to hear that part,
switch off the track by pressing its button before acti-
vating [REC¥∏].
(4) Press the [METRONOME] button if you wan to
use the metronome while recording.
See p. 19 for how to set the metronome.
(5) Press [PLAY®]. The RD-170 starts recording
after a two-measure count-in.
If you start playing without pressing [PLAY®],
the RD-170 starts recording right away, with-
out any count-in.
(6) Press the [PLAY®] button to stop recording.
(7) Return to step (3) if you wish to record a sec-
ond part to the other track.

A note about recording
There is a limit for the number of notes that can
be recorded. If a pedal is used, pedal messages
are recorded as well, so that the number of
notes you can record decreases.
When the memory is almost full during record-
ing, the [REC¥∏] indicator starts flashing faster.
When no more data can be recorded, the
[REC¥∏] button goes dark and recording stops
automatically.
Playing back your song
(1) Press [PLAY®] to play back your song.
(Press it again to stop playback.)
(2) If necessary, use [DEC÷NO]/[INC÷YES] to change
the playback tempo.
Changing the tempo does not affect the pitch.
Listening to a track in isolation
(1) Press the Track button of the part you do not
want to hear (confirm that it’s dark).
(2) Press the [PLAY®] button to start playback.
(3) Press it again to stop playback.
