In Song recording, the operations of the controllers and knobs as well as the keyboard performance are recorded to a track as MIDI data. For the keyboard performance, only Parts having the Keyboard Control switch set to On will be recorded.

For the knob operations, Control Change and Parameter Change messages will also be recorded.
For more information on Control Change, refer to the Data List.

NOTE

When Arp Rec is On, only the result of the Arpeggio playback is recorded.
When Arp Rec is Off, data of the entire keyboard performance is recorded, enabling you to change the Arpeggio patterns later.

There are three types of recording (Record Type) available on the MONTAGE M; Replace, Overdub, and Punch.

  • Replace: overwrites the existing data.
  • Overdub: adds a layer to the existing sound on the track.
  • Punch: overwrites the specified section of the existing data.

If you wish to rerecord a specified section, you can set up the Punch-in and Punch-out parameters for the Punch recording.
When you start the Punch recording, the recorded Song will be played back from the beginning. When the playback reaches the measure set for Punch-in, the recording starts automatically. The recording ends automatically when it reaches the measure set for Punch-out, and the rest of the recorded Song will be played back to the end. For example, if you wish to rerecord measures 3 to 5 of an eight-measure Song, follow the instructions shown below.
