Song Recording
The PSR-A3 SONG TRACKS allows you to record and play back com-
plete songs including chord sequences created using the Auto Accompa-
niment feature and a melody line you play on the keyboard. The SONG
TRACKS include one ACCOMP track and two MELODY tracks.
The PSR-A3 can retain up to 8 complete songs in internal memory, and
these can be selected and played back simply by selecting the appropri-
ate SONG. The song numbers 30 through 37 are the area for your own
creation (user songs).
• Material recorded on the SONG TRACKs is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is
turned OFF if batteries are present or an AC adaptor is connected.
• The recorded data will be lost if the power is turned OFF, the AC adaptor is unplugged, or the
batteries fail during recording.
• For 8 songs, up to approximately 4200 notes in the MELODY tracks, or 2100 chords in the
ACCOMP tracks can be recorded.
