Recorder
The Overture features a two track recorder that lets you record what you play on the
keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can “layer” one part on top of
another, using a different voice if you like.
The Recorder feature is a useful addition to any keyboard study program because it lets
you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain
fun. This recorded information is “nonvolatile” and therefore will not be lost when the power
is turned off. The 2 tracks can play back separately or together.
The Record function records all settings exactly as you selected and performed them.
