The optional Music Disk Recorder MDR-4 is a sophisticated recording device that lets you
record your performances and play back them at any time. It works like a cassette tape re-
corder, but it records performance data instead of sounds.

The main features of the MDR-4 are as follows:
• Recording your performance and playing back it.
• Separate recordings for each voice section: Upper/Lower keyboard and Pedalboard.
• Canceling the recroding and retrying it from scratch.
• Making recording of the keybard percussion.
• Enabling you to pause, fast-forward and fast-reverse during playback.
• Playing back the specified parts only.
• Playing back all of the songs (or a specified song) saved in the floppy disk repeatedly.
• Changing the tempo of the recorded songs.
• Restoring to the original tempo if the tempo has been changed.
• Copying the recorded song to the other song number.
• Deleting the recorded songs.
●
The data created by the EL-17 using MDR-4 can be played back with the upper models
such as EL-37.
●
Data created by the upper models such as EL-37 may not be properly played back by the
EL-17 using the MDR-4, since the number of voices, rhythms and functions of the EL-17 are
fewer than the ones of the upper models.
