No, you cannot record and play back -- the JV 1010 does not have a sequencer. You would need an external sequencer, a disk reader, anything, but always external.
Yes, there is room for user performances (doesn't matter whether splits or layers) and it is backed up by an internal battery. But I don't remember now how many memory positions you have for that.
