The Step backing sequence feature & Mp3 overdubbing is so kool also,
its endless what you can do,...

Dnj ... lovin' the honeymoon phase.

It would appear to me that despite the Yamaha Tyros 5 being three years old that it actually has more advanced and additional features in both MIDI Song and Audio Record mode.

PA4X Backing Sequence (Quick Record), Step Backing Sequence, 16 Track MIDI Sequencer, and Audio Recording are just other names for the same features on the Tyros 5. Step Recording, Recording Chords, Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/Out (Realtime Recording), Editing Channel Events of Existing Song Data, and basically the same audio recording features with the Tyros 5 Audio Recorder/Player.

In addition, the Tyros 5 offers Keyboard and Vocal Practice Using the Guide Function, Playing Backing Parts with the Performance Assistant, and Vocal Cancel, Time Stretch, Pitch Shift, and Loop Markers in the Audio Recording/Player Section.
Audio Multipads and Audio Style sections can also be recorded by the Audio Recorder plus MP3 playback.

Technics KN7000 had this 14 years ago 2002. Plus it was way easier seeing what you were doing with different screens. You could also record any channel with the ensemble mode.

Hi Marcus,
the above functions were available on my pa800 , 6 to 7 years ago. Possibly goes back further.
MP3 recording, can 't comment on, never tried it.

The clip didn't into all the audio functions available on the pa4x .
