PX5-S phrase recorder: does it only work with zone 1?

Good morning everybody :)

I am a truly satisfied owner of a Casio px5s. For the first time since I've bought it, now I would like to use its phrase recorder. My aim is to record a simple phrase with a pad sound, so that I can use it as a loop and starting an improvisation with another instrument (from another keyboard).

Well, I saw one of the providential Mike Martin's clinic where Mike explained how to do that, in fact I think I understood the theory.
My problem is, if I do the same with a wonderful pad (such as, let's say, "Rainy dayz"- a Stage setting with two zone active -the first is a pad, the second a simple base with arpeggio) the phrase recorder will rec only zone 1 (the pad part) leaving me without the arpeggio part, and I found no way to record zone 2.
Is it possible to rec it concurrently with zone 1? If not, how can I overdubt it in a second moment?
In a sentence, my problem is that I am able to use phrase recorder only with zone 1.

Many thanks tho everyone who'll help me and sorry for my english if I did some mistakes.

Hi!

 

As I was struggling myself on this one too, I used to set my PhraseToBe-Tone to Zone 1 and recorded it accordingly. As Drums go solely to Zone 1 this also makes sense in some way, as you usually want backing percussion to play along with. I like to record several phrases and mix them together in the Songsequencer which gives me more control on the arrangement.

 

Here is a sample of Sting - Shape Of My Heart done in this way.

It consists of five phrases recorded separately which were saved in Slots 108 to 112.

108:ShapeOfMyHt (Drums)

109: ShapeGuit1

110: ShapeGuit2

111: ShapeBass

112: ShapeBass2

 

Maybe it serves as a sample to do other stuff.

 

Have fun!

 

PS: Hum, I think I need to post another question on why the audiorecorder don't work properly with a Song played back like this. There is a glitch at the beginning of the WAV-file.
