The Mark IIXG and Mark III systems had a built-in function for multi-track recording. The DKC-850 does not have this feature. The DKC-850 does, however, support the playback of multitrack MIDI files as well as multitrack MIDI data that is received from an external source, such as from a computer or InternetRadio.
I have never thought of the lack of built-in, multitrack recording to be an issue because multitrack recording is so much easier to accomplish using your Disklavier with a sequencer that runs on a computer. I can understand, however, that there are Disklavier owners who may wish that feature was available on the DKC-850.

Why is the new one not so good for multitracking?
