3 RECORDER SONG

The EP3 digital piano allows up to three different songs to be recorded, stored in memory, and played back at the touch of a button. Each song has two separate tracks called ‘parts’ that can be recorded independently. For example, this allows the left-hand part to be recorded first on one track, then the right-hand part to be recorded later on the other track, while listening to the first part.

When recording or playing back a song, each part can be re-recorded or played back freely. Attempting to re-record a part will automatically erase all previously recorded performance information for that part, therefore when recording parts separately, it is important to select the correct part carefully, in order to prevent accidentally overwriting a previously recorded part.

While holding the REC button, the LED indicators for the PIANO and CLAVI/GUITAR buttons will start to flash, indicating that SONG1 and PART1 are selected for recording.

If no PART is selected PART1 will be selected automatically.

￿Step 2

Release the REC button.

The LED indicators for the selected PIANO and CLAVI/GUITAR buttons will stop flashing, and the LED indicator for the REC button will start to flash. This is the standby state for recording.

The LED indicator for the SOUND SELECTION button will also turn on, indicating that the sound to be used for recording can be changed.
