4. RECORDER

The RECORDER function records performances in a similar way to that of a tape recorder. However, the CN41 piano records songs as digital data, instead of audio data - storing the music inside the instrument. Because each song is stored digitally, it is possible to modify various aspects during playback, such as adjusting the tempo without changing the pitch, or selecting different sound types and effects settings. Once fully understood, the recorder function provides an easy to use tool for both practicing and playing the piano.

1) RECORDING (REC BUTTON)

4 RECORDER

The CN41 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. This allows the left-hand part to be recorded fi rst on one track, then the right-hand part to be recorded later on the other track, while listening to the fi rst part.

When recording or playing back a song, each part (track) 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 most important to select the correct part carefully, in order to prevent accidentally overwriting a previously recorded part.
