RECORDING CAPACITY

The total recording capacity is about 15,000 notes. Pressing any buttons or pedals is counted as one note.

When the recorder reaches it’s maximum capacity, the CA piano will stop recording at that point.

RECORDER AND METRONOME

When playing back a song with the metronome turned on, the metronome always restarts with the down beat.

3.1RECORDING (REC BUTTON)

The REC button is used for recording.

Press the REC button when you are ready to record. The LED indicator will start flashing telling you that the piano is ready to record.

Now play some music on the piano. The recorder will automatically start recording with the first note you play.

Press the PLAY/STOP button when you are finished recording. The piano will stop recording and save your song to memory.

Saving to memory may take a few moments and during this time the piano will not perform any other operations.

You can start recording by pressing the PLAY/STOP button instead of pressing a key. In this way, you can insert a blank bar at the beginning of the song.

If you make a mistake, you can record your piece again. Just repeat the same procedure. The second recording will completely erase the first one.

RECORDING ANOTHER SONG

The CA piano is capable of recording and storing up to five different songs.

Let’s try recording a second song.

If you followed the procedure in the previous section you have already recorded Song 1, so now let’s record Song 2.
