Using the Memory
This section describes how to record keyboard play to memory and playback data from memory.
About the Memory
Memory Capacity
•There are two song memory tracks named Track A and Track B. The two tracks can store a combined total of approximately 5,200 notes.
•The indicator lamp of the track you are recording to flashes at high speed to let you know that remaining memory capacity is running low.
•Recording stops automatically whenever memory becomes full.
Recorded Data
•Anything you played on the keyboard (received MIDI data not recorded)
•Tone settings
•Tempo and beat settings used during recording
•Pedal operations
•Reverb settings
•Chorus settings
Recorded Data Storage
This digital piano has a lithium battery to supply power to retain memory contents even while power is off.* The life of the lithium battery is five years after the date of manufacture of the digital piano. Be sure to contact your CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced every five years.
*Never turn off digital piano power while a record operation is in progress.
IMPORTANT!
•If the data recorded in a single track uses up all the available Song Memory capacity, you will not be able to record anything in the other track.
•Recording new data to a track automatically deletes any data previously stored in that track.
•Turning off power while a record operation is in progress deletes anything recorded up to that point.
•CASIO shall not be held responsible for any losses by you or any third party due to loss of data caused by malfunction or repair of this digital piano, or by battery replacement.
Recording
In addition to recording notes as they are played on the keyboard, you can also record to one track while playing back from the other track. The following procedures cover each of these operations.
