Using the Song Memory
This section describes how to record keyboard play to memory and playback data from song memory.
About the Song Memory
Song Memory Capacity
•There are two song memory tracks named Track A and Track B. The two tracks can store a combined total of approximately 8,000 notes.
•Recording stops automatically and the indicator above the RECORD button goes out whenever memory becomes full.
Recorded Data
The following is a list of the data that can be recorded in song memory once recording starts.
•Anything you played on the keyboard (received MIDI data not recorded)
•Tone settings (including layered tones, layered tone volume, split tones, split tone volume, split point) and any tone setting changes
•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 piano power while a record operation is in progress.
IMPORTANT!
•If the data recorded in a single track uses up all the avail- able 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. A lit track indicator means that the track already contains data.
•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.
