Using the Memory

This section describes how to record keyboard play to memory and playback data from memory.

About the Memory

Memory Capacity

Memory can hold up to 2,500 notes (one song).

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 memory once recording starts.

Anything you played on the keyboard (Received MIDI data is not recorded.)

Tone settings and any tone setting changes

Beat setting used during recording

Pedal operations

Recorded Data Storage

This 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 piano. Be sure to contact your CASIO dealer about having the lithium battery replaced every five years.

*Never turn off the digital piano power while a record operation is in progress.

IMPORTANT!

Recording new data to a song memory area automatically deletes any data previously stored in that song memory area.

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 piano, or by battery replacement.

PREPARATION

Select the tone and effects you want to start with.

If you want to use the metronome during recording, start the metronome. Use the procedure under “Using the Metronome” on page E-14 to set the beat and the tempo.

1Press the RECORD button to put the piano into record standby.

The indicator above the RECORD button flashes.

You can also change the metronome’s beat setting at this time.

If you want the metronome to sound while you are recording, press the METRONOME button here to start the metronome.

2Play something on the keyboard to start recording.

When you start recording, the indicator above the RECORD button stops flashing and remains lit.

What you play sounds from the speakers and is recorded into memory.

You can also start recording by pressing the START/ STOP button. In this case, blank space is inserted in memory from the point that you press the START/ STOP button up to the point you start to play on the keyboard.

3After you are finished recording, press the START/ STOP button to stop the record operation.

At this time the indicator above the RECORD button goes out.

To stop the metronome, press the METRONOME button.

Here you can press the START/STOP button and playback the data you just recorded.
