Data recorded in track

•Since each track is independent of the other, you can edit a recording by re-recording only one of the tracks.

You can determine the current status of each part/track by checking indicator lamps above the TRACK button.

●During Playback Standby

Each press of the TRACK button toggles Left-hand part/Track 1 and Right-hand part/Track 2 between playback and non- playback.

Song Memory Capacity

Song Memory can hold a total of approximately 5,300 notes, which can be divided between a song recording and a free recording. Note that you can use all 5,300 notes for a single recording, if you want. If you do, you will not be able to store a second recording.

•Recording will stop automatically if Song Memory becomes full. If you are using Auto Accompaniment or a rhythm, they will also stop playing at this time.

Recorded Data Storage

•Starting a new recording deletes any data that was previously recorded in memory.

•Should power fail during recording, all of the data in the track you are recording will be deleted.

•A built-in lithium battery supplies the power required to retain digital piano memory contents when power is turned off. Should the lithium battery go dead, memory contents will be lost whenever you turn off digital piano power. For more information, see “Memory Protection” on page A-7.
