Audio Record/Playback (USB memory)

The CA93/CA63 digital piano is also capable of playing MP3 and WAV audio files stored on a USB memory device directly through the instrument’s speaker system. This function is particularly useful when attempting to learn the chords or melody to a new piece, or to simply play along with one’s favorite song.
