3 RECORDER SONG

The EP3 digital piano allows up to three different songs to be recorded, stored in memory, and played back at the touch of a button. Each song has two separate tracks called ‘parts’ that can be recorded independently. For example, this allows the left-hand part to be recorded first on one track, then the right-hand part to be recorded later on the other track, while listening to the first part.

When recording or playing back a song, each part can be re-recorded or played back freely. Attempting to re-record a part will automatically erase all previously recorded performance information for that part, therefore when recording parts separately, it is important to select the correct part carefully, in order to prevent accidentally overwriting a previously recorded part.
