RECORDER
4. RECORDER
The RECORDER function records performances in a similar way to that of a tape recorder. However, the
CN21 piano records songs as digital data, instead of audio data - storing the music inside the instrument, and
providing a useful tool for both practicing and playing the piano.
1) RECORDING A SONG
Step 1
Press the REC button.
The LED indicator for the REC button will start to fl ash, indicating
that the piano is in recording standby mode.
Step 2
Start to play the piano.
The recorder will automatically start recording with the fi rst note
played.
During this time, the LED indicators for the REC and PLAY/STOP
buttons will be turned on.
„ The recording can also be started by pressing the PLAY/STOP button instead of pressing a key, allowing a blank bar
to be inserted at the beginning of a song.
Step 3
Press the PLAY/STOP button to stop recording.
The CN21 piano will stop recording and the LED indicator for
the REC button will fl ash momentarily while the song is saved to
memory.
„ The total recording capacity of the CN21 piano’s memory is approximately 7,500 notes, with pedal presses also
counted as one note. When the maximum capacity is reached, recording will stop and all music recorded up until that
point will be saved to memory automatically.
„ To record the piece again, simply repeat the above procedure. The new recording will completely erase the previous
one.
