KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4

Recorder

The CN piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder,

and it is just as easy to use. The CN piano records a song as digital data

instead of audio data and stores the song inside the instrument. Because

the song is stored as digital information you can modify the song when

you play it back. You can, for example, adjust the tempo without changing

the pitch or use a different effect setting from one you have recorded.

Once you understand the recorder, you will find it to be a useful tool for

both practicing and playing the piano.

ASICS

THE

ECORDER

Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.

TWO-TRACK THREE-SONG RECORDER

The CN piano’s recorder is a 2-track 3-song recorder. This means you

can record up to three different songs, store them in memory, and play

them back as you like.

Each song has two separate tracks called “Parts” that can be recorded

separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on

one track, then record the right hand part next on the other track while

listening to the first track.

When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)

of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are

recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous

recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when

recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to

select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording

over the first part of the song.

RECORDED INFORMATION

The CN piano records the following:

Note information

Sound selection

Pedal movements

Balance settings

Set the dual/split balance as desired before you

start recording. The balance setting and the

balance changes made during the recording will

be recorded.

Transpose . . . . . .

When you record in a different key using the

transpose function, the CN piano will record the

actual transposed notes you hear, not the notes

as you play with the keyboard.
