Recording your performance
You can record what you play on your C-190 and
then play it back whenever you like. There are four
song memories that can be selected using the [1]~[4]
buttons.
The Recorder not only memorizes the notes you play,
but also the sounds you use.
Recording
(1) Hold down the [REC] button (it starts flashing)
while pressing a [1]~[4] button to select the song
memory.
Be sure to select a memory whose button doesn’t
light while you are holding down the [REC] button.
Otherwise, you erase the recording contained in that
memory.
(2) Release the [REC] button (it keeps flashing).
(3) Press the [PLAY] button to start recording.
(4) Start playing.
(5) Press [PLAY] again (or [REC]) to stop recording.
Note: The C-190 now processes your recording, which may
take 2~3 seconds. While the data are being stored, the key-
board doesn’t respond to your playing.
Playing back a recorded song
To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song,
proceed as follows:
(1) Press and hold the [PLAY] button while pressing a
[1]~[4] button to select a song memory.
Be sure to select a memory whose button lights,
which indicates that the memory in question con-
tains data.
(2) Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.
Note: The recorded song data are not transmitted to the
C-190’s MIDI OUT port.
Using the audio outputs
The C-190 comes with two audio outputs that may
come in handy for two things:
• When you need to perform in a large venue and fear
that the C-190’s on-board amplification system is
not powerful enough, or when you are asked to con-
nect the C-190 directly to the PA system;
• To record your playing (either with or without
Recorder backing) to cassette, MD, etc.
To do so, connect the C-190 as follows:
If the external device is mono, use only the OUTPUT L/
MONO socket.
Note: Connecting jacks to the outputs does not switch off the
internal amplification system.
