Using the Memory
This section describes how to record keyboard play to
memory and playback data from memory.
About the Memory
Memory Capacity
Memory can hold up to 2,500 notes (one song).
• Recording stops automatically and the indicator above the
RECORD button goes out whenever memory becomes full.
Recorded Data
The following is a list of the data that can be recorded in
memory once recording starts.
• Anything you played on the keyboard (Received MIDI data
is not recorded.)
• Tone settings and any tone setting changes
• Beat setting used during recording
• Pedal operations
Recorded Data Storage
This digital piano has a lithium battery to supply power to
retain memory contents even while power is off.* The life of
the lithium battery is five years after the date of manufacture
of the digital piano. Be sure to contact your CASIO Service
Provider about having the lithium battery replaced every five
years.
* Never turn off the digital piano power while a record
operation is in progress.
IMPORTANT!
• Recording new data to a song memory area automatically
deletes any data previously stored in that song memory
area.
• Turning off power while a record operation is in progress
deletes anything recorded up to that point.
• CASIO shall not be held responsible for any losses by you
or any third party due to loss of data caused by malfunction
or repair of this digital piano, or by battery replacement.
