The AnyTimeX2 piano is also capable of recording performances as digital audio - saving the data to a USB memory
device in either MP3 or WAV format. This useful function allows professional quality recordings to be produced
directly on the instrument - without the need for additional sound equipment - then emailed to friends and family,
listened to away from the instrument, or edited and remixed further using an audio workstation.
In addition, the AnyTimeX2 piano also supports mixing the LINE IN audio source with the recorded MP3/WAV fi le.
