Casio LK-50 Memory Function - Manual

E-25
Memory Function
You can store up to two separate songs in memory for later playback.
There are two methods you can use to record a song: real-time re-
cording where you record the notes as you play them on the key-
board, and step recording where you input chords and notes one-by-
one.
Tracks
The memory of this keyboard records and plays back notes much
like a standard tape recorder. There are two tracks, each of which can
be recorded separately. Besides notes, each track can be assigned its
own tone number. During playback you can adjust the tempo to
change the speed of playback.
❚ NOTES ❚
• Track 1 is the basic track, which can be used to record Auto Accompa-
niment along with the melody. Track 2 can be used for melody only, and
is for adding to what is recorded in Track 1.
• Note that each track is independent of the other. This means that if you
make a mistake while recording, you need to re-record only the track
where the mistake was made.
