Recording and Playback

You can record notes you play with the Digital Piano’s 
MIDI recorder for later playback.

Tracks

A track is a container of recorded data, and a song 
consists of two tracks: Track 1 and Track 2. You can 
record each track separately and then combine them so 
they play back together as a single song.

Memory Capacity

You can record approximately 5,000 notes in Digital 
Piano memory.

The 

MIDI REC

 button lamp will flash at high speed 

when memory runs low.

Recording stops automatically if the number of 
notes in memory exceeds the maximum.

Recording Data Storage

Starting a new recording deletes any data that was

Should power fail during recording, all of the data in 
the track you are recording will be deleted.

IMPORTANT!

• CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. takes no 

responsibility for any damages, lost profits, or claims 
by third parties arising from the deletion of recorded

recording options in the sequence shown below.

After recording to either of the tracks of a song, you can
