Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.
TWO-TRACK FIVE-SONG RECORDER
The CN piano’s recorder is a
2-track 5-song recorder
. This means you
can record up to five different songs, store them in memory, and play
them back as you like.
Each song has two separate tracks called “
Parts
” that can be recorded
separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on
one track, then record the right hand on the other track while listening to
the first track.
When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)
of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are
recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous
recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when
recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to
select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording
over the first part of the song.
RECORDED INFORMATION
The CN piano records the following information.
Note information
Sound selection
Dual settings . .
Set the dual balance as desired before you start
recording. Balance settings made before you start
recording will be used by the recorder. Any
changes made during the recording will be ignored
by the recorder.
Transpose . . . . .
When you record in a different key using the
transpose function, the CN piano will record the
actual transposed notes you hear, not the notes
you played on the keyboard.
RECORDING CAPACITY
The total recording capacity is about 10,000 notes. Pressing any buttons
or pedals is counted as one note.
When the recorder reaches it’s maximum capacity, the CN piano will stop
recording at that point.
RECORDER AND METRONOME
When playing back a song with the metronome turned on, the metronome
always restarts with the down beat.
