Recording an MP3/WAV audio file
The CA59 digital 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.
