Using USB Memor
y
Recording MP3/WAV Audio
The CP’s Record Audio function allows you to create digital audio files from your performances in just a few steps.
The recordings are saved to USB memory in either MP3 or WAV format, allowing them to be emailed to friends
and family, or played back on other devices such as an iPod.
This function will also record line-in and microphone audio, as well as MIDI songs, or songs played from CD. It
is even possible to record audio while playing back MP3/WAV audio files, or a combination of sources, allowing
material to be over-dubbed and remixed directly - all from the CP instrument.
