Additional Convenient Functionality <Advanced Operation>
The C-200 contains a “Song Recorder” function you can use to record your own performances that you can save (and play back)
as many songs as the optional USB memory device connected to the USB Memory port will hold, for a maximum of 99 songs.
The recorder not only memorizes the notes you play, but also the sounds you use (organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, piano, etc.).
1.
Select the sound(s) you want to use for your recording.
See p. 21 and following for details.
The C-200 has only one internal song memory. If you
already recorded another song since switching on the
C-200, that song will be erased without warning when
you perform the next step. To keep that song, you need
to save it before continuing. See “Saving your song to an
optional USB memory” on p. 35. Also note that your last
recording (in the temporary memory) is erased when
you switch off the C-200.
2.
Press the [REC] piston (it flashes red).
Press the [STOP] piston if decide not to record.
3.
You can now activate the recording in 2 ways:
• By pressing a key on the keyboard: The [PLAY/PAUSE]
and [REC] pistons light and the recording will begin
immediately.
• By pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] piston: The [PLAY/
PAUSE] piston lights. The [REC] piston continues to flash
during four beats (count-in). After the last flash, the
[REC] piston lights steadily and recording starts.
4.
Start playing.
Feel free to select different sounds and sections while
recording. All changes will be performed when you play
back your recording.
While the C-200 is recording, it is impossible to assign
different voices to the PEDAL, MANUAL I or
MANUAL II tilt tabs (Voice Palette).
5.
Press the [STOP] piston to stop recording and return to
the beginning of the song.
The [PLAY/PAUSE] and [REC] pistons go dark.
The C-200 now processes your recording, which may
take a few seconds.
Once the memory has become full, recording stops auto-
matically.
Your recording is erased when you switch off the C-200
or load another song. You can, however, save it to an
optional USB memory (see p. 35).
