The YDP-88

recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard and
then play it back. This is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it
lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also
be just plain fun.

●
Notes played
●
Voice selection
●
Dual mode voices
●
Dual balance
●
Dual mode octave shift
●
Damper pedal
●
Soft pedal
●
Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting)
●
Tempo (Initial setting only.)
