At some point you may want to erase a song.  If you have filled up the

memory of the recorder you can erase an old song to make room for a

new one or maybe you’re tired of listening to a particular song.  In either

case, the CN piano provides an easy way to erase one or all of the songs

and parts.

To erase a specific song and part, first hold down both the REC

and PLAY/STOP buttons.

  The LED indicators will display which songs

have been recorded.  

Select the desired song and part to erase by

pressing the appropriate SOUND SELECT buttons while continuing

to hold down both the REC and the PLAY/STOP buttons.

    On

releasing both the REC and PLAY/STOP buttons, the CN piano will erase

from memory the song and part you have chosen.

The LED indicator for the erased song or Part will be turned off indicating

there is no longer anything recorded there.

ERASING ALL DATA

To erase everything, all songs and parts at once, first turn the

power off and then turn it back on again while holding down both

the REC and PLAY/STOP buttons.

  The entire memory of the recorder

will be erased.

The CN piano’s built-in recorder is easy to use and is perfect for practice

and basic recording needs.  For those individuals interested in using this

instrument for more complex digital recordings, the CN piano can be

connected to an external MIDI sequencer or a personal computer.  Please

read chapter 

3. Using MIDI

 to learn about the CN piano’s MIDI and Multi-

timbral capabilities.

In this chapter, you will learn how you can create music by connecting

the CN piano to an external MIDI device.

The CN piano is compatible with MIDI devices from Kawai and other

manufacturers.  It can also be used with sequencing software on a personal

computer.
