Song Recorder; Recording A Song - Kawai ES6 Owner's Manual

3. SONG RECORDER

The ES6 digital piano allows up to 4 different songs to be recorded, stored in memory, and played back at the
touch of a button. Each song has two separate tracks called 'parts' that can be recorded independently. For
example, this allows the left-hand part to be recorded fi rst on one track, then the right-hand part to be recorded
later on the other track, while listening to the fi rst part.
In addition, it is also possible to record songs while using the Rhythm Section accompaniment.
When recording or playing back a song, each part can be re-recorded or played back freely. Attempting
to re-record a part will automatically erase all previously recorded performance information for that part,
therefore when recording parts separately, it is important to select the correct part carefully, in order to prevent
accidentally overwriting a previously recorded part.
