Recording A Phrase - Casio CT-X5000 User Manual

Recording a Phrase

A phrase is created by recording notes played manually on
the keyboard. Up to 16 measures can be specified for the
length of the phrase to be recorded, and up to approximately
1,000 notes can be recorded. As with playback, recording
also loops back to the first measure when the end of the
number of measures specified for the phrase is reached. You
can add notes while listening to playback of previously
recorded content.
• The [RECORD] indicator will start to flash during recording
when the number of remaining note count is 100 or lower.
When there are no more remaining notes, recording stops
automatically and the [RECORD] indicator disappears.
