Using The Midi Recorder To Record - Casio CT-X5000 User Manual

Using the MIDI Recorder to
Record
You can use the MIDI recorder for real-time recording of your
Digital Keyboard play.
• You can record up to 10 songs in Digital Keyboard memory.
Recorded content is saved in Song Bank song numbers 31
to 40 (user songs).
• One song can have up to 999 measures, or a total of
approximately 40,000 notes in all of its tracks. Recording
stops automatically when either of these limits is reached.
• You can play along with a recorded song on the keyboard.
• CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. takes no responsibility
for any damages, lost profits, or claims by third parties
arising from the deletion of recorded data due to
malfunction, repair, or for any other reason.
■ MIDI Recorder
Keyboard performance information is recorded as MIDI data*
to a system track or 16 solo tracks (storage areas for
keyboard performance data) in Digital Keyboard memory.
• Keyboard performance information (keyboard keys press/
release, touch pressure, etc.) is recorded as MIDI data.
• The size of MIDI data is much smaller when compared with
audio data, making it easier to edit later on a computer, etc.
• The MIDI recorder sounds the Digital Keyboard's sound
source based on recorded MIDI data.
* MIDI
MIDI is short for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface". It is a
universal standard that makes it possible for musical
instruments, computers, and other devices to exchange
performance information (keyboard key press/release, touch
pressure, etc.) regardless of manufacturer. Performance data
in this case is called "MIDI data".
