Recorder; Recording A Song - Kawai CL36 Owner's Manual

4. RECORDER

The RECORDER function records performances in a similar way to that of a tape recorder. However, the CL36
digital piano records songs as digital data, instead of audio data - storing the music inside the instrument, and
providing a useful tool for both practicing and playing the piano.
The CL36 digital piano allows up to three different recorder songs to be stored in memory.

1) RECORDING A SONG

 Step 1
Press the REC button.
The LED indicator for the REC button will start to fl ash, indicating that the piano is in
recording standby mode.
 Step 2
Start to play the piano.
The recorder will automatically start recording with the fi rst note
played.
During this time, the LED indicators for the REC and PLAY/STOP
buttons will be turned on.

'up beat' to be inserted at the beginning of a song.
 Step 3
Press the PLAY/STOP button to stop recording.
The CL36 digital piano will stop recording and all LED indicators will turn off while
the song is saved to memory.
 Do not turn the power off while the song is saving to memory.
 The total recording capacity of the CL36 digital piano's memory is approximately 15,000 notes (3 songs total), with pedal
presses also counted as one note. When the maximum capacity is reached, recording will stop and all music recorded
up until that point will be saved to memory automatically.

recording.
