Recording a Song

The CP has built-in recording capabilities that allow you to record
and play back your performances. Since the CP records your
performances as digital data, not audio data, you can easily edit
your performances after recording them. There are two ways to
use the CP's recording feature:
Easy Recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder and
is just as easy to use. The CP will record all of your playing as well
as any changes you make to the front panel settings during the
recording.
Advanced Recorder is useful for creating more complex recordings.
Advanced Recorder gives you the ability to record on up to 16

Easy Recording

The Easy Recorder will record all of your playing as well as any settings you have made on the
front panel or in the mixer screen at the touch of a button. Simply press the REC button and the CP
will begin recording from the first note you play. You can also record a Style along with your
playing if you like. Before you begin recording its a good idea to select your desired sound(s) and
make any panel settings you would like to record.
To record:
1) Press the REC button. The REC button LED will blink and the LCD screen will show
Rec Ready. If you want to, you can still change sounds or panel settings before
proceeding.
2) Start recording in one of the following ways:
A. Play the keys and the CP will automatically start recording from the first note you play.
B. If you are recording with a Style, press the START/STOP button to start the recorder
with the Style. Pressing the INTRO/ENDING button will include an Intro phrase at the
beginning of the recording.
C. You can also press the SYNC button to begin recording the Style and your own
playing together.
D. Press the PLAY/STOP button to start with a 2-bar countdown to help you get ready.
3) When you are finished recording, press the PLAY/STOP button.
You may resume recording from the point where you stopped by repeating these steps
from step 2.
independent tracks separately. In addition, with Advanced
Recorder you can edit your recorded data one measure or even
one note at a time. There is also a step recording mode in which
you can enter notes or other MIDI data events one step at a time
for even more accurate control.
Song data created on other instruments in the Standard MIDI File
format (SMF) can also be loaded into the CP's recorder to be played
or edited. The CP's recorder can read both Type 1 and 0 SMF files.
