The
CX5M
has
a built-in
memory
feature
which
allows
you
to record
and playback keyboard performances without
the use of
a cassette recorder.
This
is
particularly useful for practice
on keyboard
technique,
"'instant
replays"
when
trying
out
new
phrases
and
compositions,
and auto
accompaniment
(playback of recorded
performances can be
accompanied by
real-time
keyboard
play).
Further, since
only
performance
data
is
recorded;
voices,
key,
etc.
can be
changed
during playback. This
feature
is
accessed
from
the Balance block,
on
the
REC/PLA
line.
Recording
Make
sure that
the item
REC/PLA
is
set
to
REC.
Press
the
SELECT
key
to
initiate
recording
(as
indicated
on
the
menu
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen),
which
begins
as
soon
as this
key
is
pressed. Press
the
STOP
key
to
end
recording.
These
options
are
also
displayed
in
the
bottom
left
hand
portion of the
screen,
and
the current
status
(REC
or
PLA)
is
displayed
directly
under
the
Rhythm
block
on
the display screen.
Press
the
STOP
key
to
end
recording.
NOTE:
The amount
of
memory
available for
recording
is
determined not by
time,
but by
the actual
number
of notes played.
The
CX5M
has
a
capacity
of
about
2000
notes.
If
this limit
is
reached during
actual recording,
the recording
will
end
at
that
point automatically.
The
automatic
bass
line
and/or
rhythm accompaniment
is
not
recorded,
and must
be
manually
selected
to
accompany
playback.
Playback
To
play
back
the recorded
material,
select
the
PLA
option with
the cursor keys
and
press
the
SELECT
key.
Changing
the
voice (with the
POLY
or
MONO
voice functions)
and key
(with the
TRANSPOSE
function)
is
possible prior to
and
during
playback.
NOTE:
When
accompanying
a
recorded
performance
with
"live"
keyboard
playing,
the section of the
keyboard
reserved for
a
mono
voice
will
not
play over
the recorded performance.
