12 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA-X
Recorder
The CA piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder,
and it is just as easy to use. The CA piano records a song as digital data
instead of audio data and stores the song inside the instrument. Because
the song is stored as digital information you can modify the song when
you play it back. You can, for example, adjust the tempo without changing
the pitch or use a different effect setting from one you have recorded.
Once you understand the recorder, you will find it to be a useful tool for
both practicing and playing the piano.

Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.
TWO-TRACK FIVE-SONG RECORDER
The CA piano’s recorder is a 2-track 5-song recorder. This means you
can record up to five different songs, store them in memory, and play
them back as you like.
Each song has two separate tracks called “Parts” that can be recorded
separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on
one track, then record the right hand part next on the other track while
listening to the first track.
When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)
of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are
recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous
recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when
recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to
select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording
over the first part of the song.
RECORDED INFORMATION
The CA piano records the following:
Note information
Sound selection
Pedal movements
Balance settings Set the dual/split balance as desired before you
start recording. Balance settings made before
you start recording will be used by the recorder.
Any changes made during the recording will be
ignored by the recorder.
Transpose . . . . . . When you record in a different key using the
transpose function, the CA piano will record the
actual transposed notes you hear, not the notes
as you play with the keyboard.
