22 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CE200
Recorder
The CE200 piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape
recorder, and it is just as easy to use. The CE200 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 THREE-SONG RECORDER
The CE200 piano’s recorder is a 2-track 3-song recorder. This means
you can record up to three 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 CE200 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 CE200 piano will record
the actual transposed notes you hear, not the
notes as you play with the keyboard.
