Audio Record/Playback (USB memory)
The CA93/CA63 digital piano is also capable of recording performances as digital audio - saving the data to a
USB memory device in either MP3 or WAV format. This useful function allows professional quality recordings
to be produced directly on the instrument - without the need for additional sound equipment - then emailed to
friends and family, played back through an iPod, or edited and remixed further using an audio workstation.
