Basic Operation
Recording Your Performance
This chapter explains how to record your performance using the CP300’s versatile recording features. For example, you can
record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Since the
CP300 lets you record up to sixteen tracks separately, you can build up a complete, multi-instrument Song by recording each
part one-by-one.
About the Recording Features of the CP300
Unlike conventional audio recording (such as to an MD recorder or cassette tape recorder), the CP300 records
your keyboard playing as performance data. In other words, while an MD records the actual sounds, the
CP300 records the physical “moves” and settings that create the sound—including which notes are played, the
timing they were played with, the Voice(s) used, and the tempo value. This type of recording has the advantage
of allowing you greater editing flexibility and smaller data size.
n If you want to record the sounds of your performance as audio data, you can do so by connecting an MD recorder
or other recording device to the [OUTPUT] connector (page 88).
Song
On the CP300, performance data is called a “Song.” This includes demonstration tunes and preset tunes.
