Saving Recorded Songs to the CP300’s Storage Memory—Save To Memory
This allows you to save recorded Songs to the CP300’s storage memory. Keep in mind that when you turn off
the power to the CP300, your recorded Song data will be lost. To permanently save the recorded Song, you
must save it to the CP300’s storage memory.
The Save To Memory operation is not available for Preset Songs.
For basic operation instructions, refer to page 81.
The following steps are detailed instructions for Step 4 (in the Basic Operation above).
4-1 Name the Song.
To move the cursor (small underline), use the C [–][+] buttons.
To insert a space, press the C [–][+] buttons simultaneously.
To select a character on the cursor, use the D [–][+] buttons.
To delete a character, press the D [–][+] buttons simultaneously.
You can use up to 58 characters for a Song name. If the name is longer than the display, use the C [–][+]
buttons to move the cursor and scroll through the name.
You can change the type of characters on the display using the “Character Code” parameter (page 84).
4-2 Press the B [– (NO)][+ (YES)] button to execute the job.
Press the B [+ (YES)] button to display the confirmation prompt (“Sure?”).
To proceed, press the B [+ (YES)] button again. An “Executing” message appears and the data is saved.
When the operation is complete, a “Completed” message appears briefly, then returns to the previous
display.
To cancel the operation, press the B [– (NO)] button instead of the B [+ (YES)] button.
Never attempt to turn the [POWER] switch OFF while the “Executing” message is shown in the display. Turning
the power off in this state may cause the recorded Song to be deleted.
The Song is automatically numbered as “Mxx,” where “M” stands for “Memory” and “xx” is a number.
If storage memory contains one or more Songs, and you save a new Song, the CP300 automatically sorts the
Songs alphabetically and renumbers them.
