Recording/playing back a
performance
The recorder of the C1/C1 Air allows you to easily record and
play back keyboard performances. This is called a user song.
There is one user song, has two parts. You can separately
record the right- and left-hand parts of a song, then play
back the two parts at the same time.
If you record to a part where data has already been recorded,
the previous performance data will be deleted and overwrit-
ten with the new data. Therefore, before recording to a part,
be sure it does not contain any data that you wish to save.
In addition, you can check each part according to the light-
ing status of its button.
