C-190 Portable Organ

You can record what you play on your C-190 and 
then play it back whenever you like. There are four 
song memories that can be selected using the [1]~[4] 
buttons. 

The Recorder not only memorizes the notes you play, 
but also the sounds you use.

(1) Hold down the [REC] button (it starts flashing) 

while pressing a [1]~[4] button to select the song 
memory.

Be sure to select a memory whose button doesn’t 
light while you are holding down the [REC] button. 
Otherwise, you erase the recording contained in that 
memory.

(2) Release the [REC] button (it keeps flashing).

(3) Press the [PLAY] button to start recording.

(4) Start playing.

(5) Press [PLAY] again (or [REC]) to stop recording.

Note: The C-190 now processes your recording, which may 
take 2~3 seconds. While the data are being stored, the key-
board doesn’t respond to your playing.

To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song, 
proceed as follows:

(1) Press and hold the [PLAY] button while pressing a 

[1]~[4] button to select a song memory.

Be sure to select a memory whose button lights, 
which indicates that the memory in question con-
tains data.

(2) Press [PLAY] again to stop playback.

Note: The recorded song data are not transmitted to the 
C-190’s MIDI OUT port.

• When you need to perform in a large venue and fear 

that the C-190’s on-board amplification system is 
not powerful enough, or when you are asked to con-
nect the C-190 directly to the PA system;

• To record your playing (either with or without 

Recorder backing) to cassette, MD, etc.

To do so, connect the C-190 as follows:

If the external device is mono, use only the OUTPUT L/
MONO socket.

Note: Connecting jacks to the outputs does not switch off the 
internal amplification system.
