After the last flash, the [REC] piston lights steadily and recording starts. 4. Start playing. Feel free to select different sounds and sections while recording. All changes will be performed when you play back your recording. Additional Convenient Functionality Additional Convenient Functionality To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song, proceed as follows: 1. Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] piston (it lights) to start playback. To temporarily stop playback, press [PLAY/PAUSE] again (the piston flashes). Press it again to resume play- back from where you halted it. 2. Press the [STOP] piston to stop playback and return to the beginning of your song. The [PLAY/PAUSE] piston goes dark. The recorded song data are transmitted to the C-200’s MIDI Out port. Saving your song to an optional USB memory At first, the C-200 uses a temporary memory for the data you record. That memory is erased when you redo your recording, load another song or when you switch off the C-200. Therefore, you need to save recordings you want to keep and play back at a later stage. To this end, the C-200 provides a USB Memory port located on the rear panel. The C-200 allows you to save up to 99 songs to an optional USB memory. 1. Insert the optional USB memory into the C-200’s USB Memory port. Carefully insert the USB memory all the way into the port until it is firmly in place. 2. Hold down the [REC] piston until the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab starts flashing. 3. Enter a number between “01” and “99” using the PEDAL and MANUAL I tilt tabs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 See the numbers on the tilt tabs. (The [USER/ORCH] (“10”) tilt tab is used to enter the number “0”.) Example: To enter “01”, press the [USER/ORCH] and [SUBBASS] tilt tabs. The [USER/ORCH] (“10”) and [SUBBASS] (“1”) tilt tabs flash sequentially to indicate that you have entered the value “01”. To enter “39”, press [USER/ORCH] (“3”) and [TRUMPET] (“9”) in that order. The [USER/ORCH] (“3”) and [TRUMPET] (“9”) tilt tabs flash sequentially. A similar flashing pattern is also used for any other number you select here. The C-200 uses the number you selected as file name to save your song to the optional USB memory. Never remove a USB memory while the C-200’s power is on. Doing so may corrupt the C-200’s data or the data on the USB memory. 4. Press the lower part of the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab to save your recording. The C-200 saves the song, and the tilt tabs of the last con- figuration you have been using light. The song is saved to the “C200/SONG” folder on the USB memory. If that folder does not yet exist, it will be created automatically.

[PLAY/PAUSE], and [REC] pistons start flashing. You can overwrite the “old” song on your USB memory by pressing [STILL GEDACKT 8] again. To select a different number, enter it using the PEDAL and MANUAL I tilt tabs and press [STILL GEDACKT 8] again. Playing back songs on an optional USB memory Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We cannot guarantee operation if any other USB memory is used. You can play back the songs stored on an optional USB memory connected to the C-200. Given the possibility to work with external USB memories, you might be tempted to copy Standard MIDI Files to that device (using your computer, for instance) and play them back using the C-200. The C-200 does not conform to the GS standard or General MIDI format. Songs not specifically prepared with/for the C-200 may therefore use the wrong sounds. 1. While holding down the [Function] piston, press the [STOP/Song] tilt tab until the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab starts flashing. You can also simply hold down the [PLAY/PAUSE] pis- ton until the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab starts flashing. 2.Enter a number between “01” and “99” using the PEDAL and MANUAL I tilt tabs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 See the numbers on the tilt tabs.

Press the lower part of the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab to confirm your selection. The song you selected is loaded, and the tilt tabs of the configuration used in that song light up. 4. 5. 6. If you select a song number that doesn’t exist on the USB memory, [STOP], [PLAY/PAUSE], and [REC] start flashing. In that case, enter a different number and repeat step (3) above.
