How to Record Music on a Casio Keyboard

Casio is among the most popular keyboard manufacturers and has produced hundreds of different keyboard models over the past several decades. Many Casio keyboards come with a "Record" button to allow users to record themselves as they play music on the keyboard. During a performance, the keyboard recorder will act like a tape recorder, or sequencer, and save the performance to the specified track in the keyboard's song memory drive. However, the song memory has a limited capacity. For example, the Casio Privia PX 300 will allow you to record up to 5,200 keyboard notes.
