CD-2i Overview

The CD-2i combines advanced recording technologies with a well-designed operating

system, resulting in an easy-to-use device that produces professional recording results

with a minimum of technical knowledge or skill. CDs produced by the CD-2i can be

played on virtually any CD player.

Music Training Tools –(Music Tutor Features)

The CD-2i is designed for use by musicians and music educators. To support those

users the CD-2i features a complement of features for rehearsal and practice:

•TUNER

The CD-2 provides tuning support for instrumentalists in two different ways:

1. A chromatic tuner with automatic pitch identification. Just play the tuning

note . . . the CD-2i will identify the note’s pitch in the display and indicate

whether the note being played is sharp or flat.

2. Audible Tone Tuning. The CD-2i can generate tuning tones (default pitch

is A440) for reference in tuning acoustic instruments. Choose from 25

notes, and non-standard (other than A-440) tuning references are

possible as well.

•A/B REPEAT

This feature may be utilized for both CD AND SD playback. Ideal for student

practice, choral and instrumental rehearsals, and for transcription.

•METRONOME

The CD-2i features a built-in metronome with choice of three tones and a variety

of choices for beat emphasis (time signatures).

•FINE TUNING (Pitch)

Playback from CDs and SD card may be accurately adjusted to match the tuning

(pitch) of other instruments.

•KEY CHANGE (Pitch)

You may raise or lower the ‘key’ of CD and SD card playback as necessary.

•TEMPO CHANGE

You can play music from a CD or the SD card and change playback speed

without changing the pitch. Speed is adjustable from 50% to 125%.

•CENTER CANCEL

Center cancel eliminates, or greatly reduces, the vocalist or lead instrument

during playback of most CDs or SD music files.

Range of Applications

The CD-2i features built-in stereo microphones and speakers as well as additional inputs

for external microphones and a line level and phono level input. The CD-2i may be

connected to other instruments or amplification by use of its line output. This makes the

CD-2i a self-supporting unit that can be creatively utilized with any instrument, electronic

or acoustic (brass, wind, voice, percussion, etc.). Because of this comprehensive design

the CD-2i can be utilized in many ways:

2. Create practice CDs for choir, song leaders, and instrumentalists.

3. Make CDs from accompaniment tapes.

4. Record and play back performances at rehearsals for evaluation.

5. Play pre-recorded CDs and raise or lower the ‘key’ in real time.

6. Play pre-recorded CDs and slow the tempo for rehearsal of difficult

passages.

7. ‘Remove’ vocals from pre-recorded CDs.

Private and Group Teachers of ALL instruments and Classroom Music Teachers

can:

1. Create practice CDs for students.

2. Record recitals or other special programs direct to CD.

3. Make CDs from MIDI accompaniment disks.

4. Record and playback student performances during lessons for evaluation

or archiving.

5. ‘Remove’ vocals from any pre-recorded CD.

Recording

We could record directly to a CD/R1or a CD/RW2(refer to the Owner’s Manual

beginning at page 40 -“Recording Acoustic Instruments or Vocals”) but there are

advantages to recording to the Secure Digital (SD) memory first, then creating your CD

from the recording tracks you have made using the SD card. These advantages include:

1. The ability to erase and reuse SD memory.

2. You waste no CD/Rs.

3. After you have recorded on SD memory you can decide the performance

order in which you will place them on your final CD/R.

4. You can OVERDUB (as many as 99 times) on the SD memory card.

Refer to SECTION 1 of the orange Quick Start Card -“Record Your Performance”.

Make (burn) a CD from the Recording

Refer to PAGE 2 of the Quick Start Card -“Create a CD from the Recorded

Performance”.

Understanding the Simple Recording Possibilities

1. Microphones

a. Internal –Stereo Condenser Microphones

b. External Jacks

i. Unbalanced3inputs are located on the left side

ii. Balanced4input located on the left side with phantom power5

capability (XLR connector)

2. Metronome

Unleashing the Power of SD Recording –OVERDUBBING

1. Record the first part to SD memory, refer to the Quick Start card if necessary.

(Or the owner’s manual beginning on page 61.)

2. After you have the first part recorded . . .

3. On the top of the CD-2i, push the MENU button.

4. Use the right and left arrows to choose SD CARD –Overdub SD SD.

Push ENTER.

5. The CD-2i will enter RECORD STANDBY MODE and the RECORD & PLAY

BUTTONS will be flashing. The display should say SDXX SDXX (The SD

track number to the left is your original recording, the SD track number to the

right will be the new overdubbed recording.)

6. Press the PLAY button to begin recording; the CD-2i will also simultaneously

begin playback of the first part.

7. When recording of the second part is complete, touch STOP.

8. Touch PLAY to hear the new (overdubbed) recording.

Using OVERDUB to Create a Rehearsal CD.

1. Record the accompaniment part (it could be track one on the completed CD).

2. OVERDUB the desired part with voice or another instrument (it could be track

two on the completed CD). To help the new part ‘stand out’ you can reduce

the volume of the accompaniment part. To do this:

a. PUSH the PLAY button.

i. Use the RIGHT & LEFT BUTTONS by the MENU button and

the display will indicate SD/CD LEVEL: XX.

ii. You can use the -/+ buttons to change the playback level

(volume) from a range or -6 to +6.

b. PUSH STOP.

3. If you want to create additional rehearsal parts, use the << >> buttons

(located at the REW and FF buttons) on the top of the CD-2i to choose the

track with the original accompaniment recording. Then choose OVERDUB in

the display.

4a type of microphone hookup used to prevent hum in longer cables and typically ending in an

XLR connector

5Many better quality microphones require power from a battery or other source, the CD-2i can

provide this power thru the microphone cable

4. When complete, create a CD (you can use the QUICK START card, or begin

at page 97 of the Owner’s Manual). The tracks for the CD can be chosen in

any order from the SD card.

Performance Possibilities

The CD-2i offers an array of features for performance and rehearsal:

1. Change the KEY (in realtime) for both CD or SD performance.

2. Slow the TEMPO of a CD or SD performance.

3. Add A-B MARKERS for rehearsal (repeat a marked passage) for both CD

and SD performance.

Combining Performance and Recording Possibilities

The CD-2i offers the unique ability to play a performance from a CD while recording it

AND a new part created by you to the SD memory. You can:

1. Play a CD and record it with added parts to the SD memory. (Refer to the

Owner’s Manual beginning on page 61 “Layering Your Performance onto an

SD Card and Recording It”)

2. Play a CD (and remove the vocal or lead instrument with CENTER CANCEL)

while recording it to SD memory.

Other Possibilities

1. Hook up a cassette deck or turntable to the LINE INPUTS/PHONO INPUTS

on the left side of the CD-2i to create CDs of your accompaniment tapes.
