Clavinova memory

The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:
•Current memory:
This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit
the currently-selected song before playback or recording.
•Preset song memory:
This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.
•Storage memory:
This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded
from USB storage device.
When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song
memory, Storage memory, or USB storage device, into Current memory.
You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn
off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Stor-
age memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are
lost. However, recorded songs are automatically saved to Storage memory
from Current memory.
In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is
referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memor y is a “Memory
song,” and a song on a USB storage device is an “External song.”
