Playing Back Recorded Songs and Commercially-available Music Data
See page 59 for information on
the types of song data that can
be played on the Clavinova.
Change the Clavinova’s char-
acter type ([CharacterCode])
as appropriate for the selected
song (page 55).
You can play back songs recorded using the Record function (page 36) as well
as commercially-available music data. You can also play the keyboard along
with the playback.
Songs containing a large amount of data may not be able to be read properly by the instrument,
and as such you may not be able to select them. The maximum capacity is about 200–300KB,
however this may differ depending on the data contents of each song.
