Using the RecorderPlayback
To play back what you’ve recorded on the CLP-411, simply press the
RECORDER [START/STOP] button.
On the CLP-511 first make sure that the green track indicators of the tracks
you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that
they are lit. Then press the RECORDER [START/STOP] button. Playback
starts from the beginning of the recorded data, and will stop automatically at
the end of the recorded data. You can also stop playback at any time by press-
ing the [START/STOP] button. To mute a CLP-511 track so that it doesn’t
play back, press the corresponding track button so that its indicator goes out
(press again to turn the track back on).
The current measure number appears on the display during playback.
NOTE
•It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback.
•The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOL-
UME] control and [TEMPO/SONG] buttons (press both [TEMPO/SONG] buttons
simultaneously to recall the default tempo).
•CLP-411: All recorder data will be erased when the power is turned off. Store
recordings you want to keep to an external MIDI storage device such as the
Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by using the Bulk Dump function described
on page 28.
•CLP-511: All recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the
power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn
the power on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to
an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit
by using the Bulk Dump function described on page 28.
•The CLP-511 track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned
on even if the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track
buttons so that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RE-
CORDER playback. It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the
tracks contain data before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corre-
sponding track button is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and
replaced by the newly-recorded data.
•If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop when
playback is stopped.
•During recorder playback on the CLP-511, the volume of a track which is turned off
will always be “0” (i.e. the “Piano Song Part Cancel Volume” function — page 25 —
only affects piano song playback.
•The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
•Playback cannot be started when the demo/piano song mode or function mode is
engaged. CLP-511 playback can be started from the function mode, however, after
one of the track buttons — [1] or [2] — is pressed.
•Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data. CLP-511 playback
cannot be started when both track buttons are off.
