Using the Recorder
Start Recording................................................................................................
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the
keyboard or press the [START/STOP] button. The current measure
number will appear on the display while recording.
• The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop recording via the “Left
Pedal Mode” function described on page 27.
• If the metronome was on when you started recording, you’ll be able to
keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound
will not be recorded.
• You can record up to a maximum of about 4,200 notes, depending on
pedal usage and other factors. The record track indicators will begin to
flash when recorder memory is almost full. If the memory becomes full
during recording, “FUL” will appear on the display and recording will stop
automatically.

RECORDER
Stop Recording................................................................................................
Press either the RECORDER [REC] or [START/STOP] button to
stop recording.
The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it
now contains data.
Erasing a Single Track..............................................................................
All data can be erased from either of the recorder’s tracks by engag-
ing the record mode, selecting the track you want to erase, and then
pressing the [START/STOP] button twice without recording any data.
Changing the Initial Settings.............................................................
The initial voice (including dual mode), damper pedal, soft pedal,
tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings made in step 1 of the
recording procedure are actually recorded by the CLP-555. These initial
settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the
[REC] button to engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate
track button, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC]
button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes.
If you do this, be careful not to press the [START/STOP] button or a key
on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previ-
ous recorded data on the selected track. It is possible to cancel the
operation even after changes have been made: change tracks and then
press the [REC] button to exit from the record mode (this also cancels
data for the entire song).
•
The initial data of the “Dual mode functions (F3)” or “Split mode functions
(F4)” cannot be changed.
