20 CLP-811/611 Using the Recorder

Using the Recorder

Your Clavinova includes a two-track recorder that lets you record and play back a key-

board performance. If you like, you can build a two-track song by recording separate

performances (and separate voices) onto each track.

The recording function is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets

you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain

fun.

The recorder registers the following data.

■Common to Both Tracks

●Tempo ●Reverb type & depth ●Effect type

■Independent for Each Track

●Notes played ●Voice selection ●Voice variation

●Dual-mode voices ●Split-mode voices ●Damper pedal

●Soft pedal ●Sostenuto pedal ●Brilliance level

●Effect depth ●DUAL-mode settings (F4) ●SPLIT-mode settings (F5)

NOTE

DUAL-and SPLIT-mode settings cannot be changed while recording is in progress.

Recording

Procedure

Make initial settings.

Select the voice you want to use. (If you are using SPLIT or DUAL

mode, select both voices.) You may also want to set the volume and

tempo values.

If you have already recorded to one track and wish to listen

to it while recording on the other, check that the indicator

for the track you want to hear is lit up green. If the lamp is

off, press the track button ([1] or [2]) once to set it on.

Enter RECORDING-mode standby.

Press the [REC] button once to enter recording standby. The track-

indicator over one of the track buttons will light up red.

The lamp will come on only if the

track contains recorded data.

Before beginning a recording...

You may find it convenient to

press both buttons to check

whether data already exists. If

either lamp comes on, then the

corresponding track contains

data that will be lost when you

being recording to it.

If you have not recorded

anything since power-on, the

lamp above button [1] will come

on. If you have already

recorded, then the lamp above

the most recently recorded track

will come on.

You cannot enter RECORDING

mode while the Clavinova is in

DEMO/PIANO SONG mode.

To release RECORDING-mode

standby...

Press the [REC] button a second

time.
