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 32.
•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 10,000 notes on the CLP-880/
860 or 5,000 notes on the CLP-840/820/820S, depending on pedal usage
and other factors. The record track indicator 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. (All recorded data up to that point will be retained.)
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, tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings
made in step 1 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the
Clavinova.
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
previous 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 following data for initial settings cannot be changed: “Dual balance
(F3)”, “Dual detune (F3)”, “Dual octave shift (F3)”, “Split balance (F4:CLP-
880/860)” or “Split octave shift (F4:CLP-880/860)”.
Press twice.
