Saving Recorded Songs and Handling the Files...[FILE]
Saving recorded or other songs to Clavinova Storage memory...[SaveToMemory]
If you record a song, then turn off the power to the Clavinova, the song will be erased. To save the recorded
song, you must save it into the Clavinova Storage memory or to a floppy disk. (To save a song to a floppy
disk, refer to the next section [SaveToDisk].) You can also save the preset songs, disk songs, and additional or
overwriting recordings (page 46) to Storage memory.
Procedure

cedure of Step 4.

To move the cursor (a small underline), use the C [–]/[+] buttons.
To insert a space, press the C [–]/[+] buttons simultaneously.
To select a character on the cursor, use the D [–]/[+] buttons.
To delete a character, press the D [–]/[+] buttons simultaneously.
You can use up to 58 characters for a song name. If the name is longer
than the screen, use the C [–]/[+] buttons to move the cursor and
scroll the name.

Press the B [+ (YES)] button located next to “Execute?→”
“Sure?→.” appears on the screen. Press the B [+ (YES)] button again

tion. When the operation is complete, “Completed” appears.
The song is automatically numbered as “Mxx,” where “M” means
“Memory” and “xx” is a number.
Do not turn off the power
