Song Recording

The Clavinova features comprehensive song recording functions

that allow you to record your own performances to floppy disks.

Three recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page

107), which lets you record quickly and easily; Track Recording

(page 110), with which you can record multiple instrumental parts;

and Chord Sequence (page 116), which lets you step-record Auto

Accompaniment chords.

The music you create by recording is called a song. Up to

approximately 60 songs can be recorded on a single disk, depend-

ing on the amount of data contained in each song. Before you can

record, however, you must “format” a new disk. (See page 106).

● Structure of a Song

A song can be made up of several instrumental parts, each assigned to

a different track, as shown in the example below.

Various confirmation, alert, and error messages may appear in the

display during operation. Refer to the “Messages” section (page 2 in the

Reference Manual) for information on the messages.

• Refer to “Handling Floppy Disks”
(page 7) for information on using
floppy disks.
• Songs recorded by the CVP-98/96/
600 are saved as XG/SMF (format 0)
files. See page 8 in the Reference
Manual for information on the XG/
SMF (format 0) format.
• Recorded song data is not output
through the MIDI OUT terminal when
played back.
