The Step Edit function gives you a convenient way to modify the
individual notes and control changes that make up a song you’ve
recorded. This function not only lets you change notes, it also
allows you to adjust the timing, length, and velocity with which
the notes are played. You can also modify other events, add or
delete events, or even record entire songs one note at a time.
Use the following basic procedure to edit song data you have re-
corded on a floppy disk. (See the “Song Recording” section in this chap-
ter for descriptions of the various song recording methods.)

Editing Song Events

• To edit a song that you have recorded
in the Clavinova’s internal memory,
you must first use the Song Copy
function (page 196) to copy the song
onto a floppy disk.
• The Step Edit function cannot be used
to edit copied DOC files.
Insert a disk containing the song data you want to edit, just as you
would to record a new song (page 132).
➔The SONG PLAY [MAIN] display appears.

The internal tone generator of the CVP-109/107/105/700 does not support polyphonic
aftertouch. Although the Step Edit function lets you add polyphonic aftertouch data to a
song (e.g., for use by other MIDI instruments), this data will not affect playback by the
CVP-109/107/105/700.
