note data to a song that you’re editing in Step Edit mode.
ZOpen the STEP EDIT [NOTE RECORD] page......................
Recording Music in Step Edit Mode
Recording from Scratch
• You can record an entire song in Step
Edit mode, if you like. Just insert a
floppy disk, select an unused song
number, and press the [REC] button to
start recording, then follow the proce-
dure described here to begin entering
note data.
• When recording notes in Step Edit
mode, make sure the current voice
selection matches that of the track
you’re recording to. If a different voice is
used, the notes may be recorded at the
wrong pitch.
• When certain voices are used, the LCD
may display pitches one or two octaves
higher or lower than the notes that were
played. This is normal; during playback,
the notes will be played back as re-
corded.
Use the PAGE [<] and [>] buttons to display page 2 of the STEP
EDIT display.
Location
XSelect the location for the new note. ...........................................
Enter the track and location where you want to record the new note as
described in steps 4 and 5 of the basic editing procedure (page 148). If
there is already an event at the desired location, you can select that event
as described in step 6 of the editing procedure (page 148).
➔The first event that occurs at or after the specified location is high-
lighted.
CSelect a dynamic. ..............................................................................................
Dynamic
• Setting: KBD, fff — ppp
• Basic setting: KBD
Press the first right LCD button to display the dynamic for the note
you are going to record. The dynamic you select determines the velocity
of the note. You can select one of eight dynamic symbols — from fff to
ppp — or KBD. If you select KBD, the Clavinova will record the actual
velocity that you play on the keyboard.
➔The dynamic changes each time you press the button.
