Yamaha YDP-88 Using the Recorder

Using the Recorder

The YDP-88 recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. This is a use-

ful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s

perspective. It can also be just plain fun.

The recorder actually records the following data:

● Notes played ● Voice selection ● Dual mode voices ● Dual balance

● Damper pedal ● Left pedal ● Tempo (Initial setting only.)

Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode

(recording does not actually start yet). The [REC] button indicator will

light.

Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record

with (or voices if you will be using the dual mode). You might also want to

set the volume and tempo controls.

Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the

keyboard or press the [PLAY] button.

NOTE

• 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 1,300 notes, depending on

pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button indicator will begin to

flash when recorder memory is almost full, and recording will stop auto-

matically.

Press either the RECORDER [REC] or [PLAY] button to stop record-

ing.
