"_ _ _" is displayed for any tempo value during playback of the supplied PianoSoft demonstration disk or optional Disklavier PianoSoft disks. q Fast Reverse and Forward During playback the SONG [r] and [f] buttons function as fast reverse and forward controls: 5 SONG r f Measure Number s Fast reverse: Press the SONG [r] button during playback to move backward rapidly through the song. The current measure number will appear on the display. No sound is produced during fast reverse. s Fast forward: Press the SONG [f] button during playback to move rapidly forward through the song. The current measure number will appear on the display, and the fast-forward sound can be heard. q Playing Back only One Track RECORDER 1/R 2/L q Repeat Playback MIDI/ TRANSPOSE PLAY REC If both the [1/R] and [2/L] track button indicators light green, both tracks contain data which will be played back. If you only want to play back one track, however, you can turn either track off by pressing its track button so the indicator goes out. Press the same track button again so the indicator lights to turn the track back on. Both tracks can be turned on or off either before or during playback in this way. As mentioned in step 2 of the playback procedure described above, you can select "ALL" instead of an individual song number if you want to hear all the songs on the disk played back in sequence. It is also possible to automatically play all songs from the currently selected song repeatedly by pressing the [PLAY] button while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. Press the [PLAY] button to stop repeat playback at any time. q Playing Other Types of Music Data In addition to the supplied PianoSoft demonstration disk and disks containing performances you record yourself using the CLP-156 recorder function, the Clavinova can play back optional Yamaha Disklavier PianoSoft™ disks available from your Yamaha dealer, and disks containing songs recorded in Standard MIDI File format (format 0 only). When playing Standard MIDI Files, approximate panel voices will automatically be selected for the voices specified by the song data. In most cases pre-recorded Standard MIDI File disks will include data for more tracks than the two available on the CLP-156. Only track-1 and track-2 data will be played by the CLP-156, while the data for other tracks will be transmitted via the CLP-156 MIDI OUT terminal (see page 6). The data for tracks 1 and 2 will not be transmitted via MIDI OUT. It is possible, however, to re-assign the data for other tracks to playback via tracks 1 and 2 by using the "Disk Playback Track Selection" function described on page 27. In this case the data for all tracks other than those assigned to be played by the CLP-156 will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. 17
