Yamaha CLP-156 Owner's Manual - Page 18

Using the Recorder The CLP-156 features a two-track recorder that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Since you have two tracks, you can "overdub" one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like, to create complex, rich-sounding recordings. The recorder feature is a useful 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. Each individual recording made using this function is known as a "song", and up to 60 songs can be recorded on a single floppy disk (less if the recorded songs contain a large amount of data). Recording Z Insert a Disk 1 Insert a properly formatted disk into the disk drive, with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk should click into place and the disk lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the disk. Song number "1" will also appear on the display. NOTE • If an unformatted disk or a disk that was not formatted by the CLP156 is inserted, "For" will appear flashing on the display and recording will not be possible. Be sure to format the disk using the "Floppy Disk Format" function described on page 24 before recording. X Select a Song Number 2 RECORDER 1/R 2/L Song Number SONG r f PLAY REC Use the SONG [r] and [f] buttons to select the song number you want to record to. NOTE • When a song number is selected the [1/R] and [2/L] track button indicators will light green if the corresponding tracks already contain performance data. If you record to a song number that contains data, the old data will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data. Select an "empty" song if you don't want to erase the existing data.
