Recording Your Performance Basic Operation This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function. You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova keyboard for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, you could record the leftand right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performance or ensemble song one by one to build a song. TIP You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (see page 59.) TERMINOLOGY Recording vs. Saving: The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas- sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova "saves" information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called "saving information." However, this book often uses the word "recording" because it seems to make more sense. A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the "Message List" on page 93 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information. Recording a New Song There are two ways to record your performance: recording it quickly without specifying a recording part, or recording several different parts to multiple parts. You can select whichever way best suits your purpose. ■ Recording a performance without specifying the recording part (page 35) This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without specifying the recording parts-useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to part 1 (right part). ■ Recording a performance of several different parts (page 39) This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts sepa- rately, record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated composi- tions. EXTRA PARTS LEFT RIGHT TIP Part 1 Part 2 [RIGHT] corresponds to part 1. Record the right-hand part to [RIGHT]. [LEFT] corresponds to part 2. Record the left-hand part to [LEFT]. Appropriate channels (parts) in the song will automatically be assigned to [RIGHT] and [LEFT]. Therefore, [RIGHT] may be assigned to a part other Part 3 Part 4 [EXTRA PARTS] corresponds to part 3-16. Record parts 3-16 in addition to part 1 and 2 when you are recording a song which has many parts, such as a symphony orchestra. than Part 1, or [LEFT] to a part other than Part 2.
