Yamaha YPP-200 Owner's Manual - Page 24

Using the User Song Recorder Start Recording Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the SONG [START/STOP] button. The current measure number will appear on the display while recording. • A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack can be assigned to function as a start/stop switch for song recording with the "Soft Pedal Mode" described on page 29. • 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 10,000 notes on the YPP-200, depending on pedal usage and other factors. The record track indicator will begin to flash when recorder memory is almost full. If the memory becomes full during recording, " FUL" will appear on the display and recording will stop automatically. (All recorded data up to that point will be retained.) Stop Recording Press either the [REC] or SONG [START/STOP] button to stop recording. The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it now contains data. Changing the Initial Settings The initial voice, tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings made in step 1 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the YPP-200. These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate track button, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC] button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes. If you do this, be careful not to press the SONG [START/STOP] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded data on the selected track. It is possible to cancel the operation even after changes have been made: change tracks and then press the [REC] button to exit from the record mode (this also cancels data for the entire song). • The following data for initial settings cannot be changed: "Dual balance (F3)", "Dual detune (F3)" or "Dual octave shift (F3)". Press twice. Erasing a Single Track All data can be erased from either of the recorder's tracks by engaging the record mode, selecting the track you want to erase, and then pressing the SONG [START/STOP] button twice without recording any data. 24 YPP-200
