Utility 7: Disk Playback Track Selection Normally the CLP-156 plays the track-1 and track-2 data on a disk. Some pre-recorded MIDI Standard File disks as well as those recorded on sequencers or similar equipment have performance data on other tracks as well. This function lets you select any two tracks for playback from among the 16 that may possibly be available. q Selecting the Playback Track for CLP-156 Track 1/R or 2/L Z Select the Disk Playback Track Selection Function 12 Hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and press the SONG [r] or [f] button as many times as necessary until "1 2" appears on the display - don't release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button yet.

NOTE • The disk playback track selection settings are cancelled as soon as you remove the floppy disk from the disk drive. Utility 8: Convert to SMF This function can be used to convert the performance data recorded by the CLP-156 (Yamaha ESEQ format) to Standard MIDI File (SMF) format (format 0) so songs recorded on the CLP-156 can be played back on SMF-compatible devices. CAUTION • Data converted to SMF format cannot be re-converted to the CLP-156 format or re-recorded on the CLP-156 - "no" will appear on the display when you press the [REC] button. It may therefore be a good idea to make a copy of important data using the Song Copy function (page 25) before converting it. Z Insert a Disk & Song Number Select a Insert the disk containing the data to be converted into the Clavinova disk drive, then use the SONG [r] and [f] buttons to select the song number you want to convert. 27
