ENGLISH Recording Your Performance Recording Your Performance The ability to record and play back what you've played on the CLP240/230 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the CLP240/230 allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to the instrument. On the CLP-240, the User songs can be saved to an optional USB storage device. TERMINOLOGY Recording vs. Saving: The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. 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. NOTE You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording device via the AUX OUT jack (page 56). Recording a performance quickly 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 right part. 24 4 35 NOTE When the unit is in Demo Song mode or during a file operation (CLP-240), Record mode cannot be engaged.

Note that recording new data on this part will erase the existing data. (CLP-240) You cannot record the performance to the connected USB storage device directly. The recorded songs are saved to the instrument automatically. If you want to save data to the device, perform the Save operation (page 36) after stopping recording. 1. Make all the initial settings. Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you will be using Dual or Split mode). Make any other desired settings (reverb, effect, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume. You can also adjust the playback volume using the [MASTER VOLUME] slider. CLP-240/230 Owner's Manual 29
