Using the Recorder
20
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the
keyboard or press the [START/STOP] button. The current measure
number will appear on the display while recording.
Press either the RECORDER [REC] or [START/STOP] button to
stop recording.
The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it
now contains data.
The initial voice (including dual mode), damper pedal, soft pedal,
tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings made in step 1 of the
recording procedure are actually recorded by the CLP-555. 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 [START/STOP] button or a key
on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previ-
ous 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).
All data can be erased from either of the recorder's tracks by engag-
ing the record mode, selecting the track you want to erase, and then
pressing the [START/STOP] button twice without recording any data.
