Recording A Wave File; Cp5/Cp50 Owner's Manual - Yamaha CP5 Owner's Manual

Recording a Wave File

1
Ensure that the USB flash-memory device to which you wish to record has already been plugged into the stage
piano's USB TO DEVICE port.
2
Press the [REC] button.
The Record screen will be displayed.
3
Press the [ PAGE] or [1] button to ensure that Page 1 is displayed. Then, turn Knob 1 to select "Wave" (i.e., a Wave
file).
A name with which to save the Wave file will be automatically assigned.
4
If necessary, press Knob 3 to specify a different name. When you have finished setting the name, press the [ENTER]
button to return to Page 1 of the Performance screen.
For details regarding the setting of names, refer to the Basic Operations section above (page 20).
NOTE
Whenever Wave files are being recorded on your CP5 and CP50, the characters } and { are automatically added to the file name as the 7th
and 8th characters, and modification of these characters prior to recording is not possible. Although names can be edited after recording,
these two characters should not be removed. When compared with the volume of performances on the keyboard, the playback volume of
Wave files recorded on the stage piano is extremely low; accordingly, the playback level is automatically increased for Wave files with } and {
characters in the positions indicated in order to maintain a good balance between keyboard and playback levels.
5
Press the [PAGE ], [3], or [4] button to navigate to Pages 3 and 4 of the Record screen, and then turn Knobs 1 to 3
to set the tempo, time signature, and metronome for recording.
NOTE
For more details regarding the parameters on these pages, refer to the Reference Manual pdf document.
6
Press the [ ] (Play / Pause) button.
/
Recording will start. The currently selected backing track will also play, and it will be recorded together with your
keyboard performance.
NOTICE
The USB flash-memory device should never be removed during recording as it may be permanently damaged as a result of this
action.
NOTE
If a Wave file has been set as the Performance's backing track, it will not playback during the recording process.
NOTE
If you would prefer not to have the backing track play while recording, turn off the TRACK part using the [TRACK] button. (The corresponding
lamp will go out when the part is turned off.)
