Recording To Specified Channels (Midi Recording) - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 Owner's Manual

Recording to Specified Channels (MIDI Recording)

With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by
recording your performance to each channel one by one. In recording a piano piece, for
example, you can record the right-hand part to channel 1 then record the left-hand part
to channel 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live
with both hands together. To record a performance with Style playback, for example,
record the Style playback to channels 9 – 16, then record melodies to channel 1 while
listening to the already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can create an entire
Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.
