Basic Procedure For Recording (Midi/Audio Recording); Song Recording – Recording Your Performance - Yamaha CVP-709 Owner's Manual

Song Recording
– Recording Your Performance –
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.
• MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash drive as an SMF
(format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or change Voices and edit other parameters,
use this method. Also if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi
Track Recording of the MIDI recording method. Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song
after recording (page 81), you may want to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to
first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio
Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.
• Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done
without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality
resolution (44.1kHz/16-bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by
using a computer. The file format can be changed to MP3 via [Menu] → [SongSetting] → [Rec] → [Audio
Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio Recording)

Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI Recording and Audio
Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio Recording, if you want to record your vocal).
As necessary, connect the USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to
execute Audio Recording.
NOTE
• Before using a USB flash drive, be sure to read "Connecting USB Devices" on page 97.
• You can record your performance using an Audio Style when recording the audio in WAV format, but not in MP3 format. Also, if you
record the song using MIDI recording, the audio part cannot be recorded. Only in the Piano Room, however, the audio part can be
recorded by using MIDI recording (page 47).
Before starting Audio Recording:
Recorded data via Audio can only be saved to USB flash drive. If you want to execute Audio Recording, make sure
to connect the USB flash drive beforehand.
