Using The Recorder; Recording - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-820 Owner's Manual

Using the Recorder

The Clavinova features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play
on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can "overdub"
one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder feature
is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly
how you sound from the listener's perspective. It can also be just plain fun.
The recorder actually records the following data:

Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to
record with (or voices if you will be using the dual or split mode). You
might also want to set the volume and tempo controls.
Engage the Record Ready Mode
Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode
(recording does not actually start yet). The record ready mode can be
disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button a second time.
Select the Record Track
When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the last-
recorded track will automatically be selected for recording and its indica-
tor — i.e. the [1] or [2] button indicator — will glow red. If you want to
record on a different track, press the appropriate track button so that its
indicator glows red.

• The record ready mode cannot be engaged while the demo/piano song
mode is engaged.

• The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data
will glow green (unless the track is turned off as described below). The
previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played
back as you record, so you can play along with a previously-recorded track.
If you don't want to hear the previously recorded track as you record (when
you want to record a song different from what you recorded on the previous
track etc.,), press the playback track button before pressing the [REC]
button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out.
• Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous
data on that track.
• When the record mode is engaged the amount of memory available for
recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes
(starting at "50" on the CLP-880/860 and "25" on the CLP-840/820/820S),
and the rightmost dot on the LED display will flash at the current METRO-
NOME tempo setting.
