Recording Your Performance; Recording A New Song; Recording To [Track 1] - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-970A Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova
recording function.
You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova key-
board for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part,
then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand
part.
Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the left-
and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor-
mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.
TERMINOLOGY
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas-
sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova "saves" information regarding note timing, voices, and
a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the
saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called "saving information." However,
this book often uses the word "recording" because it seems to make more sense.
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.
Refer to the "Message List" on page 86 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and
troubleshooting information.
