Changing the Initial Settings

Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (re-
cording does not actually start yet). The [REC] button indicator will light red.
When the [REC] button is released the amount of space available on the cur-
RECORDER
1/R 2/L
rently loaded floppy disk will be shown on the display in kilobytes (approxi-
mate). Also, a dot on the right side of the display will flash at the current tempo.
The record ready mode can be disengaged before recording by simply press-
PLAY REC
ing the [REC] button again.
NOTE
When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the last-recorded track
will automatically be selected for recording and its indicator — i.e. the [1/R] or
[2/L] 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.
NOTE
If you want to use the metronome while recording, press the [METRO-
NOME] button and adjust the tempo and volume as described on page 15. The
metronome sound will not be recorded.
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the key-
board or press the [PLAY] button. The current measure number will appear on
the display during recording.
NOTE
Press either the [REC] or [PLAY] button to stop recording. "rEc" will appear
on the display while the data is being written to the floppy disk, then the indica-
tor of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it now contains data,
and the display will revert to the normal song number display.
The initial settings (see the chart in step 3, above) recorded by the CLP-156
can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to
engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate track button, making the
required changes, and then pressing the [REC] button again to exit from the
record ready mode and register the changes. If you do this, be careful not to
press the [PLAY] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start
recording and erase all previous recorded data on the selected track. If you start
this procedure but decide to cancel, simply select a different track then press the
[REC] button a second time.
• It is not possible to record to a song which contains data recorded on an in-
strument other than the CLP-156 — "no" will appear on the display when you
press the [REC] button.
• The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data
will glow green. The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will
normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previ-
ously-recorded track. If you don't want to hear the previously recorded track as
you record, press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button
(step 4, above) so that its indicator goes out.
• Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data
on that track.
• You can record up to a maximum of about 57,000 notes on a single floppy
disk (approximately 700 kilobytes disk capacity), depending on pedal usage
and other factors. If the disk becomes full while recording, "FUL" will appear
on the display and recording will stop automatically.
