Recording A Song - Yamaha DGT7A Advanced Operation Manual

Recording a Song

You can record your song onto Memory Disks or
a floppy disk.
A very basic description of the song recording
procedure is described below.
1
Specify a disk.
Note: If you are recording to a floppy disk,
make sure that the disks's erasure
protection tab is set to "unprotected."
Unformatted disks must be formatted before
use with the Disklavier. See "Formatting
Disks" on page 17.
2
Press [REC].
The REC indicator lights, the
PLAY/PAUSE indicator flashes, and the
following display appears.
If the disk already contains songs, a new
song number will be created. For example,
if the last song to be recorded was No. 6,
the new recording will be song No. 7.
You can title your new song either now or
after recording. See "Song Titling and Title
Editing" on page 22.
If you want to record a song using the
metronome, see "Recording with the
Metronome" on page 24.
3
Press [PLAY/PAUSE].
The PLAY/PAUSE indicator stops flashing,
and the following display appears.
The Disklavier is now ready for you to
play.
4
Start playing your song and
recording will begin.
Recording will start as soon as you touch a
key or press a pedal.
5
When you finish playing your
song, press [STOP].
The following displays appear.
Note: Do not attempt to eject or insert disks
while the above messages are
displayed.
Your new song is saved to disk.
Remaining Disk Space
If the [REC] button is pressed and the amount of
free disk space is less than 10%, the characters
"DSK" flash on the display, as shown below. If
your next recording is quite long, it may be better
to use a new disk. If you run out of disk space
while recording, your song data will not be
recorded.
During recording, the remaining disk space is
displayed as a percentage.
The percentage will decrease as more data is
recorded.
