CLP-811/611 Using the Recorder
Using the Recorder
Your Clavinova includes a two-track recorder that lets you record and play back a key-
board performance. If you like, you can build a two-track song by recording separate
performances (and separate voices) onto each track.
The recording function 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 registers the following data.
Common to Both Tracks
Tempo Reverb type & depth Effect type
Independent for Each Track
Notes played Voice selection Voice variation
Dual-mode voices Split-mode voices Damper pedal
Soft pedal Sostenuto pedal Brilliance level
Effect depth DUAL-mode settings (F4) SPLIT-mode settings (F5)
NOTE
DUAL-and SPLIT-mode settings cannot be changed while recording is in progress.
Recording
Procedure
1
Make initial settings.
Select the voice you want to use. (If you are using SPLIT or DUAL
mode, select both voices.) You may also want to set the volume and
tempo values.
2
If you have already recorded to one track and wish to listen
to it while recording on the other, check that the indicator
for the track you want to hear is lit up green. If the lamp is
off, press the track button ([1] or [2]) once to set it on.
3
Enter RECORDING-mode standby.
Press the [REC] button once to enter recording standby. The track-
indicator over one of the track buttons will light up red.
The lamp will come on only if the
track contains recorded data.
Before beginning a recording...
You may find it convenient to
press both buttons to check
whether data already exists. If
either lamp comes on, then the
corresponding track contains
data that will be lost when you
being recording to it.
If you have not recorded
anything since power-on, the
lamp above button [1] will come
on. If you have already
recorded, then the lamp above
the most recently recorded track
will come on.
You cannot enter RECORDING
mode while the Clavinova is in
DEMO/PIANO SONG mode.
To release RECORDING-mode
standby...
Press the [REC] button a second
time.
