Yamaha YDP-88II Musical Instrument User Manual


 
The YDP-88II recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard and
then play it back. This 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:
Notes played Voice selection
Dual mode voices Dual balance Dual mode octave shift
Damper pedal Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting)
Tempo (Initial setting only.)
Using the Recorder
Press either the RECORDER [REC] or [PLAY] button to stop
recording.
Recording

Press the RECORDER [REC] button to engage the record ready
mode (recording does not actually start yet). The [REC] button indica-
tor will light.
Make All Necessary Initial Settings ...........................................
Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to
record with (or voices if you will be using the dual mode). You might
also want to set the volume and tempo controls.
Start Recording................................................................................................
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the
keyboard or press the [PLAY] button.
NOTE
If the metronome was on when you started recording, you’ll be able to
keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound
will not be recorded.
You can record up to a maximum of about 1,300 notes, depending on
pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button indicator will begin to
flash when recorder memory is almost full, and recording will stop
automatically.
