Yamaha YDP-88II Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Using the Recorder
Changing the Initial Settings.............................................................
The initial voice (including dual mode) and tempo settings made in
step 2 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the YDP-
88II. These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished
by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, 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.
Erasing the recorded data....................................................................
The recorded data can be erased by first pressing the [REC] button
to engage the record ready mode, and then pressing the [PLAY] button
twice without recording any data.
Playback
To play back what you’ve recorded, simply press the RECORDER
[PLAY] button. Playback starts from the beginning of the recorded
data, and will stop automatically at the end of the recorded data. You
can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [PLAY] button.
NOTE
It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback.
The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER
VOLUME] and [TEMPO] controls, respectively.
If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop
when playback is stopped.
All recorder data will be erased when the YDP-88
II
power is turned off. It
is possible to store recorded data to an external MIDI storage device such
as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by using the Bulk Dump
function described on page 16.
The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
Fast Forward Playback ............................................................................
When you want to locate a specific point in a recording you can
quickly move forward through the recording while monitoring the
sound by pressing the [REC] button while holding the [MIDI/TRANS-
POSE] button.
