Song Recording
The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S features a built-in “sequencer” which can be used to
independently record up to 16 separate parts of a single musical composition.
Each part is recorded on a separate song “track”. The music data that you record
is stored on a 3.5" floppy disk loaded into the Clavinova’s disk drive unit. Up to
approximately 60 songs can be recorded on a single disk, depending on the
amount of data contained in each song. Before you can record, however, you
must “format” a new disk, as described on page 98.
A number of confirmation, information, prompt, alert, and error displays may appear during operation.
See the “MESSAGES” on page 110 if you need more details on any of these messages.
• The Clavinova records data using the SMF format 0 and the Clavinova’s internal voices which include GM
system level 1 compatible voice assignments.
ZInsert a Formatted Disk .............................................................................
If you haven’t already done so, make sure that a properly formatted
disk is loaded into the Clavinova disk drive (see page 98), and that the
disk’s write protect tab is set to the “write” position (tab closed).
• If you insert an unformatted disk, “Start
disk format?” will appear on the dis-
play. Press OK to format the disk or
CANCEL to abort.
• Protected disks (DOC, etc.) cannot be
formatted.
