Recording Your Performance; Recording To [Track 1]; Settings - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-F01 Owner's Manual

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you've played on the CLP-F01
keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record
just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while
playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up
to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts
separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound
when played back. The CLP-F01's two-track Song Recorder allows the
recording of up to three User Songs.

Notes on recording
All user song recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the
power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods of time,
turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.
It is also possible to store the data to an external MIDI storage device such as the
Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on
page 49.

TIP
You can record your perfor-
mance (audio data) to a cas-
sette tape recorder or other
recording device via the AUX
OUT connector (page 52).
TERMINOLOGY
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data
recorded on a cassette tape dif-
fers from that of data recorded
on the Clavinova. A cassette
tape records audio signals. The
Clavinova "saves" information
regarding note timing, voices,
and a tempo value, but not
audio signals. When you play
back recorded songs, the Clavi-
nova produces sound based on
the saved information. There-
fore, recording on the Clavinova
may be more accurately called
"saving information." However,
this book often uses the word
"recording" because it seems to
make more sense.
