Using the Recorder

The CLP-156 features a two-track recorder that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then

play it back. Since you have two tracks, you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different

voice if you like, to create complex, rich-sounding recordings. The recorder feature 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.

Each individual recording made using this function is known as a “song”, and up to 60 songs can be

recorded on a single floppy disk (less if the recorded songs contain a large amount of data).

Recording

Insert a properly formatted disk into the disk drive, with the sliding

door facing the drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk

should click into place and the disk lamp will light briefly while the

Clavinova reads and identifies the disk. Song number “1” will also ap-

pear on the display.

NOTE

• If an unformatted disk or a disk that was not formatted by the CLP-

156 is inserted, “For” will appear flashing on the display and recording

will not be possible. Be sure to format the disk using the “Floppy Disk

Format” function described on page 24 before recording.

Use the SONG [r] and [f] buttons to select the song number you

want to record to.

NOTE

• When a song number is selected the [1/R] and [2/L] track button

indicators will light green if the corresponding tracks already contain

performance data. If you record to a song number that contains data,

the old data will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.

Select an “empty” song if you don’t want to erase the existing data.

Use the voice selectors to select the voice you want to record with. In

addition to the notes played, the CLP-156 also records the data listed in

the charts below. “Initial Value” refers to settings that can be made be-

fore actually beginning recording — e.g. selecting a voice or brilliance

type. “During Recording” refers to parameter changes that will be re-

corded while recording. The initial settings can be changed after record-

ing as described in “Changing the Initial Settings” on page 20.
