Using the Recorder The CLP-411 has a 1-track recorder and the CLP-511 features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks on the CLP-511 mean that you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. 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.
