Saving Recorded Songs and Handling the Files...[FILE]
Saving recorded or other songs to Clavinova Storage
memory...[SaveToMemory]
If you record a song, then turn off the power to the Clavinova, the song will be erased. To save the recorded
song, you must save it into the Clavinova Storage memory or to a floppy disk (CLP-170). (To save a song to a
floppy disk, refer to the next section [SaveToDisk].) You can also save the preset songs, disk songs, and addi-
tional or overwriting recordings (page 43) to Storage memory.

cedure of Step 4.

To insert a space, press the C [–]/[+] buttons simultaneously.
To select a character on the cursor, use the D [–]/[+] buttons.
To delete a character, press the D [–]/[+] buttons simultaneously.
You can use up to 58 characters for a song name. If the name is longer

The song is automatically numbered as “M—,” where “M” means
“Memory” and “—” is a number.
