Song Playback
– Playing and Practice Songs –
For the Clavinova, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available
music files, etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along
with Song playback.
There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and
Audio Songs.
• MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual
sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what
strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator
(of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information
such as keyboard part and Voice, you can practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular
part on or off, or changing Voices.
• Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that
used with voice recorders, etc. Audio data in WAV or MP3 format can be played back on this instrument
just like playing it on your smartphone or portable music player, etc.
Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons
indicate whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.
Example: … Indicates explanation applies only to MIDI Songs.
You can play back the following types of Songs.
• Preset Songs (MIDI Songs)
• Your own recorded Songs (see page 75 for instructions on recording)
• Commercially available Songs: MIDI files in SMF (Standard MIDI File) format, Audio files in WAV or
MP3 format.
NOTE
For information on compatible MIDI formats, refer to page 8.
If you want to play back a Song in a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive containing Song data to
the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.
NOTE
Before using a USB flash drive, be sure to read “Connecting USB Devices” on page 100.
