[. . . ] The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previouslyrecorded track. If you don't want to hear the previously recorded track as you record, press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out. · Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data on that track. C Make All Necessary Initial Settings PIANO 1 PIANO 2 CLAVINOVA E. PIANO TONE HAR CHO Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record with (or voices if you will be using the dual mode). You might also want to set the volume and tempo controls. V Start Recording Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the [PLAY] button. NOTE · If the metronome was on when you started recording, you'll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded. · You can record up to a maximum of about 4, 200 notes, depending on pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button and record track indicators will begin to flash when recorder memory is almost full, and recording will stop automatically. 13 Using the Recorder BStop Recording RECORDER 1 2 Press either the RECORDER [REC] or [PLAY] button to stop recording. The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it now contains data. PLAY REC q Changing the Initial Settings The initial voice (including dual mode and dual balance setting), damper pedal, soft pedal, tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and brilliance (CLP-155 only) settings made in step 3 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the CLP-154S/155. These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate track button, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC] button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes. If you do this, be careful not to press the [PLAY] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded data on the selected track. If you start this procedure but decide to cancel, simply select a different track then press the [REC] button a second time. All data can be erased from either of the recorder's tracks by engaging the record mode, selecting the track you want to erase, and then pressing the [PLAY] button twice without recording any data. q Erasing a Single Track Playback RECORDER 1 2 PLAY REC To play back what you've recorded, first make sure that the green track indicators of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that they are lit. Playback starts from the beginning of the recorded data, and will stop automatically at the end of the recorded data. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [PLAY] button. To mute a track so that it doesn't play back, press the corresponding track button so that its indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on). NOTE · All 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, turn the power on briefly at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by using the Bulk Dump function described on page 20. · The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback. It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.
