Recording Your Performance
The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP-
240/230 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for exam-
ple, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand
part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can
record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and right-
hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they
sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the CLP-
240/230 allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to
the instrument. On the CLP-240, the User songs can be saved to an
optional USB storage device.
Recording a performance quickly
This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record
your performance without specifying the recording parts—useful, for
example, in recording solo piano pieces.
In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to right part.
CAUTION
To avoid erasing previously recorded song(s):
If the song contains data, the part indicator lights up green when you select a song.
Note that recording new data on this part will erase the existing data.
(CLP-240) You cannot record the performance to the connected USB storage device
directly. The recorded songs are saved to the instrument automatically. If you want to
save data to the device, perform the Save operation (page 36) after stopping recording.
1.
Make all the initial settings.
Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you
will be using Dual or Split mode). Make any other desired settings (reverb,
effect, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume.
You can also adjust the playback volume using the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider.
NOTE
You can record your performance
(audio data) to a cassette tape
recorder or other recording
device via the AUX OUT jack
(page 56).
TERMINOLOGY
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the
Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. The Clavinova “saves” information regarding note
timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the
Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova
may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “record-
ing” because it seems to make more sense.
NOTE
When the unit is in Demo Song
mode or during a file operation
(CLP-240), Record mode cannot
be engaged.
