NOTE
You cannot select songs in Demo
Song mode (page 14) or during
file operations (page 35).
NOTE
When playing back songs con-
taining various voices or parts
(such as XG or GM songs), the
voices may not sound correct or
as intended on the original. You
may be able to remedy this and
make the playback sound more
natural or appropriate by chang-
ing the Song Channel Selection
setting (page 51) to “1&2,” so that
only channels 1 and 2 will play
back.
NOTE
If the song cannot be selected or
loaded, you may need to change
the Character Code setting
(page 55).
NOTE
Song data is not transmitted via
the MIDI connections. However,
channels 3-16 of DOC songs,
Disklavier Piano Soft songs, and
non-protected External songs will
be transmitted via the MIDI con-
nections depending on the Song
Channel Selection setting
(page 51).
NOTE
Appropriate channels in the song
will automatically be assigned to
[RIGHT] and [LEFT] . Therefore,
[RIGHT] may be assigned to a
part other than channel 1, or
[LEFT] to a part other than chan-
nel 2.
NOTE
For the USB storage device,
folder directories on this instru-
ment can be recognized up to
two levels. However, the level is
not displayed and song numbers
001-999 are displayed whichever
level the song contains.
NOTE
If the metronome is being used
during playback, the metronome
will automatically stop when play-
back is stopped.
NOTE
If the REVERB type is changed
via the panel controls during play-
back, both the playback and key-
board reverb effects will be
changed.
NOTE
If the EFFECT type is changed via
the panel controls during playback,
the playback effect may be
switched off in some cases.
Sequence formats that can be played on the CLP-240/230
• SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1
The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used
for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number
of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI
sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence files allows you to
exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are
exported as SMF Format 0.
• ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the
Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software.
In the ESEQ files, only DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) files and Disklavier Piano Soft songs
can be played back on this instrument.
