   Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP-F01 
keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, 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 tracks 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 CLP-F01’s two-track Song Recorder allows the 
recording of up to three User Songs.

Notes on recording
All user song 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 of time, 
turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.
It is also possible to store the data to an external MIDI storage device such as the 
Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on 
page 49.

Press the 

 button to select a song for recording.

The indicator of the selected song will light. (No song is selected if none of the 
indicators are lit.)

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 (tempo, 
reverb, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume. 
You can also adjust the playback volume using 

.

You can record your perfor-
mance (audio data) to a cas-
sette tape recorder or other 
recording device via the AUX 
OUT connector (page 52).

The format of performance data 
recorded on a cassette tape dif-
fers 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 Clavi-
nova produces sound based on 
the saved information. There-
fore, recording on the Clavinova 
may be more accurately called 
“saving information.” However, 
this book often uses the word 
“recording” because it seems to 
make more sense.

When the unit is in Demo Song 
mode, the [USER 1/2/3] button 
cannot be used to select a song.

When the unit is in Demo Song 
or Preset Song mode, Record 
mode cannot be engaged.

To avoid erasing data from 
the track:
If the track contains data, the 
track indicator lights up green 
when you press the [USER 1/2/
3] button. Note that recording 
new data on this track will erase 
the existing data.
