Recording Your Performance
The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP-
265GP 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 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-
265GP allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to the
instrument.
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.
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 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 perfor-
mance (audio data) to a cas-
sette tape recorder or other
recording device via the AUX
OUT jack (page 46).
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, Record mode cannot be
engaged.
