Song Recording – Recording Your Performance; Basic Procedure For Recording (Midi/Audio Recording) - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 Owner's Manual

Song Recording
– Recording Your Performance –
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.
• MIDI recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash memory as an SMF (format 0)
MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also if you want
to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Track Recording of the MIDI recording method.
Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 70), you may want to use MIDI recording
(with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play
live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.
• Audio recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash memory as an Audio file. Recording is done without
designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit)
by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. The file format can be
changed to MP3 via [Menu] → [SongSetting] → [Rec] → [Audio Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to
80 minutes per single recording.
Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio
Recording)
Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI
recording and Audio Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio
Recording, if you want to record your vocal). As necessary, connect the USB flash
memory to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to execute Audio
Recording.
Before starting Audio Recording:
Recorded data via Audio can only be saved to USB flash memory. If you want to execute Audio
Recording, make sure to connect the USB flash memory beforehand.
