Disk Playback
Performance data on the supplied PianoSoft demonstration disk (others are available from Yamaha), as
well as original performances you record using the Clavinova’s Recorder function (page 18) can be played
back as described below.
Insert the disk containing the data to be played back into the disk
drive, with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side facing
upward. The disk should click into place and the disk lamp will light
briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the disk. Song number
“1” will also appear on the display.
NOTE
• Any recorded data in the CLP-156 memory (i.e. data recorded with-
out first inserting a disk) will be erased when:
(1) the supplied PianoSoft demonstration disk or an optional
PianoSoft disk is inserted.
(2) a disk containing original performance data is inserted and the
“Select a Song Number” operation, below, is carried out.
If you want to keep the data that is in the instrument’s memory, copy
it to a recordable disk as described on page 20 before doing any of
the above.
Use the SONG [
r
] and [
f
] buttons to select the song number you
want to play. Select “ALL” if you want all songs on the disk to be played
back in sequence. When the desired song number is selected the [1/R]
and [2/L] track button indicators will glow green if the corresponding
tracks contain performance data.
NOTE
• The songs can be made to play back and repeat either in sequence
or in random order when “ALL” is selected, depending on the setting
of the “All-song Random Repeat” function (page 28).
Start playback of the selected song by pressing the [PLAY] button.
Unless “ALL” is selected, the selected song will play through to the end
and playback will stop automatically. The current measure number will
be shown on the display during playback. It is also possible to play along
on the keyboard during playback.
NOTE
• The measure number display may not be accurate with some songs.
• It is possible to change the playback voice by using the panel voice
selectors during playback of the supplied PianoSoft demonstration
disk or an optional Disklavier PianoSoft disk. In this case the play-
back voice will become the same as the voice played via the key-
board. The playback voice cannot be changed when playing back
other types of disks (the keyboard voice can be changed).
Adjust the playback volume as required via the [MASTER VOL-
UME] control.
Although playback will stop automatically at the end of the song, it
can be stopped at any time by pressing the [PLAY] button.
When you’ve finished with the currently loaded disk, simply press the
disk drive EJECT button to remove it.
CAUTION
• NEVER eject a disk or turn the power off while the disk drive lamp is
on or a disk is playing back.
