Song Recording
The CVP-94/92 features comprehensive song recording functions
that allow you to record your own performances to floppy disks.
Three recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page
95), which lets you record quickly and easily; Track Recording
(page 98), with which you can record multiple instrumental parts;
and Chord Sequence (page 104), which lets you step-record Auto
Accompaniment chords.
The music you create by recording is called a song. Up to
approximately 60 songs can be recorded on a single disk, depend-
ing on the amount of data contained in each song. Before you can
record, however, you must “format” a new disk. (See page 94).
● Structure of a Song
A song can be made up of several instrumental parts, each assigned to
a different track, as shown in the example below.
Various confirmation, alert, and error messages may appear in the
display during operation. Refer to the “Messages” section (page 2 in the
Reference Manual) for information on the messages.
• Refer to “Handling Floppy Disks”
(page 7) for information on using
floppy disks.
• Songs recorded by the CVP-94/92
are saved as XG/SMF (format 0)
files. See page 8 in the Reference
Manual for information on the XG/
SMF (format 0) format.
• Recorded song data is not output
through the MIDI OUT terminal when
played back.
