– Playing and Practice Songs –

For the Clavinova, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available music files,

etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback.

There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

• MIDI Song

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself.

The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a

musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the

corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can

practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.

• Audio Song

An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in

recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. You can play commercially available music on this instrument (as

long as the files have been converted to WAV or MP3 format), just like you do on a portable music player.

Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons indicate

whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.

Example: … Indicates explanation applies only to MIDI Songs.

You can play back the following types of Songs.

• Preset Songs (MIDI Songs)

• Your own recorded Songs (see page 66 for instructions on recording)

• Commercially available Songs: MIDI files in SMF (Standard MIDI File) format,

Audio files in WAV or MP3 format.

If you want to play back a Song in USB flash memory, connect the USB flash memory

containing Song data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.
