Yamaha Clavinova CVP-59S Piano Owner's Manual PDF

IMPORTANT Check Your Power Supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage speci- fied on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage se- lector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a minus screwdriver to rotate the se- lector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

Taking Care of Your Clavinova Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:

1. Avoid Humidity & Heat Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Power-off Before Connecting Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

4. Handle With Care Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-79A/ 69/69A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided (CVP-59S).

5. Clean Carefully Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in electri- cal shock!

7. Electric Interference Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause inter- ference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

8. Check Your Power Supply Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a minus screwdriver to rotate the selec- tor dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

9. Name Plate Location The Clavinova name plate, including the units serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

10.Handling Floppy Disks Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection disks are write-protected and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save your recorded songs a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is sup- plied with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any

time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.

Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.

Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off. When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.

Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with the Clavinova.

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use Never open the disks shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal

magnetic surface will cause data errors. Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that

emits a strong magnetic field. Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or

sources of high temperature.

Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk. Avoid getting the disks wet. Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as

specified below: Storage temperature: 4 to 53C (39 to 127F). Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity. Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

Head Cleaning The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it even- tually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).

Data Backup It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 102). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)

Write protect tab closed (unlocked write enabled)

Write protect tab open (locked write protected)

The Music Stand

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the mu- sic stand built into its top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand. Flip down the braces on either side of the rear of the music stand so that they catch inside the protrusions on the top panel. Reverse this operation o lower the stand.

Preparation

Headphones One or two standard pairs of stereo headphones can be plugged in

here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker sys- tem is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either or both of the PHONES jacks.

CVP-79A CVP-69/69A/59S

PHONES

The Key Cover (CVP-79A/69/69A)

To open the CVP-79A/69/69A key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.

The Power Switch

After making sure that the Clavinovas AC cord is properly plugged into the Clavinova itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some areas), press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.

When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector indicator will light, the POP style selector indicator will light, and the display will appear as shown to the left.

The Keyboard & Polyphony

The CVP-69/69A/59S can play up to 32 notes at once while the CVP-79A can play up to 64. This number includes all notes being played at the same time in any single or combination use of dual, split, accompani- ment, and disk functions. Further variation occurs with 1-element and 2-element voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-element voices. The same applies to stereo voices. The voice list on page 116 shows all stereo, 2-element, and 1-element voices in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.

The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be con- trolled according to how hard you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice and the setting of the TOUCH SENSITIVITY parameter (page 91).

Keyboard Percussion

The Clavinova has 8 Drum Kits in the [DRUMS/PERC.] voice group which includes a range of drum and percussion voices as well as sound effects. When one of the Drum Kit voices is selected, you can play 72 different drums and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The drums and percussion instruments played by the various keys when the Stand- ard Kit is selected are marked by symbols above the keys.

See page 121 for a complete list of the instruments in each Drum Kit.

When a Drum Kit voice is selected only the keys with drum or percussion symbols printed above them will sound.

The TRANSPOSE, TUNE, and OC- TAVE SHIFT functions described on pages 91 and 92 do not affect the Drum Kit voices.

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sus- tained notes.

The CVP-79A damper pedal can be set for continuous (default) or on/off type damping control via the DAMPER MODE function (page 94).

CVP-69/69ACVP-79A CVP-59S

Damper Pedal Damper Pedal Damper Pedal

Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal CVP-79A/69/69A only)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse- quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sus- tain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

Left Pedal (Multi-function)

The left pedal has a number of functions which can be selected via the LEFT PEDAL function described on page 93. The damper and sostenuto pedal

functions do not affect DRUMS/PERC. voices where inappropriate.

Soft Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. The SOFT function is automatically selected when the POWER switch is initially turned on.

Start/Stop The left pedal performs the same function as the accom- paniment section [START/STOP] button. For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the Accompaniment section, pages 30 and 32.

Harmony On/Off Allows the Harmony function (page 41) to be turned on or off as required while playing so that harmony can be applied only to specific notes or phrases.

Registration + Steps through the registration memory locations so a completely different set of panel settings can be recalled each time the pedal is pressed. See page 60 for details on the registration memory.

Intro A/Fill to A The left pedal performs the same function as the accom- paniment section [INTRO A/FILL TO A] button. See pages 30 and 32 for details.

Intro B/Fill to B The left pedal performs the same function as the accom- paniment section [INTRO B/FILL TO B] button. See pages 30 and 32 for details.

Ending/rit. The left pedal performs the same function as the accom- paniment section [ENDING] button. See page 32 for details.

Break Pressing the left pedal produces a break in the accompa- niment for as long as the pedal is held. For details on the BREAK function, refer to the Accompaniment section, page 32.

Sostenuto The left pedal functions in the same way as the CVP- 79A/69/69A sostenuto pedal (see above).(CVP-59S only)

Accompaniment

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has 100 musical styles that can be used as a basis for rhythm accompaniment, or fully orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment (see Auto Bass Chord on page 34).

Accompaniment playback data is not usually transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. But it can be transmit-enabled via the MIDI 3 Send function described on page 97.

Style Selection

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59Ss 100 preset accompaniment styles are organized in 11 groups (see page 120 for a complete style list). Use the STYLE selectors to select the group from which you want to select a style. The corresponding style display will appear.

Use the PAGE buttons to select the page containing the style you want if more than one page is available, then press the LCD button corre- sponding to the desired style. You can also use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to select any of the styles within the selected group.

The display will automatically revert to the main play mode display after a few seconds if the [DISPLAY HOLD] button is not engaged (page 9).

The last style selected within each group will automatically be recalled whenever a STYLE button is pressed while the power remains on. The last selected style in each group can also be backed up even after the power is turned off via the Backup function on page 107.

The Pop Ballad 1 style is automatically selected when the power is turned on. However, the last-selected style can be recalled when the power is turned off and on via the Backup function on page 107.

There is also a [DISK/CUSTOM] but- ton that can be used to select styles loaded from optional Style File floppy disks or disks containing custom styles you have created yourself. See the Style File Load and Custom Style sections on pages 55 and 45 for de- tails.

Use the [ABC/SONG VOLUME] control to adjust the volume of the accompani- ment sound.

Single-Finger, Fingered Chord, and Full Keyboard Accompaniment

Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment consists of rhythm, bass and chords.

Fingered Chord accompaniment is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the auto accompaniment feature.

When the Full Keyboard mode is selected the Clavinova will automatically create appro- priate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard.

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)

Full-keyboard ABC When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. You dont have to worry about speci- fying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

Chord detection occurs at approxi- mately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords less than an 8th note in length may therefore not be detected.

The DUAL or SPLIT mode can be used with ABC.

NStop the Accompaniment ........................................................................

Press the [START/STOP] or [ENDING] button to stop the accompa- niment.

The [INTRO A/FILL TO A], [INTRO B/ FILL TO B], [MAIN A], [MAIN B], and [ENDING] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create pattern variations (refer to the Accompaniment section on pages 30 and 32 for details).

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has five accompaniment parts RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE. that function as follows:

RHYTHM This is the main rhythm part. The RHYTHM part usually plays one of the drum kits.

BASS The BASS part always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit the selected style acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.

CHORD This part provides the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. Youll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instru- ments here.

PAD This part plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.

PHRASE This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE part is used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

The volume of the RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, PAD, and PHRASE ac- companiment parts can be individually adjusted via the volume parameters accessed by the [MIXER] button. Select the part you want to control by first pressing the appropriate LCD button, then use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to set the volume as required. The normal volume level for any part (90) can be instantly recalled by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [] buttons while the desired part is selected. Several parts can be selected at once by pressing their buttons at the same time. The volume of all selected parts can then be adjusted simultaneously. The mixer parameters will disappear when the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time (or the [EXIT] button is pressed).

Some styles may not use all five parts.

The volume level can be adjusted in two steps intervals.

The Left Pedal & Harmony ......................................................................

If the Left Pedal Function is set to HARMONY ON/OFF (pages 27 and 93), harmonization of notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard only occurs while the left pedal is pressed. This allows you to combine normal ABC type performance with harmony as required.

CVP-79A

The Left Pedal HARMONY ON/OFF function is not effective when the HAR- MONY feature is off (i.e. the [HAR- MONY] buttons indicator is not lit).

One Touch Setting

The CVP-79A internal styles each have 4 different preset panel setups that can be recalled via the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button to create different musical textures. The CVP-69/69A styles have 3, and the CVP-59S styles have 1. The ONE TOUCH SETTING setups include settings for all of the follow- ing parameters:

Accompaniment Parameters

ZEngage the One Touch Setting Feature ...................................

The ONE TOUCH SETTING feature can be used either while an accompaniment is playing or prior to starting an accompaniment by sim- ply pressing the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button. The corresponding panel setup is recalled immediately. On the CVP-79A and CVP-69/69A other ONE TOUCH SETTING setups can also be recalled in the ONE TOUCH SETTING pop-up display by using the SELECT and LCD buttons.

To return to the settings that were active prior to engaging the One Touch Setting feature, re-select the style after selecting a different style (ABC will remain on however).

The One Touch Setting feature cannot be used when a [DISK/CUSTOM] style is selected.

ABC is automatically turned ON when the One Touch Setting feature is en- gaged.

The synchronized start mode is auto- matically turned ON if the One Touch Setting feature is engaged before starting the accompaniment.

If the STYLE SETTING parameter in the BACKUP function (page 107) is set to on, the One Touch Setting setup selection for each style will be retained in memory even when the power is turned off. This way the desired setup can be recalled immediately when the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button is pressed. (CVP-79A/69/69A)

Harmony will not be turned on if the ABC Full Keyboard mode is selected, even if the selected One Touch Setting setup includes Harmony ON.

Custom Style

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S Custom Style feature allows you to create original accompaniment styles that can be later recalled and played at any time, just like the presets. Up to 8 custom styles can be maintained in internal memory at the same time, and any number can be saved to disk for later reloading and use. The basic custom style recording procedure is outlined below.

Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom styles to disk before turning the power off.

One pre-programmed temporary style is automatically loaded into the [DISK/CUSTOM] memory whenever the power is turned on. (Memory is common to the Custom Styles and the loaded styles from the optional Style File disks page 55.)

ZEngage the Custom Style Feature .................................................

Press the [DISK/CUSTOM] style selector so that its indicator lights, then press the CUSTOM STYLE LCD button. The Please select a source STYLE. message will appear on the display for a few seconds before going to the CUSTOM STYLE page 1 display and the current [DISK/ CUSTOM] style will begin playing.

CSelect the Section You Want to Record ...................................

In the CUSTOM STYLE page 1 display, press the first LCD button as many times as necessary to select the section you want to program first: MAIN A, MAIN B, INTRO, FILL IN, or ENDING. The MAIN A sec- tion is initially selected.

Custom Style

In the CUSTOM STYLE, MAIN A, MAIN B, INTRO, FILL IN or ENDING are referred to as section, and RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, CHORD 1/2, PAD or PHRASE 1/2 are referred to as part.

Only one pattern can be created for each INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING section.

Whether the A or B variations of the INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING sections are used as the source pattern de- pends on whether the MAIN A or MAIN B section was selected when the Cus- tom Style function was engaged. (As for FILL IN, FILL IN from A to A, or FILL IN from B to B is used.)

VChange the Time Signature & Number Of Measures, If Required ................................................................................................................

If you want to create a style in a different time signature than the cur- rent style, or change the number of measures in the selected section, Press the PAGE [>] button to go to CUSTOM STYLE page 2.

Current recording section and part

Use the BEAT LCD button to select a different time signature, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons once the BEAT parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the beat value, the Clear STYLE ? prompt will appear, since you will have to completely clear all sections and parts of the style and start recording from scratch if you change the time signature. Press OK to clear the style, or CANCEL to abort. Once the style has been cleared you can select a new time signature as re- quired: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, or 5/4.

Custom Style

Use the MEAS. LCD button to select a different number of measures for the selected section, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons once the MEAS. parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the number of measures in the section, the Clear SECTION ? prompt will appear, since you will have to clear all parts of the currently selected section and start recording from scratch if you change the number of measures. Press OK to clear the section, or CANCEL to abort. Once the section has been cleared you can select a new number of meas- ures as required: 1 through 8. The FILL IN section has only 1 measure and the number of measures cannot be changed although the FILL IN section can be cleared using this operation.

Once the BEAT and/or MEAS. parameters have been set as required, press the PAGE [<] button to go back to the first custom style page.

BSelect the Part & Voice You Want to Record ......................

Use the PART LCD button, the data dial, or [+]/[] buttons to select the part you want to record:

R1 Rhythm 1

R2 Rhythm 2

Bs Bass

C1 Chord 1

C2 Chord 2

Pd Pad

P1 Phrase 1

P2 Phrase 2

The R1 part is initially selected and set to the record mode. Any part you select can be set to the record mode by using the rightmost LCD button to select REC after selecting the part ( the part number will appear white in a black box). Since parts other than R1 and R2 must be cleared before they can be recorded (if the source style is a preset style or a style loaded from the optional Style File disk) the Clear Part ? confirmation will appear if you select a part that contains data: press OK to clear the part and continue, or CANCEL to abort. Only one part can be set to the record mode. All other parts will be set to PLAY (part number surrounded by box) or turned OFF (part number only no box). Parts that contain no data are indicated by a dot in place of the part number.

48

Custom Style

At this point you can also select the voice you want to record with (the preset voice for that part will initially be selected). Only [DRUMS/ PERC.] voices can be used for the R1 part and only Drum Kit voices can be used for the R2 part, while any other voices can be selected for the remaining parts.

NRecord the Selected part..........................................................................

You can now add new parts to the selected part by playing the key- board at the appropriate timing (play in C Major seventh since the Cus- tom Style is recorded as a C Major seventh pattern). If you want to create a totally new part from scratch, press the CLEAR LCD button to clear the selected part before beginning to record. If both the R1 and R2 parts are cleared the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide (the met- ronome sound is not recorded). When a drum kit voice is used, a single drum instrument sound can be cleared from the R1 or R2 part by press- ing the key corresponding to the instrument to be cleared while holding the keyboard CANCEL (C1) key. The metronome timing guide can also be cleared in this way.

Playback can be started and stopped via the [START/STOP] button as re- quired while in the Custom Style mode data cannot be recorded while playback is stopped.

MQuantize the Recorded Part, if Necessary ............................

You can tighten up the timing of a recorded part by aligning all notes to specified beats via the PART QUANTIZE function in CUSTOM STYLE page 2 (press the PAGE [>] button). Press the LCD button be- low the note symbol to select quantize size i.e. the beats to which the notes in the current part will be aligned:

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear the entire style.

The timing guide will stop as soon as the Custom Style is stored.

The sound of all parts is automatically stopped at the end of the style i.e. at the point between repeats when recording. It is therefore not advisable to record over this point.

49

Custom Style

During Custom Style recording, no MIXER display is available.

Once the required quantize size has been selected press the START LCD button to actually quantize the current part. Playback will stop for an instant while the data is being quantized, then the START LCD button will change to UNDO, allowing you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once another button has been pressed.

<Repeat Until the Custom Style is Complete ........................

Repeat steps 3 through 7 until all parts or all sections have been re- corded as required.

Quantization can only be applied to the current recording part. Quantization cannot be executed if no part is set to the record mode.

>Name the Custom Style .............................................................................

When your custom style is complete, use the PAGE buttons to select CUSTOM STYLE page 3, and press the STYLE NAME LCD button to go to the style naming page.

The current style name appears in the upper right corner of the dis- play. Use the > LCD button to position the underline cursor at the char- acter you want to change (style names can be up to 12 characters in length). Use the data dial and/or the [+]/[] buttons to select the charac- ter you want to enter from the list in the center of the display, then press the c.set LCD button to enter the character at the current cursor posi- tion. Repeat this procedure until your name is complete. The c.del LCD button can be used to back up one space and delete a character.

When the name is complete press the OK LCD button to register the name for the current custom style, or CANCEL to abort.

50

Custom Style

?Store the Custom Style ..............................................................................

Press the STORE LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE page 3 to store the current custom style in the internal memory. The Store XXXXXXXX? confirmation prompt and MEMORY No. parameter will appear (XXXXXXXX is the style name). Use the MEMORY No. and LCD buttons to select the memory number 1 through 8 to which you want to store the custom style, then press OK to store or CANCEL to abort.

[Exit When Done ..................................................................................................

Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style mode and re- turn to the normal play mode.

Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom style before turning the power off see Save to disk on page 52.EXIT

The tempo setting at the time the Custom Style is stored becomes the preset tempo for that style.

If the selected memory number already contains a style, the style name will appear next to the memory number. The existing style will be overwritten when a new style is stored.

Other Custom Style Functions

In addition to the various functions described in the basic custom style recording procedure, above, the CUSTOM STYLE display pages include several other functions that you may find useful when creating custom styles.

Recall Section ......................................................................................................

This function makes it possible to recall the last-stored version of the currently selected section (all parts of the section are recalled). Simply press the RECALL SECTION LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE page 2. If the recall operation cant be carried out (i.e. The time signature has been changed), the Cant recall! alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previous display.

51

Custom Style

Style Clear ................................................................................................................

Press the STYLE CLEAR LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE page 3 to entirely clear the current custom style. The Are you sure? confir- mation prompt will appear. Press YES to clear the style or NO to abort.

Volume & Effects ...............................................................................................

CUSTOM STYLE page 4 includes a range of parameters that let you individually set the volume, reverb, effect, and pan for each part of each custom style section. Use the SECT. parameter to select the section (or ALL sections), and the PART parameter to select the part (or ALL parts). The third LCD button selects VOLUME, REVERB, EFFECT or PAN, and the VALUE (or DEPTH) parameter sets the amount or depth. When VOLUME is selected the SECT. parameter is fixed at ALL and the VALUE range is from 50 to +50, relative to the preset volume of the source style. The REVERB and EFFECT DEPTH ranges are from 0 to 100. The PAN VALUE settings are L10 (full left) C (center) R10 (full right). When EFFECT is selected the TYPE parameter appears and you can also select the effect type via the TYPE LCD button. The avail- able effect types are listed below.

Normally the preset VALUE and EF- FECT TYPE are initially selected. If PART is set to ALL, the R1 part preset values are displayed. If SECT. is set to ALL, the MAIN A preset values are displayed.

Effect type OTHERS may appear if the preset effect type is other than that of what is in the list.

Custom Style

Save to Disk ............................................................................................................

A complete set of 8 custom styles or individual custom styles can be saved to disk via CUSTOM STYLE page 5.

Once created, your original custom styles can be selected for play- back by pressing the [DISK/CUSTOM] button (its LED will light), and then using the STYLE and LCD buttons or the data dial or [+]/ [] buttons to select the custom style you want to play. The selected style can then be played and used with ABC auto accompaniment in ex- actly the same way as the preset styles (page 28).

Since only one type of INTRO, FILL IN, and ENDING section can be recorded for each Custom Style, no A/B varia- tions are produced during playback.

Playing Back Your Custom Styles

After making sure that a properly formatted disk is inserted in the Clavinova disk drive (page 98), use the MEMORY No. and but- tons to select the memory number of the custom style you want to save to disk, or ALL if you want to save a complete set of 8 custom styles. When this is done, press the SAVE LCD button to start saving the data to disk. At this point the name entry display will appear and you can enter a name for the Custom Style disk file in the same way as you entered a name for the Custom Style itself (page 49). Press SAVE when the name has been entered. If a file with the same name already exists the Same name! Overwrite? confirmation prompt will appear. Press OK to overwrite the existing file or CANCEL to abort.

Saved Custom Style files can be loaded via the STYLE FILE LOAD function described in the Style File Load section (page 55).

A single floppy disk can hold up to 60 song files (page 72) and 60 style files (the total number of files however, is approximately 110 files).

Your custom styles must be stored to internal memory before they can be saved to disk (see step 10 of the basic custom style recording proce- dure). If a custom style has not been stored and you attempt to save it to disk, the Please store before saving alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previous display (CUSTOM STYLE page 3), store the custom style, then try saving again.

Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style mode and re- turn to the normal play mode.

With Disk Orchestra Collection (DOC) disks the Clavinova will let you enjoy listening to automated performances, or function as your private music tutor, allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the others are played automatically. The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S also shows you which keys to play with keyboard guide lamps that light up above each key. You can also play in ensemble with the complete Disk Orchestra Collection arrangement.

Different displays will appear depending on the type of data being played. But any type of data can be played back by following the operation procedure described below. Also refer to the Playing Other Types of Music Data section on page 71.

Playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.

ZEngage the Song Play Mode ................................................................

The Song Play mode is engaged automatically when a song disk is inserted in the disk drive. Insert a disk containing songs youve recorded yourself or a DOC disk 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. Once the disk has been identified the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display will appear and the [PLAY] button indicator will light.

If a song disk is already inserted but the Song Play mode is not en- gaged, press the [PLAY] button so that its indicator lights and the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) appears.

Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback

XSelect a Song Number ................................................................................

The current song number and name will be shown on the display along with the currently selected tempo. Use the SONG LCD button to select the desired song number, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons. Select ALL if you want all songs on the disk to be played in order and re- peated until playback is stopped, or RANDOM to play back all songs on the disk in random order until playback is stopped.

If you first select ALL in display page 1, and then select a song in display page 4, all songs will be repeatedly played back starting from the selected song.

If you select a song in display page 1 or 4, and then select 1 SONG repeat mode in page 2, only the selected song will be played back repeatedly until stopped.

During Disk Orchestra Collection play- back the left- and right-hand voice can be changed by using the normal voice selection procedure (page 15). In this case the selected voice also becomes the keyboard voice. The selected voice is shown in the SONG PLAY page 1 display.

When playing back a song recorded on the Clavinova, only the keyboard voice can be changed. The keyboard voice name is shown in the SONG PLAY page 1 display.

Please note that playback may not immediately start while the Clavinova is searching the disk for a selected song after the START LCD button or the panel [START/STOP] button is pressed.

With some songs the displayed meas- ure numbers may not match those marked on the score.

Some songs start after a click count-in.

The playback tempo can be changed freely as required. The preset tempo for the selected song can be recalled at any time by pressing the TEMPO [+] and [] buttons simultaneously.

Some Disk Orchestra software does not produce a tempo display (e.g. free- tempo phrases, etc.). In this case, - - - will appear in place of the tempo on the display, and the measure num- bers shown on the display will not match the actual measure numbers of the song.

The keyboard guide lamps corre- sponding to the keys being played by the RIGHT and LEFT part (or PART 1 and PART 2) will light in real time. The keyboard guide lamps can be turned off via the LAMP LCD button in SONG PLAY display page 3.

Another convenient way to select a song for playback is to use the PAGE buttons to go to page 4 SONG PLAY [LIST] and use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to select a song from the list that appears on the display. Up to 8 song titles are shown on the LCD at a time. If more songs are on the disk, the next 8 titles will appear when you scroll past the last title shown on the LCD.

CStart/Stop Playback .......................................................................................

Start playback of the selected song by pressing either the START LCD button or the panel [START/STOP] button. Unless ALL or RANDOM is selected, the selected song will play through to the end and playback will stop automatically. The current measure number and tempo will be shown on the display during playback.

Playback can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP LCD but- ton (the START LCD button changes to a STOP button once the play- back has started) or the panel [START/STOP] button.

You can exit from the song play mode by pressing the [PLAY] button so that its indicator goes out, or by pressing the [EXIT] button.

Turning Individual Orchestra Parts On or Off Normally the ORCH (or OTHERS) LCD button turns all the orchestra parts (tracks 3 through 10 and the rhythm tracks), or all parts other than parts 1 and 2 on or off at once. You can, however, turn these parts on or off individually via the SONG PLAY [TRACK PLAY] display (SONG PLAY page 5).

When playing back Disklavier PianoSoft disks (see Playing Other Types of Music Data, page 71) only the RIGHT or RIGHT and LEFT LCD buttons will appear.

Playing Back Specific Parts

The RIGHT, LEFT, and ORCH LCD buttons (PART 1, PART 2, and OTHERS when an original song disk is being played) can be used to turn playback of the corresponding parts on or off. The buttons are highlighted when the parts are turned on. Use these buttons to select the parts you want to play back. You can, for example, turn off the right and/or left-hand parts so you can practice them on the keyboard. When an original song disk is being played, the tracks turned on and off by the PART 1 and PART 2 buttons can be specified via the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display (SONG PLAY page 6), described below. The default settings are: PART 1 = Track 1, PART 2 = Track (off).

ZSelect the TRACK PLAY Page..............................................................

Use the PAGE buttons to select page 5 the SONG PLAY [TRACK PLAY] display. The numbers of tracks which contain data are shown above the TRACK LCD buttons. Tracks which are enabled for playback are indicated by a box surrounding the track number. Tracks which do not contain data appear as dots.

All track numbers appear whether the tracks contain data or not when a Standard MIDI file song (see Playing Other Types of Music Data, page 71) other than the original song is se- lected.

XMute, Play-enable, or Solo Tracks as Required ...............

Use the TRACK < and > buttons to select a track (an underline cur- sor appears under the selected track). The data dial and [+]/[] buttons can also be used to select tracks. Use the PLAY/OFF button to mute (turn off) or play-enable the selected track. The track number box disap- pears when the track is muted. Any number of tracks can be muted at the same time to leave on the tracks you want to hear play-enabled. The voice used by the currently selected track is shown above the PLAY/ OFF button.

Select a track and press and highlight the SOLO LCD button to hear only the selected track. Press the SOLO LCD button again to disengage the solo function.

65

Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback

The default settings are: PART 1 = Track 1, PART 2 = Track (off). Tracks 1 through 16 can be selected for both parts 1 and 2, and part 2 can additionally be turned off. The same track cannot be assigned to both parts.

Part Assignment for Original Song Playback

Before an original song disk is played, specify the tracks to be turned on and off by the PART 1 and PART 2 LCD buttons via the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display.

Use the PAGE buttons to select the SONG PLAY [PART ASSIGN] display (SONG PLAY page 6), then use the PART 1 and PART 2 pa- rameters to assign the desired tracks to the corresponding parts. For either part the corresponding and buttons can be used to select a track, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons can be used once the parameter is selected.

Overall Song Playback Volume Control

The ABC/SONG VOLUME control can be used to control the over- all volume of song playback. Whenever a song is first selected, however, the maximum volume setting (=standard volume level setting) is recalled regardless of the position of the ABC/SONG VOLUME control. The song playback volume can then be adjusted as required.

If ABC is turned on during the playback of an original song that was recorded without ABC, the ABC/SONG VOL- UME control will affect the ABC sound rather than the song playback sound.

ABC cannot be used during playback of a song recorded with ABC or Disk Orchestra Collection playback.

Individual Part Volume Control & Voice Selection

Press the [MIXER] button while in the Song Play mode to access the song playback volume param- eters, and the voice selection parameter for the left- and right-hand voice when a Disk Orchestra Collection disk is being played. The MIXER display will disappear when the [MIXER] button is pressed a second time, or when the [EXIT] button is pressed.

Disk Orchestra Collection Disk Playback ..............................

During Disk Orchestra Collection playback the MIXER display has two pages. Page 1 includes the L&R volume and L&R VOICE param- eters. Use the L&R LCD button or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons once the L&R parameter has been selected to set the volume of the left- and right-hand voice. Use the L&R VOICE and LCD buttons or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons once the L&R VOICE parameter has been selected to select the voice used for the left- and right-hand parts.

When playing back Disklavier PianoSoft disks (see Playing Other Types of Music Data, page 71) only the L&R VOICE LCD buttons will ap- pear.

The voice change for the left- and right-hand parts by this operation does not affect the keyboard voice. But if you press the panel [VOICE] button, the result will be both the keyboard voice and the left- and right-hand part voice being changed simultaneously.

Page 2 of the MIXER display includes independent volume parameters for the RHYTHM, BASS, ORCH (orchestra), and KBD (keyboard) parts, and a PRESET LCD button that resets all volume parameters to 100. Any of the volume parameters can be selected and incremented by using the corresponding LCD button, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons can be used to increment or decrement the currently selected volume parameter. Press the [+] and [] buttons simultaneously to recall the default (100) volume setting. Several parts can be selected at once by pressing the cor- responding LCD buttons at the same time. The volume of all selected parts can then be adjusted simultaneously.

When a different song is selected the voice and volume settings will be reset to the default settings.

67

Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback

Original Song Disk Playback ...............................................................

During original song disk playback the MIXER display has 5 pages. The first four pages include independent volume parameters for each of the 16 song tracks. Page five includes the KBD (keyboard) volume pa- rameter and a PRESET LCD button. The volume parameters are adjusted in the same way as described above.

If ABC is turned on during the playback of an original song that was recorded without ABC, the MIXER display will function as the ABC part volume con- trol rather than the song part volume control.

Guided Right- and Left-hand Practice

With this feature, the Clavinova indicates the notes to play via the keyboard guide lamps and waits for you to play the appropriate keys before playing ahead, so you can learn to play the piece at your own pace. The guide lamps can be turned on or off as required. Two guide modes are provided:

Next Note: In this mode the guide lamps of the Clavinova indicate in advance, which note(s) you will have to play next. If you miss the correct tim- ing, the lamp(s) will start to flash while the Clavinova will wait until you play the correct keys. Only then the guide lamp(s) for the next note(s) will light up and you can quickly move your hands to the cor- responding area on the keyboard. This is the default guide mode.

Sound: Both the keyboard guide lamps and sound are used to guide you to the proper notes. In the Sound mode the Clavinova will play ahead for approximately one phrase and then wait until the appropriate notes, as indicated by the keyboard guide lamps, are played. If the appropriate notes are not played for a few seconds, the Clavinova will automati- cally play and repeat the phrase until it is played properly. This is an excellent way to learn to associate the keys with the notes they pro- duce.

When playing back the internal RAM data (see Recording Without a Disk, page 89) or the Standard MIDI File format 1 data (see Playing Other Types of Music Data, below) - - - will appear in the GUIDE MODE param- eter location and only the current notes to be played will be shown on the keyboard guide lamps i.e. the next notes will not appear.

The GUIDE MODE cannot be changed during playback.

When the DOC song recorded for the special guide mode is selected, the special guide mode for that song will be automatically engaged in this case neither of the NEXT NOTE or SOUND sections will be highlighted. But you can re-select the NEXT NOTE or SOUND mode by pressing the corresponding LCD button. (The NEXT NOTE or SOUND mode cannot be re- selected when not at the beginning of a song or when the PHRASE REPEAT or A-B REPEAT mode (page 69) is engaged.)

68

Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback

The GUIDE display appears automatically when the [GUIDE] button is pressed to turn the guide function on. If the guide function is already on, the PAGE buttons can be used to select the SONG PLAY [GUIDE] display (SONG PLAY page 3). Use the GUIDE MODE NEXT NOTE or SOUND LCD button to select the desired guide mode. The settings of the RIGHT and LEFT LCD buttons (or PART 1 and PART 2) in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) will then deter- mine whether the guide function operates for the left-hand part (part 2) only, the right-hand part (part 1) only, or both parts, as shown below.

When the guide function is turned off (i.e. the [GUIDE] button indicator is off) and the SOUND mode is selected, the guide lamps light in real time corre- sponding to the notes played by the left- and right-hand parts, when both the left- and right-hand parts are either on or off. If one or the other of the parts is off, the guide lamps correspond only to the part that is turned off. When the guide function is turned off and the NEXT NOTE mode is se- lected, both the current (flashing) and next notes (continuously-lit) are shown by the guide lamps if either or both parts are turned off. (If both parts are turned on, only the current notes are shown by the guide lamps.)

The guide part can be selected, the guide LAMP can be turned on and off, and the guide function itself can be turned on and off during playback.

Playback tempo can be set to any desired value after a song has been selected by using the TEMPO [+] and [] buttons.

The positions of the guide lamps do not change if the transpose function is used to transpose the pitch of the keyboard.

The [oPAUSE], [rREW] and [fFF] buttons will not operate during play- back when the guide function is in use.

The guide function may not work prop- erly with software which was not pro- duced for independent left- and right- hand playback.

Since the guide phrases used in the SOUND mode are automatically deter- mined by the Clavinova, they may not precisely match the actual musical phrases. Also, the phrases may be- come shorter when the guide function is used for both the left- and right-hand parts.

SONG

When you press the [START/STOP] button or the START LCD but- ton in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) to begin playback, the introduction will play automatically but then the Clavinova will stop and wait for you to play the correct note(s). The CVP-79A/69/ 69A/59S indicates the key(s) to be played via the guide lamps above the keyboard. As you play the appropriate notes, the piece will continue, pausing until you play the right notes each time.

If the guide lamps flashing above the keyboard distract you, or you want to try playing along without them, simply press the LAMP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE] display to turn the lamps OFF. Repeat to turn the guide lamps back on.

As with regular playback, the song will stop automatically when the end is reached, or it can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (SONG PLAY page 1) or the panel [START/STOP] button.

Repeat Functions

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S has a range of repeat functions that can be useful aids for learning to play diffi- cult passages. The repeat modes are all accessible via the SONG PLAY [REPEAT] display (SONG PLAY page 2). Use the REPEAT MODE and LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [+]/[] buttons to select the desired repeat mode: OFF, PHRASE, 1 SONG, or A-B REPEAT.

Phrase Repeat (Disk Orchestra Collection only) ...........

Use this function if you want to practice a specific phrase within a song, as indicated by the phrase marks on the Disk Orchestra Collection score.

When the PHRASE repeat mode is selected the PHRASE parameter will appear on the display. Use the PHRASE and LCD buttons, or the data dial or [+]/[] buttons once the PHRASE parameter is selected, to select the desired phrase number (refer to the Disk Orchestra Collec- tion book that comes with the Disk Orchestra Collection disk). Playback can be started and stopped as described above.

The ALL or RANDOM playback mode (SONG PLAY [MAIN] display) will be disengaged when any of the repeat modes is selected.

Any previously set repeat mode will be reset to OFF when a different song number is selected.

1 Song Repeat ......................................................................................................

When the 1 SONG mode is selected, any song selected and played as described above will play repeatedly until stopped by pressing either the STOP LCD button in the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display or the panel [START/STOP] button.

A-B Repeat ...............................................................................................................

This function allows you to specify any section of a song for continu- ous repeat playback.

When the A-B REPEAT mode is selected, A> and B point entry but- tons will appear on the display. While the song is playing, press the A> button once at the beginning of the section to be repeated and then press the B button at the end of the section to be repeated. Repeat playback will begin automatically from the A point as soon as the B point has been specified. The programmed A and B points are retained until a different song number or a different repeat mode is selected, and the A-B repeat playback can be started and stopped again by using the [START/STOP] button.

Disk Orchestra Collection & Song Playback

While playback is stopped or paused the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons can be used to step backward or forward through the song a measure at a time. Either button can also be held for continuous step- ping in the specified direction.

During playback the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons allow you to move rapidly in the specified direction for as long as the button is held. No sound is produced during [r REW] operation.

The [r REW], [f FF], and [o PAUSE] buttons do not function when playing with the guide function.

Using the [r REW] button may cause the voice, tempo, and/or volume to change.

Playing Other Types of Music Data

In addition to original songs and Disk Orchestra Collection disks, the Clavinova can also play back Yamaha Disklavier PianoSoft disks, disks containing Yamaha ESEQ format sequence data, and disks contain- ing songs recorded in Standard MIDI File format (SMF formats 0 and 1).

The Clavinovas internal tone generator is compatible with the GM System Level 1 voice allocation as well as the Yamaha DOC voice allo- cation.

The [r REW] and [f FF] buttons do not function with SMF format 1 data.

Yamaha ESEQ data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP- 55/65/75/83S/85A/ 87A/89) will normally be played back with the correct voices. It may be necessary, however, to change the voice numbers of the data to conform to the CVP 79A/69/69A/59S voice allocation when other types of data are played back.

Regardless of the type of software, only the following disk formats can be used: 3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format; 3.5" 2HD 1.44 megabyte format.

The SONG PLAY [MAIN] (page 1), [TRACK PLAY] (page 5), and MIXER displays differ depending on the type of data being played. The [PART AS- SIGN] display (page 6) will not appear when Disk Orchestra Collection or Disklavier data is being played.

72

Song Recording

The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S features a built-in sequencer which can be used to independently record up to 16 separate parts of a single musical composition. Each part is recorded on a separate song track. The music data that you record is stored on a 3.5" floppy disk loaded into the Clavinovas disk drive unit. Up to approximately 60 songs can be recorded on a single disk, depending on the amount of data contained in each song. Before you can record, however, you must format a new disk, as described on page 98.

A number of confirmation, information, prompt, alert, and error displays may appear during operation. See the MESSAGES on page 110 if you need more details on any of these messages.

The Clavinova records data using the SMF format 0 and the Clavinovas internal voices which include GM system level 1 compatible voice assignments.

ZInsert a Formatted Disk .............................................................................

If you havent already done so, make sure that a properly formatted disk is loaded into the Clavinova disk drive (see page 98), and that the disks write protect tab is set to the write position (tab closed).

If you insert an unformatted disk, Start disk format? will appear on the dis- play. Press OK to format the disk or CANCEL to abort.

SONG

CSelect a Song Number ................................................................................

Use the SONG and buttons, the data dial, or the [+]/[] buttons to select a SONG NUMBER between 1 and 60 for the piece you are about to record (up to 60 different songs, each with a different song number, can be recorded on a single disk). Make sure the song number you select has not already been used for a song previously recorded on the disk you are using.

If a song name appears along with the song number, the selected song al- ready contains data.

VSet the Track Modes as Required ...................................................

Two tracks (actually one track and a track group) are available for quick recording: KBD (keyboard) and ABC&RHY (ABC & rhythm). When the QUICK RECORD mode is first selected and a song that does not already contain data is selected, the KBD (keyboard) track will be set to REC and the ABC&RHY track will be set to OFF. In this state the Clavinova is ready to record the keyboard track only. If you also want to record rhythm and ABC accompaniment, use the ABC&RHY LCD but- ton to set the ABC&RHY track to REC, or press the panel [ABC ON] button.

If ABC is already on when the record mode is engaged, the ABC&RHY track will automatically be set to REC.

Harmony data can be recorded by turning the HARMONY mode on. Also, Dual or Split voices can be recorded by engaging the Dual or Split mode. (In this case the KBD part uses two tracks.)

When the ABC&RHY track is set to REC, or when the KBD track is set to REC and the ABC&RHY track is set to PLAY, the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide in the syn- chronized start mode before recording is started

When any track is set to REC, the amount of disk space available for recording will appear next to the tempo display (in approximate kilobytes). An empty 2DD/2HD disk should have about 696KB/1407KB (room enough for about 50,000/100,000 notes if no other data is recorded) respectively. When recording is started this display is replaced by the measure number display.

REC mode cannot be selected if the current song position is not the begin- ning of the song e.g. the [r REW] and [f FF] buttons have been used to change the song position.

MStop Recording ...................................................................................................

Stop recording by pressing the [START/STOP] button. When record- ing has finished and the recorded data has been written to disk, the mode of the recorded track will automatically switch to PLAY, indicating that the track is ready for playback.

<Play Back the Recording ..........................................................................

Press the [START/STOP] button to play back your recording. Play along on the keyboard if you like. During playback you can use the [o PAUSE], [r REW], and [f FF] buttons, as described on page 70. You can also change the playback tempo via the TEMPO [+] and [] buttons.

Playback will stop automatically when the end of the recording is reached, or you can press the [START/STOP] button to stop it at anytime.

Press the [RECORD] button so that its indicator goes out, or the [EXIT] button, to exit from the QUICK RECORD mode.

The Clavinova may continue to write data to the disk for a short time after you stop recording. DO NOT eject the disk while the disk drive indicator is lit or flashing.

You can enter a name for the recorded song, as described on page 87. (When a song has been recorded, a tempo- rary name SONG_XXX.MID (XXX is the song number) will be given to the song automatically.)

During recording the [ABC/SONG] volume control and the MIXER display will function as the recorded ABC and/ or keyboard part volume control.

New data cannot be recorded to songs recorded on other instruments, also any edit in the record mode is not possible.

The guide lamps do not light during recording.

[ABC ON] and/or [HARMONY] button indicator(s) automatically go out when the recording of these parts has fin- ished.

When recording has finished, the [EFFECT] is automatically turned off (but the recorded effect remains ac- tive).

XSelect the TRACK RECORD Page ..................................................

Use the PAGE buttons to select the TRACK RECORD page (RECORD display page 2). The status of each track is shown above the TRACK LCD buttons. Tracks which are enabled for playback are indi- cated by a box surrounding the track number, and tracks which are record-enabled are indicated by a filled box and inverse number. Tracks which do not contain data appear as dots.

CSet The Track Modes as Required .................................................

Use the TRACK < and > buttons to select a track (an underline cur- sor appears under the selected track). The data dial and [+]/[] buttons can also be used to select tracks. Use the REC/PLAY/OFF LCD button to record-enable, play-enable, or turn off (mute) the selected track. Only tracks which contain data can be play-enabled. The track number box disappears when the track is muted.

76

Song Recording

In the normal single-voice play mode only one track needs to be record-enabled at a time in order to record the keyboard part. If you in- tend to record using the DUAL or SPLIT mode, however, two tracks must be record-enabled only one or two tracks can be record-enabled at a time to record the keyboard part. If ABC accompaniment is turned on tracks 9 through 16 are automatically record-enabled (these are the tracks on which the ABC data is recorded). If the HARMONY function is engaged tracks 6 through 8 are automatically record-enabled (tracks 6 through 8 are used to record the harmony data).

The TRACK f LCD button can also be used to select the RHYTHM tracks (9 and 10) if you only want to record the rhythm sound. The cur- sors appear under the 9 and 10 tracks, and the REC/PLAY/OFF LCD button can be used to set them to record-enabled.

VSet All Performance Features As Required .........................

After setting the tracks to be recorded to the record-enable mode, set up all necessary performance features as required: voice, voice mode (normal, dual, or split), style, tempo, etc.

BStart Recording...................................................................................................

Unlike the QUICK RECORD mode the synchronized start mode is automatically turned OFF when the multi-track recording mode is en- gaged. You can, however, engage the synchro start mode at this point so that recording will begin automatically as soon as any key on the key- board is pressed. Otherwise press the [START/STOP] button to start recording on the specified track(s). The current measure number is shown on the display as you record.

The following parameters will be recorded in addition to notes you play:

Two tracks can be record-enabled only when the DUAL or SPLIT mode is ON, otherwise only one track can be record-enabled.

Track 10 (and 9 in some case) can only be used to record the internal rhythm sound and cannot be used to record the keyboard part. Also, the keyboard part should be recorded on a track other than those used for ABC, RHYTHM, and HARMONY.

When the RHYTHM, ABC, and/or HARMONY tracks are set to record- enabled, the synchronized start mode is automatically turned on.

When the RHYTHM tracks (9 and 10) are set to record-enabled, or set to play-enabled and other track(s) are set to record-enabled, the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide in the synchronized start mode before re- cording is started.

If ABC and/or HARMONY is already on when the multi-track recording mode is engaged, the corresponding tracks are automatically record-enabled and the synchronized start mode is automati- cally turned ON.

The data dial or [+]/[] buttons can be used to select the ROOT or TYPE once the corresponding parameter has been selected by pressing its LCD button. When a chord is entered via the keyboard the appropriate root and type appear in the corresponding parameter loca- tions. To enter a style change (style, section, and tempo) simply make the

ZEngage the Chord Sequence Function ....................................

After engaging the QUICK RECORD mode (RECORD display page 1) and selecting a song number, press the CHORD SEQ. LCD button. The CHORD SEQUENCE display will appear, ABC will be turned on, and if the FULL KEYBOARD mode is currently selected the FIN- GERED CHORD mode will be selected instead.

XMove the Cursor To the Entry Point ..............................................

As necessary, use the CURSOR < and > LCD buttons to move the triangular cursor to the point at which you want to enter a chord or style change.

The chord Sequence function cannot be used when no disk is in the disk drive.

The chord sequence data will replace any previous data on the ABC and rhythm tracks that was recorded in the quick record or multi-track record modes.

Up to 999 measures can be recorded using the Chord Sequence function.

The chord input resolution will be automatically selected according to the current style. For 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 time styles, one chord can be entered on every 8th note or 8th-note triplet. For other time signatures one chord can be entered for each measure.

One style change or section change (except Fill-in and Break) can be made at the beginning of each measure. The Button not valid! Enter at top of measure. alert display will appear if you attempt to enter the change in any other place than the top of measure.

ABC cannot be turned off after the chord sequence function is engaged. But the ABC mode can be altered between FINGERED and SINGLE- FINGER in the pop-up display by pressing the [ABC ON] button. The split point can also be altered.

appropriate selections in the normal way. Once the chord and/or style change has been entered, press the SET LCD button to actually input the chord and/or style change at the current cursor location. The loca- tion in the graphic measure symbol will become bold and the set data will be shown on the display: the time signature, the style name and section to the left, and the chord, tempo, and rhythm on/off status (see below) in the box to the right.

Continue entering chords and style changes in this manner until your sequence is complete. The data recorded by the Chord Sequence function is listed below.

Data Recorded By the Chord Sequence Function

Style Accompaniment Section (MAIN A & B/Intro/Ending/Fill-in/Break) Chord ABC part volume (MIXER settings) Tempo Rhythm on/off ABC/SONG volume (as an initial setting only)

The types of chords that can be entered are the same as those listed for the ABC fin- gered mode (see page 36). In addition - - - (i.e. no chord) can be entered via the TYPE LCD button. On-bass chords can be entered via the keyboard.

The number of each measure is shown to the left of the graphic measure symbols on the display.

See Chord Sequence Page-2 Functions, below, for other useful editing features.

If no chords are entered (i.e. chord type is set to - - -), the result will be a rhythm-only sequence.

A Break can be produced by both setting the chord type to - - - and rhythm sound to OFF (see Rhythm OFF/ON, below).

The same chord, as set previously (i.e. the same chord shown in the box), cannot be entered even if the SET LCD button is pressed.

Only data other than chord data can be entered by first moving the cursor and making the required changes without enter- ing any chord (the ROOT and TYPE LCD sections should be blank), and pressing the SET LCD button.

If a different style with another time signa- ture is selected after chords have been entered, the timing of the chords will be changed accordingly.

The chord sequence data now resides in tracks 9 through 16, and can be played back in the normal way. Add other tracks as required by using the standard track selec- tion and recording procedure. You can also record over individual tracks of the se- quence and replace them with original material if you like by using the standard track selection and record procedure.

The song recorded via the Chord Sequence function can be modified later by re-enter- ing the Chord Sequence mode and making the required changes. But please note that the track data recorded over by using the standard recording procedure will be re- turned back to the preset style data.

SONG PLAY [MAIN] display when playing back internal RAM memory song

If you accidentally record without loading a disk, make sure you use the SONG COPY function (described on page 102) to copy the recorded data to disk if you want to keep the recorded data (the internal RAM memory is not backed up). This is necessary because the internal RAM memory is cleared automatically when a Disk Orchestra Collection, Disklavier PianoSoft, Style File disk, or a disk containing songs recorded on a different instrument is loaded. The RAM is also cleared when an original song disk is loaded and a song is selected.

The Utility Functions

Keyboard

Transpose .........................................................................................................

The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of two octaves (from 24 through 0 to +24). Transposing the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to set the desired degree of transposition.

Octave Shift ......................................................................................................

This function includes three parameters which determine whether the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/ 1) will be shifted up or down one octave.

Press the LEFT, 2ND, or RIGHT/1 LCD button as many times as necessary to set as required:

1 Corresponding voice shifted down one octave.

0 No shift. (Default for the RIGHT/1 and 2nd voices.)

+1 Corresponding voice shifted up one octave. (Default for the LEFT voice.)

Touch Sensitivity ......................................................................................

The Clavinova can be set to one of five different types of key- board touch sensitivity to match different playing styles and prefer- ences. Press the KEY TOUCH button as many times as necessary to select the desired touch response setting.

SOFT 2 Allows maximum loudness to be produced with very light key pressure.

SOFT 1 Not as sensitive as the SOFT 2 setting, but maximum loudness can still be easily produced with relatively light key pressure.

NORMAL Produces a fairly standard keyboard response. (Default.)

HARD 1 Requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

HARD 2 Requires the keys to be played very hard to produce maxi- mum loudness.

The Touch Sensitivity setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param- eter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the NORMAL setting is automatically selected whenever the POWER switch is turned on.

Press the [] and [+] buttons simultaneously to restore normal keyboard pitch (0).

The Transpose setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the Transpose is always set to 0 when the power is turned on.

The transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit voices.

Notes below and above the original 88-key range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

The Octave Shift setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param- eter is turned on (page 107).

Notes below and above the original 88-key range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

In the normal play mode (i.e. single voice mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.

Sound

The Utility Functions

Tune .........................................................................................................................

The Tune function makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over about a 26-Hertz (100-cent) range in 0.2-Hertz intervals. A hun- dred cents equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. This function is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instru- ments or recorded music. Normal pitch is A3 = 440 Hertz.

Use the TUNE and LCD buttons to set the tuning as re- quired. The data dial and [+]/[] buttons can also be used once the TUNE parameter has been selected. The default value of 440.0Hz can be instantly recalled by pressing the TUNE and LCD but- tons simultaneously.

The Tune setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page TUNE/MICRO TUNING parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the tuning is always set at 440.0Hz when the power is turned on.

The Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit voices.

Pedal

Pan ............................................................................................................................

The pan positions of the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/1) can be individually set via the appropriate PAN parameters.

Press the LEFT, 2ND, or RIGHT/1 LCD button according to the voice you want to pan, then use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to set the pan position as required. The graphic bar shows the approximate pan position between full left (L) and full right (R). The default position can be instantly recalled by pressing the [+] and [] buttons simultaneously.

The pan setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter is turned on (page 107).

The default pan position for some voices is center, while some voices feature keyboard scaling i.e. the keyboard is spread across the stereo sound field (see the voice list on page 116). Both types appear in center position on the LCD. Any changes in the pan setting are then relative to the default posi- tion.

The Drum Kit voices have special pan set- tings for each individual instrument.

The PAN setting affects all voices.

MIDI 1

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that al- lows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create systems of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. The MIDI parameters included in the CVP-79A/69/69A/59Ss three MIDI function pages provide extensive flexibility in adapting the Clavinova to just about any MIDI system.

The parameters contained in the MIDI 1 function page include the SEND CH, which determines the BASIC and LEFT/2 voice MIDI send channels, LOCAL control setting on or off, and the CLOCK set- ting internal or external.

Send Channel .......................................................................................................

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). This function sets the basic and left-hand/2nd MIDI send (transmit) channels of the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S. The LEFT/2 parameter applies to the left-hand voice in split keyboard setups and to the 2nd voice in the dual mode. All other keyboard data is transmitted via the BASIC channel. Both parameters can be turned OFF or set to any channel from 1 through 16.

Press the BASIC or LEFT/2 LCD button according to the channel you want to set, then use the data dial or [+]/[] buttons to set the chan- nel as required.

The Send Channel settings are re- tained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the default BASIC send channel is 1 and the default LEFT/2 send channel is OFF.

MIDI Reception The CVP-79A/69/69A/59S always receives MIDI data in the Multi- Timbre mode. This is a mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an external MIDI device.

95

The Utility Functions

Local Control ON/OFF .................................................................................

Local Control refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova key- board controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is Local Control ON since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned off, however, so that the Clavinova key- board does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI infor- mation is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the Clavinovas internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the Clavinova keyboard.

Press the LOCAL LCD button to alternately turn local control ON and OFF.

The Local setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is ON.

MIDI 2

The MIDI 2 function page contains the MIDI FILTER settings which can be used to turn transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI data on or off.

Clock ..............................................................................................................................

This function determines whether the Clavinovas auto-accompani- ment or song record/playback timing is controlled by the Clavinovas own internal clock or an external MIDI clock signal received from exter- nal equipment connected to the MIDI IN connector.

Press the CLOCK LCD button to alternately select the EXT. (exter- nal) or INT. (internal) clock mode.

The Clock setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is INT.

If the Clock Mode is set to EXT. and a MIDI clock signal is not being received from an external source, the rhythm, ABC and other clock-dependent fea- tures will not operate.

96

Program ......................................................................................................................

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change num- bers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Multi-Timbre mode voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The Clavinova will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly num- bered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change num- bers.

This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.

Press the PROGRAM LCD button to alternately turn program change number reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

The Utility Functions

The Program setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

Control ..........................................................................................................................

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the corre- sponding Multi-Timbre mode voice to be affected by pedal and other control settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). The Clavinova also transmits MIDI control change information when either of its pedals are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data recep- tion and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova to be affected by control change data received from an external device or vice versa.

Press the CONTROL LCD button to alternately turn control change data reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

The Control setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

Start/Stop ..................................................................................................................

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI start and stop com- mands received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the auto-accompaniment or song record/playback functions to start or stop in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button. The Clavinova also transmits MIDI start and stop commands when the corresponding func- tions are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel start/stop command recep- tion and transmission if you do not want the Clavinova to be affected by start/stop commands received from an external device or vice versa.

Press the START/STOP LCD button to alternately turn start/stop command reception and transmission ON (SEND&RECEIVE) and OFF.

The Start/Stop setting is retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the default setting is SEND&RECEIVE.

97

The Utility Functions

MIDI 3

The MIDI 3 function page contains the TRANSPOSE and SEND parameters which determine whether MIDI note data will be affected by the Transpose setting (page 91), and whether the ABC, rhythm, and harmony data will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

Transpose .................................................................................................................

The RECEIVE parameter determines whether MIDI note pitch re- ceived by the Clavinova will be affected by the setting of the Transpose function (see page 91), while the SEND parameter determines whether MIDI note pitch transmitted by the Clavinova will be affected by the setting of the Transpose function.

Press the RECEIVE or SEND LCD button to alternately turn transpo- sition of received or transmitted MIDI data ON and OFF.

Send ................................................................................................................................

These parameters determine whether MIDI data corresponding to ABC/rhythm and harmony playback will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. Press the ABC&RHY or HARMONY button to alter- nately turn transmission of the corresponding data ON (916ch / 68ch) or OFF. When on, the ABC and rhythm data is transmitted on MIDI channels 9 through 16, and the harmony data is transmitted on channels 6 through 8.

The Send settings are retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise both parameters are turned OFF.

If you intend to send the ABC/rhythm or harmony data via MIDI, it is a good idea to set the BASIC and LEFT/2 channels (page 94) to the different channels than the ones used for ABC/ rhythm (916) and harmony (68) data to avoid data conflict problems.

If either of these parameters is on, the ABC/rhythm and/or harmony data will be sent even if the BASIC send chan- nel is turned OFF.

The actual note number received or transmitted is not affected. The trans- position is produced by the MIDI con- trol change RPN coarse tune data.

The MIDI Transpose settings are retained in memory even when the power is turned off if the BACKUP page MIDI parameter is turned ON (page 107), otherwise the RECEIVE parameter is turned On and the SEND parameter is turned OFF.

98

The FORMAT page provides access to the Disk Format function which allows new disks or disks formatted on other equipment to be formatted for use with the Clavinova.

The Clavinova uses only 3.5" 2DD or 2HD floppy disks. We recommend that you use Yamaha disks. Before you can use a new disk for recording, the disk must be formatted so that the Clavinova can rec- ognize it and correctly write the music data onto it.

Messages

When a disk related function button is pressed (ex. [PLAY]) and there is no disk in the disk drive this prompt will appear. Put the proper disk in the drive and redo the proce- dure.

When renaming or copying the original song data this prompt will alert you in the event that there is no song data in the selected song number, or in the disk. Re-select a data-containing song, or put a disk with song data into the floppy disk drive.

This alert appears if there is no Registration Memory, Micro Tuning, or related data other than song data on the currently inserted disk when you attempt a file-related operation. Insert a disk with the proper data and do the procedure again.

This message appears when a new disk or a non Clavinova Formatted disk has been put into the disk drive. Press OK if you want to format the disk. Press CANCEL if you want to abort the formatting process.

The current disk is write protected and cannot be written to. Insert a disk that is not write protected and try the procedure again.

You have attempted to edit or record over a song that was made on another system (i.e. computer sequencer, etc.). Song data made on other systems cannot be edited or recorded over. You can however, edit or record over any song that you have recorded yourself on the CVP-79A/69/69A/59S.

A button that does not have a function in the current mode has been pressed. (ex. the [GUIDE] button has been pressed when the Song Play mode is not engaged.)

The disk drive heads are dirty and should be cleaned. Clean the heads with a commer- cially-available floppy disk head cleaner.

An error occurred while writing to or reading from the disk. Try the operation again; if the error occurs a second time the disk or drive may be faulty. If the drive has been used for some time the heads may be dirty. Clean the heads with a commercially- available floppy disk head cleaner. If the error still occurs with one disk and not others the disk should be considered faulty and discarded. If the error occurs with all disks the drive may be at fault. Refer the problem to your Yamaha dealer.

The disk operation (formatting, etc.) or data procedure is finished.

The disk is currently being accessed and must not be ejected from the drive.

When an operation such as DELETE is selected, this prompt will confirm that you want to go ahead with the operation. Press YES to continue or NO to abort the operation.

The currently loaded disk is full and cannot hold anymore data. Delete any unneces- sary data in the current disk, use a disk that has more available space or use a new disk. If this appears during song recording (in this case OK doesnt appear), recording will stop and recorded data up to that point will be saved automatically.

A single disk can only hold up to 60 files for each data type (song, style, registration, etc.). If this message appears, insert a new disk or delete any unnecessary files in the current disk. (Style Files cannot be deleted from the disk.)

A file with the same name exists. Press OK if it is OK to overwrite the original file with new data or press CANCEL to abort the operation.

Informs you of the number of times the disks must be exchanged when copying a song to a different disk before the song copy operation starts.

When copying a song from the source disk to another disk, this message will ask you to specify the song number to which the song is to be copied in the destination disk when it is first inserted.

Insert the source disk to be copied in the song copy to a different disk operation.

Insert the destination disk to be copied to in the song copy to a different disk opera- tion.

If the [EXIT] button is pressed prior to storing the recorded data in the CHORD SE- QUENCE function this confirmation prompt will appear.

In the Song Recording INITIAL EDIT mode, if the [EXIT] button is pressed prior to writing the edited data, this confirmation prompt will appear.

Only 2DD floppy disks can be used when converting data to the CVP Performance format or Piano format. If a 2HD disk is used this alert will appear.

After the song data has been converted to CVP Performance format or Piano Format this message will inform you as to the SONG No. into which the data was saved.

This message appears when the CUSTOM STYLE mode is engaged.

When you attempt to change the beat in the CUSTOM STYLE mode this confirmation prompt will appear.

When you attempt to change the number of measures in the CUSTOM STYLE mode this confirmation prompt will appear.

When the source style is a preset style or a style loaded from the optional Style File disk, if you are recording new parts in the CUSTOM STYLE mode prior to clearing data from parts other than R1 and R2, this confirmation prompt will appear.

When the STORE LCD button is pressed in the CUSTOM STYLE mode or when a new source style is selected prior to storing the current style data this confirmation prompt will appear.

When the [EXIT] button is pressed in the CUSTOM STYLE mode prior to storing the current style data this confirmation prompt will appear.

If the CUSTOM STYLE modes RECALL SECTION operation cannot be carried out, because the time signature has been changed, this alert will appear.

If the data has not been stored in memory before saving to disk in the CUSTOM STYLE mode, this will prompt you to store the data before proceeding.

If there is not enough memory to store the data in the CUSTOM STYLE store opera- tion, this alert will be displayed. It will be necessary to delete a style or simplify the current style before storing the new style.

Appears when DELETE is selected in the previous message.

The memory has become full during recording or editing in the CUSTOM STYLE mode. It will be necessary to simplify the style. If this appears during song recording (in this case OK doesnt appear), recording will stop and recorded data up to that point will be saved automatically.

Some Style Files are too large for the LISTEN function to handle in the STYLE FILE LOAD mode. In this case the data must be loaded into the internal memory in order to be played.

When you attempt to LOAD a Style File and there is not enough memory to hold the specified file this alert will be displayed. It will be necessary to delete a style before loading the new style.

As long as the Clavinova is regularly used, data is retained in memory. This message will appear if the power has not been turned on for quite some time (approximately one week). In this case all data will be initialized to the factory-preset values. This message also appears when you intentionally recall all the factory data by turning the power on while holding the C7 key (see note on page 108).

A problem has been detected in the hardware system during power up. Refer the prob- lem to your Yamaha dealer.

The Connectors

AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks ........................................................................................

The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinovas volume control or reverb effect.

These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone generator modules.

For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, al- lowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinovas internal amplifier and speaker system. For monaural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/ L+R jack.

Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connectors for system expansion.

Tone Generator

AUX IN L/L+RR

AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks..................................................................................

The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.

The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instru- ment amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or record- ing equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are com- bined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you dont lose any of the Clavinovas sound.

MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors (MIDI IN and OUT on the CVP-59S)...................................................................

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, se- quencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector provided on the CVP-79A, 69, and 69A re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing chaining of several MIDI instruments or other de- vices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).

An optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller can be plugged into this jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression doesnt affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk playback). Press the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.

Options

BC-8 Bench A stable, comfortable bench styled to match your Yamaha Clavinova.

HPE-160 Stereo Headphones High-performance lightweight dynamic headphones with extra-soft ear pads.

KC-883 Key Cover for the CVP-59S A convenient way to keep your keyboard clean and dust-free.

Some items may not be available in certain areas.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned On Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

2. No Rhythm, ABC, or Song Playback Sound Check the ABC/SONG VOLUME control setting. No sound is produced if it is set to the minimum posi- tion.

3. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

4. Intermittent Static Noise This is usually due to turning on or off a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.

5. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

6. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the setting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.
