Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-122S Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure.

Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic voices.

Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and outstanding playability.

Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.

Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.

Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and soundboard resonance of acoustic pianos.

MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced MIDI music systems.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.

Taking Care Of Your Clavinova

Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.

1Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.

2Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and cover the keyboard with the key cover provided.

3Clean 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.

4Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.

5Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.

6Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects.

7Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate.* In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area.

*Name Plate Location

The CLP-122S name plate is located on the bottom panel.

2 AUX OUT R and L/L+R Jacks

AUX. OUT

R L/L+R

These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers.

The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording 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 leftand right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.

HEADPHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).

More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 14.

Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the HEADPHONES jacks.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Settings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.

The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a PIANO 2/ CLAVINOVA TONE combination PIANO 2 is the left voice and CLAVINOVA TONE is the right voice.

Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave. To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same way to shift the left voice.

All voice combinations are set to the same octave by default.

Reverb

The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power.

To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off.

OFF ............

When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural

 

damper effect is applied to the piano voices. This simulates the natural resonance of

 

an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed.

ROOM ........

This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of

 

acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.

HALL 1 ......

For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natu-

 

ral reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.

HALL 2 ......

For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the

 

natural reverberation of a large concert hall.

COSMIC ....

The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and

 

animation to your music.
