●Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
●Split mode (CLP-511) allows different voices to be played by the left and right hands.
●Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
●Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
●Digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard (up to approximately 4,200 notes).
●MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced MIDI music systems.
●Built-in computer interface for direct connection to personal computers running advanced music software.
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.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
3 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.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects.
7 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 selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
●Name Plate Location
The CLP-411/511 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

6[REVERB] Button
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power. See page 12 for details.
7[EFFECT] Button
This button engages a chorus effect which can give your sound greater depth and animation.
8[TOUCH] Button
The [TOUCH] button makes it easy to adjust the touch response of the Clavinova to match your playing style. See page 14 for details.
9Voice Selectors & [VARIATION] Button
The CLP-411 has seven voice selectors and a [VARIATION] button, and the CLP-511 has nine voice selectors and a [VARIATION] button. Simply press any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding voice. The voice selector LED will light to indicate which voice is currently selected. Press the [VARIATION] button so that its indicator lights to select a variation of the currently selected voice.
There is also a dual mode in which two voices can be played simultaneously across the full range of the keyboard (see page 10 for details), and a split mode on the CLP-511 which allows different voices to be played by the left and right hands (see page 11 for details).

Turns the metronome sound on and off. The [TEMPO/SONG] buttons, below, are used to set the tempo of the metronome sound, and the volume of the metronome sound if used while the [METRONOME] button is held — page 16.
![TEMPO/SONG] (–/NO, +/YES) Buttons
These buttons adjust the tempo of the metronome function as well as the playback tempo of the recorder function. The tempo range is from 32 to 280 beats per minute — page 16. These same buttons are also used to select a piano song number for playback — page 7. The [TEMPO/ SONG] buttons are also used to adjust a range of other parameters (i.e. their “–/NO” and “+/YES” functions).
@[DEMO/PIANO SONG] Button
Activates the demo playback mode in which you can select playback of different demonstration sequences for each of the Clavinova’s voices, and a range of 30 piano songs. See page 7 for details.
#RECORDER [START/STOP] and [REC] Buttons
These buttons control the Clavinova’s recorder, letting you record and play back just about anything you play on the keyboard — up to a maximum of about 4,200 notes. See page 17 for details.
$RECORDER [1] and [2] Buttons (CLP-511)
The CLP-511 has a 2-track recorder, and these buttons are used to select the track(s) to be recorded or played back. See page 17 for details.
%Pedals
The soft (left), sostenuto (center) and damper (right) pedals provide a range of expressive control capabilities similar to the pedal functions on an acoustic piano. See page 13 for details.
If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, then flip down the music stand braces and engage them with the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting it and folding the two brackets which support it against the back of the stand.
To open the CLP-511/411 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.

1AUX IN L and R Jacks (CLP-511: L/L+R and R)
These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the AUX IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers. A line-level mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack on the CLP511.
NOTE • The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
2AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks
The AUX OUT L/L+R and 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.
NOTE • The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.
3MIDI IN, THRU (CLP-511) and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector provided on the CLP511 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 26.
4TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch
This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need for a separate MIDI interface. See page 30 for details.

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. This is the default reverb setting.
HALL 1
For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural 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.
STAGE
A simulation of the type of reverb produced in a stage environment.
Adjusting Reverb Depth .........................................................................
The depth of the selected reverb effect can be adjusted for the current voice by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20 (the current depth setting appears on the LED display while the [REVERB] button is held). A setting of “0” produces no effect, while a setting of “20” produces maximum reverb depth. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously while holding the [REVERB] button to recall the default setting: “10”.
NOTE • The reverb type and depth settings affect all voices.

The Pedals
The CLP-411 and CLP-511 have three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Soft pedal
Damper pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Soft (Left) Pedal ...............................................................................................
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes which are already playing when it is pressed.
The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation via the “Left Pedal Mode” described on page 25.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal ......................................................................
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 subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”
Damper (Right) Pedal ................................................................................
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 sustained notes.
