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 inter-

nal circuitry.

2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and

close the key cover to protect the keyboard, or cover the keyboard with the dust cover provided.

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. Con-

tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.

5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-

rect 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.

● Name Plate Location

Stereo System

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.

• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is

NOTE

not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.

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.

The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System

The CLP-154S and CLP-155 feature high-performance stereo amplifiers delivering 20 and 30 watts per channel, respectively. The CLP-155 features a bass-reflex type enclosure with two 13-cm and two 5-cm speakers, while the CLP-154S houses a pair of 13-cm speaker units in a sealed enclosure.

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either

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 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 15.

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 PHONES 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.

Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in the “Default Settings” chart, below.

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.

Brilliance (CLP-155)

The [BRILLIANCE] button makes it possible to change the tonality or “timbre” of the selected voice to suit your musical requirements. Three settings are provided: MELLOW, NORMAL, and BRIGHT. To select one of these settings, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired setting lights.

NORMAL .....This setting produces the “normal” tone of the selected voice.

BRIGHT .......This setting creates a brighter, sharper tone.

MELLOW.....The MELLOW setting produces a rounder, softer tone.

The Pedals

The CLP-154S/155 has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

● Soft (Left) Pedal

Press the C7 key while holding the [BRILLIANCE] button to memorize

the current brilliance setting. The memorized setting will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is turned off, then the default setting (NORMAL) will be restored. To keep the memorized setting for longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a week.

If this setting is not memorized as described above, it is retained in

memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

notes played.

● Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

● Damper (Right) 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.”

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. When no REVERB effect is selected and a piano voice is selected, the damper pedal also produces a special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The CLP-155 damper pedal additionally features continuous damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the damper pedal down only part of the way.

Touch Sensitivity

Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. The different touch sensitivity settings are selected by using the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and [REVERB] buttons.

HARD (ROOM indicator) ...........The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maxi-

mum loudness.

MEDIUM (HALL 1 indicator)......The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. This is

the initial factory default setting.

SOFT (HALL 2 indicator) ...........The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively

light key pressure.

FIXED (No indicator lit)..............All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is

Transposition

The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately

1.2-cent intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

Using the Recorder

The CLP-154S/155 features a two-track recorder that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Since you have two tracks, you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like, to create complex, rich-sounding recordings. The recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain fun.

The recorder actually records the following data:

The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previouslyrecorded track. If you don’t want to hear the previously recorded track as you record, press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out.

• Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data on that track.

• The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback. It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.

• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop when playback is stopped.

• The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.

Clavinova

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows 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. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multiinstrument sounds.

This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to “record” MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automatically “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.

The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do much, much more. The CLP-154S/155 offers a number of MIDI functions that allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

● MIDI “Messages” Transmitted

& Received by the Clavinova

Note and Velocity Data

This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever a key is pressed, and the Clavinova’s internal AWM tone generator will “play” the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device.

Program Change Numbers

The CLP-154S transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 5, and the CLP-155 transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 7 when one of its voice selectors is pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device. The Clavinova will respond in the same way, automatically selecting the appropriate voice when a MIDI program change number is received. See “Program Change ON/OFF” on page 17 for information on turning program change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.

• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN

NOTE

terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the

Clavinova are as follows:

Control Change Numbers

Control Change data representing Damper pedal operation is transmitted by the Clavinova whenever one of these pedals is used. If the receiving device is a tone generator or another keyboard, it will respond in the same way as the Clavinova’s internal tone generator when one of the pedals is used. The Clavinova also receives and responds to the appropriate control change data. See “Control Change ON/OFF” on page 18 for information on turning control change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.

Tone Generator

(Set to receive on MIDI channel 2)

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An “OMNI” receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (except when receiving mode messages).

Other MIDI Functions

The MIDI functions listed to the right

are engaged by holding down the [MIDI/ TRANSPOSE] button and pressing the corresponding voice selector. Full details are given in the following pages.

● Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova keyboard 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 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information 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.

When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.

● The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode

▼

In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The “split point,” or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano (Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line or string section with the left hand.

When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-hand section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the “basic channel” (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection function described previously).

This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

Factory Preset Recall

POWER

Troubleshooting

If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following

points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON

Is the AC plug properly connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

All dual mode, reverb, brilliance (CLP-155), touch sensitivity, and pitch

control settings can be restored to their original factory preset values by holding the C7 key while turning the [POWER] switch ON. This also erases all recorder data.

2. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound

This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

Keyboard Stand Assembly

• We do not recommend attempting to assemble the

NOTE

Clavinova alone. The job can be easily accomplished, however, with only two people.

• Use only the screws provided or replacements of exactly the specified size. Using screws of the wrong size can result in damage to the instrument.

Z Open the box and remove all the parts.

On opening the box you should find the parts shown in the illustration above. Check to make sure that all the required parts are provided.

Assemble the side panels (D) and feet

(E).

Secure the feet (E) to the side panels (D) with the 5 x 40 millimeter long gold-colored screws 1 (3 each), making sure that the cutouts on the feet face the bracket side of the side panels.

Attach the side panels (D) to the pedal

box (C).

Before installing the pedal box, untie and straighten out the bundled cord attached to the bottom of the pedal box.

Place the pedal box on top of the brackets attached to the side panels (D), and attach using the four 6 x 18 millimeter round-head screws 2 — two screws on each side. Make sure the pedals extend in the same direction as the feet.

CLP-154S

Cord holder Kabelhalter Support de cordon Soporte del cable

N Connect the pedal cord.

Pass the pedal cord through the two cord holders on the side panel. Plug the free end of the cord into the connector on the bottom of the main unit (A). The plug only goes in one way (the lug on the CLP-155 connector should face the rear of the main unit, while that on the CLP-154S connector should face the opposite leg, as shown in the illustrations) — don’t try to force it in the wrong way around.

MSet the adjuster.

For stability, an adjuster is provided on the bottom of the pedal box (C). Rotate the adjuster until it comes in firm contact with the floor surface. The adjuster ensures stable pedal operation and facilitates pedal effect control. If the adjuster is not in firm contact with the floor surface, distorted sound may result.

IMPORTANT

• After assembling the Clavinova, check once more to make sure that all screws have been securely fastened.

• If the stand leans to the side, makes unusual noises, or otherwise seems unstable during use, check and tighten all screws while following the assembly instructions given above.

Cord holder Kabelhalter Support de cordon Soporte del cable

N Schließen Sie das Pedalkabel an.

Sichern Sie das Pedalkabel in den beiden Kabelhaltern an den Seitenwänden. Der Stecker wird an die zugehörige Buchse an der Unterseite der Tastatureinheit (A) angeschlossen. Der Stecker paßt nur in einer Richtung in die Buchse (beim CLP-155 muß die Führungsnase nach hinten weisen und beim CLP-154S in Richtung der gegen-

überliegenden Seitenwand — siehe Abbildung). Versuchen Sie nicht, den Stecker falsch herum mit Gewalt in die Buchse zu drücken!

Justieren Sie schließlich noch den

Höhenversteller.

Zur Stabilisierung ist an der Unterseite des Pedalkastens (C) ein Höhenversteller vorgesehen. Schrauben Sie den Höhenversteller heraus, bis er fest auf dem Fußboden steht. Der Höhenversteller sorgt für stabile Pedalbetätigung und ermöglicht eine präzise Regelung des Betätigungshubs. Wenn er nicht fest auf dem Boden steht, können beim Treten der Pedale Klangverzerrungen auftreten.

WICHTIG

• Vergewissern Sie sich nach Zusammenbau und Aufstellung des Clavinova noch einmal davon, daß alle Schrauben fest angezogen sind.

• Wenn der Ständer schief steht, komische Geräusch erzeugt oder sich beim Spielen wackelig anfühlt, prüfen Sie gemäß den unter “Zusammenbau und Aufstellung” gegebenen Anweisungen, ob der Ständer richtig zusammengebaut wurde, und ziehen dabei die einzelnen Schrauben noch einmal nach.

N Connectez le cordon du pédalier

Faites passer le cordon du pédalier dans les deux supports de cordon situés sur le panneau latéral. La prise doit être branchée au connecteur correspondant situé à la partie inférieure du clavier (A). La prise ne peut être branchée que dans un seul sens (la languette de la prise du CLP-155 doit être dirigée vers l’arrière du clavier, alors que celle de la prise du CLP-154S doit être dirigée vers l’autre pied, comme montré sur les illustrations) et n’essayez donc pas de la forcer pour la mettre en place du mauvais côté.

N’oubliez pas de régler la hauteur du

pédalier

Pour assurer la stabilité du pédalier (C), un dispositif de réglage a été prévu à sa partie inférieure. Tournez ce dispositif jusqu’à ce qu’il soit en contact ferme avec la surface du sol. Ce dispositif assure la stabilité du pédalier lors de son utilisation et facilite la commande au pied des effets. Si ce dispositif n’est pas en contact ferme avec le sol, il pourra se produire une distorsion du son.

IMPORTANT

• Après avoir assemblé le Clavinova, vérifiez une fois de plus que toutes les vis sont bien serrées.

• Si le support du clavier penche d’un côté, fait du bruit ou semble instable lorsque vous utilisez l’instrument, vérifiez de nouveau et resserrez toutes les vis en suivant les instructions d’assemblage données cidessus.

N Conecte el cable de los pedales.

Pase el cable de los pedales a través de los dos soportes de cable del panel lateral. La clavija puede enchufarse en el conector correspondiente de la parte inferior de la unidad principal (A). La clavija se enchufa sólo en una dirección (la lengüeta del conector de la CLP-155 debe quedar encarada a la parte posterior de la unidad principal, mientras que en el conector de la CLP-154S debe quedar enca-

rada a la pata opuesta, como se muestra en las ilustraciones), por eso no la fuerce en la dirección errónea.

MAsegúrese de ajustar el ajustador.

Para la estabilidad del aparato, se proporciona un ajustador en la parte inferior de la caja de pedales (C). Gire el ajustador hasta que contacte firmemente con el suelo. El ajustador asegura una operación estable de los pedales y facilita el control del efecto de los pedales. Si el ajustador no contacta firmemente con el suelo, puede resultar en sonido distorsionado.

IMPORTANTE

• Después de montar la Clavinova, compruebe otra vez para asegurarse de que todos los tornillos se han apretado bien.

• Si el soporte se inclina hacia un lado, hace ruidos anormales, o parece inestable durante la utilización, compruebe y apriete todos los tornillos mientras sigue las instrucciones de montaje de arriba.
