IMPORTANT

—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 selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.

For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

WICHTIG

—Überprüfen Sie Ihren Netzanschluss—

Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Spannung in Ihrem örtlichen Stromnetz mit der Spannung übereinstimmt, die auf dem Typenschild auf der Unterseite des Instruments angegeben ist. In bestimmten Regionen ist auf der Unterseite des Keyboards in der Nähe des Netzkabels ein Spannungswähler angebracht. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Spannungswähler auf die Spannung Ihres lokalen Stromnetzes eingestellt ist. Dieser Spannungswähler ist bei Auslieferung auf 240 V eingestellt. Sie können die Einstellung mit einem Schlitzschraubenzieher ändern. Drehen Sie dazu den Wählschalter, bis der Pfeil auf dem Instrument auf die richtige Spannung zeigt.

Weitere Informationen über die Montage des Keyboard-Ständers erhalten Sie in den Anweisungen am Ende dieses Handbuchs.

IMPORTANT

—Contrôler la source d'alimentation—

Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l'instrument peut être équipé d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du cordon d'alimentation.

Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.

Pour obtenir des informations sur l'assemblage du support du clavier, reportez-vous aux instructions à la fin de ce manuel.

IMPORTANTE

—Verifique la alimentación de corriente—

Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior. En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza "recta" para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

Para información sobre el montaje del soporte del teclado, consulte las instrucciones al final de este manual.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

ENGLISH

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

Do not open

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

Assembly

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.

Location

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still ﬂowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

CLP-240/230 Owner’s Manual

Page 7

Connections

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

• In the case of a model with a polished ﬁnish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's ﬁnish.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your ﬁngers, and do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• In the case of a model with a polished ﬁnish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the ﬁnish to crack or peel. Use caution.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Using the bench (If included)

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• The panel settings and certain other types of data will be lost if the power is turned off before they have been saved. Be sure to save (back up) data you want to keep to the internal Flash Memory before turning off the power (page 55). Keep in mind that this data is for temporary backup purposes and may be inadvertently lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Make sure to save all your important data to computer for permanent safekeeping (page 62).

ENGLISH

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Panel Controls and Terminals

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-240/230 digital piano provides natural, expressive grand piano sound and playability, and features Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-240)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-230)” tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices. The CLP-240/230 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The CLP-240 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” (page 51) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-240/230 also utilizes a “GH3 (Graded Hammer 3)” Keyboard that varies the key weight according to the key range. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. With these features, the CLP-240/ 230 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the Clavinova

Tu rning the Power On

1.Connect the power cord.

Insert the plugs at the ends of the cord, one into the AC INLET on the Clavinova, and the other into a standard AC outlet. In some areas, a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conﬁguration of the AC wall outlets in your area.

(bottom surface)

(The shape of plug differs depending on locale.)

CAUTION

Make sure your CLP-240/230 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears 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. Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard! Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-240/230. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a ﬁre and shock hazard! The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-240/230 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin conﬁguration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the CLP-240/230. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Voice:

On the Clavinova, a voice means a “tone” or “tonal color.”

Selecting & Playing Voices

Using the Pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

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 sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. When you select the GRAND PIANO 1 voice on the CLP240, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the

ENGLISH

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the damper pedal to create partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.















When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 67).

NOTE

The depth of the effect produced by the “Sustain Samples” can be adjusted via the “Pedal Functions” (page 51) in Function mode.

NOTE

When the DDE effect is on, you can hear a simulation of the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as you press the damper pedal and play the keyboard (page 22).

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 sustain as long as you hold the pedal (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.”

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 that are already playing when it is pressed.

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.









NOTE

Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.

[VARIATION] (CLP-240)

Lets you alter another aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type. Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 71 for more information on the characteristics of each variation.

Procedure

Pressing the [VARIATION] or selected voice button toggles the variation on and off. The indicator lights (ON) each time the [VARIATION] button is pressed.

[BRILLIANCE]

This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.

BRIGHT: Bright tone NORMAL: Standard tone MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone

Procedure

To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among ﬁve types. When two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance setting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire sound of the instrument.

TERMINOLOGY

Normal setting:

The “Normal setting” refers to the default setting (factory setting) obtained when you ﬁrst turn on the power to the Clavinova.

NOTE

The left pedal can be assigned to ON or OFF the variation via the “Left Pedal Mode” function described on page 51 (CLP-240).

NOTE

Normal setting = NORMAL

NOTE

When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level.

ENGLISH

[REVERB]

This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.

OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit. ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the

acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.

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

the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.

HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-

lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.

STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.

NOTE

The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice.

CLP-240/230 Owner’s Manual

Touch Sensitivity – [TOUCH]

You can select four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — to match different playing styles and preferences.

HARD: Requires that the keys be played quite hard to produce maximum loud-

ness.

MEDIUM: Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. SOFT: Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pres-

sure.

FIXED: All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the key-

board is played. (No indicators are lit.) The ﬁxed volume can be changed.

Tr ansposition – [TRANSPOSE]

The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP240/230 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the CLP240/230 allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to the instrument. On the CLP-240, the User songs can be saved to an optional USB storage device.

TERMINOLOGY

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. The Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

Recording Your Performance

NOTE

You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording device via the AUX OUT jack (page 56).

ENGLISH

Recording a performance quickly

ENGLISH

3. Start recording.

Press the [REC] button to engage Record Ready mode. This automatically selects an empty song for recording and makes the RIGHT part active. If an empty song does not exist, Song U01 will be selected. Recording does not actually start yet. The amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes. The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will ﬂash at the current METRONOME tempo setting.

You can turn on the metronome in this step, and adjust the tempo by using the

[TEMPO/FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons. (Range: 32-280)

Record Ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button again.

Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The current measure’s number will appear on the display while recording.

NOTE

The amount of memory available for recording:

This value in kilobytes (a unit used of measurement for data) indicates how much space remains available for recording on the Clavinova. You can record up to a maximum of about 11,000 notes on the CLP-240/230 depending on pedal usage and other factors.

NOTE

If you have selected the LEFT part previously in the same song, the LEFT part will automatically be made active when pressing the [REC] button in step 2.

NOTE

If the metronome was on when you started recording, you’ll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded.

NOTE

For more recording information, see page 33.

4. Stop recording.

Press either [REC] or SONG [STOP] button to stop recording. When recording is stopped, dashes appear in the display in succession to indicate that the recorded data is being saved to the instrument automatically. After the data is saved, the song name (U01-U03) appears in the display. The recorded part’s indicator will glow green to indicate that it now contains data. (Record mode is disengaged automatically.)

CAUTION

Do not turn off the power of the instrument when dashes appear in the display in succession. Doing so may delete all song data in the instrument, including external songs (page 40).

5. Play back the recorded performance.

Press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to play back the recorded performance. To stop playback in the middle of a song, press the SONG [STOP] button.

NOTE

The left pedal can be assigned to start recording via the “Left Pedal Mode” function described on page 51.

NOTE

The record part indicator will begin to ﬂash when the recorder memory is almost full. If the memory becomes full during recording, “Full” will appear on the display and recording will stop automatically. (All recorded data up to that point will be retained.)

NOTE

Pressing the SONG [PLAY/ PAUSE] button to start recording,

then pressing the SONG [STOP] button to stop recording will erase all previously- recorded data on the selected part.

Since the User songs are saved in a special Clavinova format, they cannot be played back on other instruments, including other Clavinovas. With this ﬁle format, you can re-record each part on the CLP-240. Songs cannot be directly played back from the USB storage device; they must ﬁrst be loaded to the instrument. For details on the save operation, see “Saving Songs” on page 36.

Before handling songs with a USB storage device, make sure that the device is not protected. If the device is protected, you cannot access it.

If there is not enough capacity left on the USB storage device to save or export the data, an appropriate message will appear on the display and you will not be able to save or export the data. Delete unwanted ﬁles from the device to make more memory available (page 38), or use another device.

The “A” indication at the top of the User ﬁle name means “All” — all three songs in the instrument are saved into one container.

The ﬁle numbers which can be handled in this instrument are 100 ﬁles.

Export

You can export a User song in the instrument to the USB storage device as a single ﬁle (SMF song). Songs can be exported to a “container” (or memory location) in the USB storage device. 100 containers are available — S00-S99. Since the User songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other instruments, including other Clavinovas. With this ﬁle format, you cannot re-record on the CLP-240. Songs in this format can be directly played back from the USB storage device, and do not need to be previously loaded to the instrument. For details on the export operation, see “Exporting a Song in SMF format” on page 37.

TERMINOLOGY

SMF (Standard MIDI File):

The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence ﬁles allows you to exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are exported as SMF Format 0.

Sequence formats that can be played on the CLP-240/230

• SMF (Standard MIDI File) Formats 0 and 1

The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence ﬁles allows you to exchange song data between different sequencers. User songs recorded on the CLP-240 are exported as SMF Format 0.

• ESEQ

This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. In the ESEQ ﬁles, only DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) ﬁles and Disklavier Piano Soft songs can be played back on this instrument.

50 Piano Preset Songs in the instrument.

User songs which you recorded to the instrument by using the record function (page 29).

User ﬁles which you saved recorded song data to the USB storage device (page 35).

SMF songs which you exported recorded song data to the USB storage device (page 35).

Commercially available songs or songs which have been edited on a computer, etc. and stored to a USB storage device. Up to 999 songs can be played back on this instrument (numbers 001-999).

Songs transferred from a computer (including commercially available songs and songs which have been edited on a computer). Songs can be transferred (saved) to the instrument by using the included Musicsoft Downloader software. The songs are saved to an area of the internal memory separate from the area for recorded User songs. Up to 255 songs can be played back on this instrument (numbers 001-255).

NOTE

You cannot select songs in Demo Song mode (page 14) or during ﬁle operations (page 35).

NOTE

When playing back songs containing various voices or parts (such as XG or GM songs), the voices may not sound correct or as intended on the original. You may be able to remedy this and make the playback sound more natural or appropriate by changing the Song Channel Selection setting (page 51) to “1&2,” so that only channels 1 and 2 will play back.

NOTE

If the song cannot be selected or loaded, you may need to change the Character Code setting (page 55).

NOTE

Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However, channels 3-16 of DOC songs, Disklavier Piano Soft songs, and non-protected External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting (page 51).

NOTE

Appropriate channels in the song will automatically be assigned to

[RIGHT] and [LEFT]. Therefore, [RIGHT] may be assigned to a

part other than channel 1, or [LEFT] to a part other than channel 2.

NOTE

For the USB storage device, folder directories on this instrument can be recognized up to two levels. However, the level is not displayed and song numbers 001-999 are displayed whichever level the song contains.

NOTE

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

NOTE

If the REVERB type is changed via the panel controls during playback, both the playback and keyboard reverb effects will be changed.

NOTE

If the EFFECT type is changed via the panel controls during playback, the playback effect may be switched off in some cases.

Useful Playback Functions

Turning part playback on and off

When you select a song on the Clavinova, the indicators for parts that contain data (one of [RIGHT] [LEFT] or both) are lit in green. While the Clavinova is playing or stopped, pressing these part buttons turns off the indicators, and the data on those parts is not played. Pressing the part buttons toggles part playback on and off.

Starting playback automatically when you start playing the keyboard (Sync Start)

You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard. This is called the “Sync Start” function. To engage the Sync Start function, press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button while hold- ing down the SONG [STOP] button. The SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] lamp will ﬂash at the current tempo. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Sync Start function.) Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard. This function is useful when you wish to match the timing of the beginning of the playback sound and the start of your own performance.

NOTE

Parts can be turned on or off before or during playback.

NOTE

You can adjust the volume of a part of a song for which playback is turned off (pages 17, 52).

TERMINOLOGY

Sync:

Synchronized; occurring at the same time

Assigning the PLAY/PAUSE function to the left pedal

The left pedal can also be assigned to song play/pause operation via the “Pedal Play/ Pause” (page 51). This is convenient for starting playback of the song anytime after you have started playing.
