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 rear 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.

Main Features

NW (Natural Wood) with synthetic ivory keytops

This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard also uses real-wood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. This authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, making you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. The specially crafted keyboard also 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.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The CLP-380 features Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone-generation technology that gives the instrument its rich, authentic voices and unmatched sonic realism. AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates authentic acoustic instrument sounds by using digital technology to record the actual instrument sound and applying high-quality digital ﬁlter technology to the recorded audio samples. The GRAND PIANO 1 Voice in particular features completely new samples recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each sampled note has been adjusted and processed meticulously to ensure the very best sound—with instantaneous attack and expressive response. This special Voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), Sustain Sampling for recreating the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and Key-off Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. These sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument sounds and plays virtually the same as an actual acoustic piano.

Introduction

Tri-Amp System

The instrument has a built-in Tri-Amp System that features separate ampliﬁcation for each speaker range— high, mid, and low—providing greater clarity and accuracy from each speaker, ensuring optimum volume balance for each octave range, and letting you enjoy richer, more natural, expansive sound.

The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano—with the iAFC Feature

Tu rn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand around you—as if you’re playing on stage in a concert hall. Use the Spatial Effect to recreate and emphasize the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments. The overall sound is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal (Dynamic Damper Effect).

Internet Direct Connection (IDC)

By directly connecting the CLP-380 to the Internet, you can use the special service on the Yamaha website that enables you to automatically play back a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres directly on your instrument.

Page 24

Selecting and Playing Voices

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Basic Operation

Damper (right) pedal

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive halfpedal function.

Sostenuto (center) pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left)

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. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.)

With the Vibraphone, Jazz Organ and Mellow Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 98.)

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

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

TIP

If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the [PEDAL] jack on the unit (see step 6 on page 119). Also, make sure that the RPedalFunc parameter in the “FUNCTION” menu is set to ON (see page 96).

TERMINOLOGY

Half-pedal:

While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute the sustained sound, release the damper pedal from maximum position to half position.

TIP

The threshold at which the Half Pedal effect starts can be set from the Half Pedal Point parameter in the Function menu (page 98).

TIP

You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the “Sustain Samples” using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the “FUNCTION” menu. (See page 99.)

TIP

You can assign a function to each pedal via the “RPedalFunc”, “CPedalFunc”, and “LPedalFunc” parameters in the “FUNCTION” menu. (See page 96.)

TIP

The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (PLAY/PAUSE function) via the “PedalPlay/Pause” parameter in the “FUNCTION” menu (on page 98).

Recording Your Performance

This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function. You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova keyboard for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the righthand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.

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. On the other hand, 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.

A message (information or conﬁrmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the “Message List” on page 104 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information.

TIP

You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (See page 73.)

Basic Operation

Recording a New Song

There are two ways to record your performance: recording it quickly without specifying a recording part, or recording several different parts to multiple parts. You can select whichever way best suits your purpose.

■ Recording a performance without specifying the recording part (page 32)

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without specifying the recording parts—useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to part 1 (right part).

■ Recording a performance of several different parts (page 35)

This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions.

EXTRA PARTS

LEFT

RIGHT

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 16

[RIGHT] corresponds to part 1. Record the right-hand part to [RIGHT].

[LEFT] corresponds to part 2. Record the left-hand part to [LEFT].

[EXTRA PARTS] corresponds to part 3 – 16. Record parts 3-16 in addition to part 1 and 2 when you are recording a song which has many parts, such as a symphony orchestra.

Appropriate channels (parts) in the song will automatically be assigned to [RIGHT] and [LEFT]. Therefore, [RIGHT] may be assigned to a part other than Part 1, or [LEFT] to a part other than Part 2.

If a “MemoryFull” message or “SystemLimit” message appears after recording your performance, refer to the section “Saving recorded songs to a USB storage device ... [Save]” on page 42.

Internet

A device that acts as a communication hub for multiple wireless devices, and conventionally enables both wired and wireless LAN connections.

An Internet connection technology/service (such as ADSL and optical ﬁber) that allows for highspeed, high-volume data communication.

The software used to search for, access, and view web pages. For this instrument, this refers to the display that shows the contents of the web pages.

A system that records certain information that the user transfers when visiting a website and using the Internet. The function is similar to a preference ﬁle in a conventional computer program, in that it “remembers” certain information such as your user name and password, so you don’t have to reenter the information each time you visit the site.

This is a standard or protocol by which IP addresses and other low-level network conﬁguration information can be dynamically and automatically assigned each time connection is made to the Internet.

Tr ansferring data over a network, from a larger “host” system to a smaller “client” system’s hard drive or other local storage device—much like copying ﬁles from your hard disk drive to a ﬂoppy disk. For this instrument, this refers to the process of transferring Song and other data from a website to the instrument.

The ﬁrst page shown when opening a browser and connecting to the Internet. This phrase is also used to mean the “front screen” or top page of a website.

A huge network made up of networks, the Internet allows high-speed data transfer among computers, mobile phones and other devices.

Basic Operation

IP address

LAN

Link

Modem

Provider

Proxy

Router

A string of numbers assigned to each computer connected to a network, and indicating the device’s location on the network.

Short for Local Area Network, this is a data-transfer network that connects a group of computers at a single location (such as an ofﬁce or home) by means of a special cable.

Location information in other sentences and images, etc. that are under buttons and character strings on a web page. When the place with the link is clicked, the page selection jumps to the relevant link.

A device which connects and allows data transfer between a conventional telephone line and a computer. It converts the digital signals from the computer to analog audio for sending over the phone line, and vice versa.

A communications business that offers Internet connection services. In order to connect to the Internet, it is necessary to contract to a provider.

A proxy server is a server that all computers on a local network have to go through before accessing information on the Internet. It intercepts all or designated requests to the real server to see if it can fulﬁll the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers are used to improve performance and speed, and to ﬁlter requests, usually for security and to prevent unauthorized access to an internal network.

A device for connecting multiple computer networks. For example, a router is necessary when connecting several computers in a house or ofﬁce, and allow them to all access the Internet and share data. A router is usually connected between a modem and a computer, although some modems have a built-in router.

Server

A hardware system or computer used as a central point for a network, providing access to ﬁles and services.

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same part, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the part are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

From this display, you can determine how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the speciﬁed quantization beats according to the speciﬁed percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

[SpatialFX Depth]

Spatial Effect is one type of the iAFC effect. Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and spaciousness by picking up the output sound using internal microphones and output the sound from the speaker on the rear of the instrument. The spread and spaciousness of the sound is different depending on the depth. For lower depth settings, this creates the resonance and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is characteristic of acoustic instruments by creating a virtual soundboard. For deeper depth settings, the sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by internal microphones, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristics of performing together on stage.

TRANSPOSE= To change the key

(Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of the entire song.)

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 the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MeanTone .............. This scale is an improvement of the

Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. It spread during the late 16th century through the late 18th century. Handel used this scale.

Werckmeister/Kirnberger

Turning Local control on/off

[LocalControl]

“Local Control On” is a state in which the Clavinova produces the sound from its tone generator when you play the keyboard. In “Local Control Off” state, the keyboard and the tone generator are cut off from each other. This means that even if you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not produce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device, which can produce the sound. The “Local Control Off” setting is useful when you wish to play an external sound source while playing the keys on the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 80.

Setting range:

On/Off
