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.

Before Using the Clavinova
Tur ning the power on
1. Connect the power cable.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other end of the cable into the proper
AC outlet on the wall. For an illustration of the location of the [AC IN] connector, see “Panel Controls and Terminals” (page 10).
In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
1-1
(rear panel)
1-2
(The shape of plug differs depending on locale.)
WARNING
Make sure your CLP-380 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-380. 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-380 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-380. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Turn on the power to the Clavinova.
Press the [POWER] switch located on the right of the keyboard to turn the power on.

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).
