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.

Main Features

Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine

This lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. In addition to providing smooth tonal changes that respond to your playing touch, it also features a new Smooth Release function which can clearly enunciate staccato notes and produce the sound of lingering resonance when gently lifting your fingers from the keys. These effects capture the true essence of an acoustic grand piano to help you create and perform with luscious piano-like expression.

Highly evolved touch and expression: Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard (CLP-430/ 465GP) and Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops (CLP440/S406)

The Graded Hammer keyboard features natural grand-piano type key weights (heavier in the low range and lighter in the higher range) providing a pleasant playability that is unmatched by conventional electronic pianos.

The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for legato (without pedal operation) and repetitive striking techniques, as with a grand piano.

The CLP-440/S406 feature synthetic ivory keytops which simulates the moderate hygroscopic characteristics of real ivory and offers a less slippery surface, smooth key movement, and a warm and inviting color.

NW (Natural Wood) keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops and Linear Graded Hammer (CLP-470/S408)

In addition to the features offered by the GH3 keyboard with the synthetic ivory top model, the CLP-470/S408 uses natural wood for the inside of the white keys (NW keyboard), and utilizes the Linear Graded Hammer feature, in which the hammer weight of all keys is different, just as on an acoustic piano. These features provide a heavier weighted touch that surpasses that of conventional electronic pianos and is closer in feel to a grand piano.

Audio Playing and Recording from a USB Flash Memory

Audio files (.wav) saved to a USB storage device such as a USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, since you can record your performance as audio data to a USB flash memory device, it is possible to listen to your performance on portable music players, with the data transferred by computer.

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

With the full set of pedals and expressive keyboard, this instrument can be played just like a real acoustic piano. This section shows you how to simply set up the instrument and play it. It also shows you how to use the built-in metronome, convenient for practice purposes. We’ve also included for your piano-playing pleasure “50 greats for the Piano,” a score book to help you master the instrument.

Key Cover

CAUTION

•Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and the unit.

•Do not place objects such as a piece of metal or paper on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.

NOTICE

•Disconnect the optional USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal before closing the key cover. Closing the cover with the device still connected may damage the device.

•(CLP-S408/S406) When transporting the instrument, cover the entire keyboard with the protective sheet (pages 76, 80) before closing the key cover. The sheet will protect the keyboard from being scratched.

Turning the power on

1. Connect the power cord.

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. In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area. For more information on connecting the power cord, refer to the assembly instructions on page 69.

1-1

1-2

The shape of the plug differs depending on the locale.

WARNING

Make sure your instrument 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 AC IN. 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 your instrument. 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 your instrument 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 your instrument. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

2. Turn the power on.

Press the [ ] power switch located on the right of the keyboard to turn the power on.

Introduction 17

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

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.

Damper (Right) Pedal

When this pedal is pressed, the sound is sustained, even when the keys are released. When this is used with one of the Grand Piano Voices, a special resonance effect is added, which effectively reproduces the rich, resonant sound of the frame and soundboard of a real acoustic piano. The depth of this resonance effect can be set in the Function parameters (page 51).

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

Half-pedal function

This instrument also has a Half-pedal function which allows you to use half-damper techniques, in which the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all the way up. In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the damper felts only partially mute the strings. The Half-pedal function on the Clavinova lets you delicately and expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your performance. It also lets you finely control the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting. (See the Function mode parameters on page 51.)

GP Responsive Damper Pedal	470	440	430	S408	S406	465GP

This special pedal (only on the CLP-470/S408) has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals. Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where the instrument is installed, you may want to adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting (page 51).

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. Organ, string and choir Voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. All subsequent notes will not sustain.

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the 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 that are already playing or sustaining when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.

NOTE

The pedals are covered with vinyl covers when shipped from the factory. If your instrument features the GP Responsive Damper Pedal, remove the cover from the damper pedal for optimum use of the pedal effect.

NOTE

The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/ pause operation ([PLAY/PAUSE] function) in the Function mode (page 51).

NOTE

When you select the Jazz Organ Voice, the ROTARY SP of the [EFFECT] section (page 25) is automatically selected and the Left pedal functions to switch the rotary speed of the rotary speaker.

20 Introduction

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova as a Piano

Maintenance

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below.

Instrument and Bench Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.

NOTICE

Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

If you are using 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.

To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.

Bench Height Adjustment

The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench. (Before shipment, the handle is firmly fastened.)

Pedal Cleaning

As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished over years of use. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage.

Tuning

Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting

You can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of the box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.

When transporting the assembled instrument, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not been loosened by moving the instrument.

NOTICE

(CLP-S408/S406) When transporting the instrument, cover the entire keyboard with the protective sheet (pages 76,5, 80) before closing the key cover. The sheet will protect the keyboard from being scratched.

Playing back Songs

This instrument can play Preset Songs, User Songs (you recorded), or commercially available Songs. In addition to listening to these Songs, you can play the keyboard as the Song plays back. The Songs reside on internal memory and the external USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.

MIDI Songs and Audio Songs

There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to audio recording, and allows you to easily change the event like a Voice.

An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let other people hear your performance.

NOTE

For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to “MIDI Basics” (downloadable from the Yamaha website).
