Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-411/511 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument
that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many
years of musical pleasure.
● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone
generator system offers rich, realistic voices. Both
models feature stereo sampling of the piano
voices for unmatched realism and expressive
power.
● Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4
stages — provides extensive expressive control
and outstanding playability.
● Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
● Split mode (CLP-511) allows different voices to be
played by the left and right hands.
● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh
sound for new musical expression.
● Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates
practice.
● Digital recorder lets you record and play back
anything you play on the keyboard (up to approximately 4,200 notes).
● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions
make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced
MIDI music systems.
● Built-in computer interface for direct connection to
personal computers running advanced music
software.
In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read
this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the fol-
lowing points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the
internal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use,
and close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
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.
Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage
to the finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from
direct 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.
7 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.
● Name Plate Location
The CLP-411/511 name plate is located on the
bottom panel.

1 AUX IN L and R Jacks (CLP-511: L/L+R and R)
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. A
line-level mono source can be connected to the L/L+R jack on the CLP-
511.
NOTE
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks,
but is not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
2 AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks
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 left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/
L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’ s sound.
NOTE
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.
3 MIDI IN, THRU (CLP-511) and OUT Connectors
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 provided on the CLP511 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 26.
4 TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch
This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a personal
computer for sequencing and other music applications — without the need
Personal Computer
for a separate MIDI interface. See page 30 for details.
● PHONES Jacks
(Bottom Panel)
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.

Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
The CLP-411 and CLP-511 have three foot pedals that produce a range of
expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
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 which are already playing when it is pressed.
The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described on page 25.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal......................................................................
Damper 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.”
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 played have
a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.

Touch Sensitivity
Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT
or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
HARD
MEDIUM
SOFT
FIXED
TOUCH
To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the
indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response.
This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with
relatively light key pressure.
FIXED
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the
keyboard is played. This is an ideal setting for voices which normally
have no keyboard sensitivity (i.e. harpsichord and organ).
The volume of notes played in the FIXED mode can be set by using
the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while the [TOUCH] button is held (the
current volume level appears on the display). The volume range is
from 1 through 127. The default setting is 64.
TRANSPOSE
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 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “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 tempo of the metronome and recorder playback (the recorder is
described in the next section) can be set from 32 to 280 beats per
minute by using the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons. The [t] button
decreases the tempo and the [s] button increases the tempo. The
selected tempo appears on the LED display in the normal play mode
and while the [TEMPO/SONG t/s] buttons are being used to adjust
the tempo. The default tempo (120 or the recorded song tempo when
the recorder contains data and the playback track lamp is lit) can be
recalled by simultaneously pressing the [t] and [s] buttons.
Using the Recorder
The CLP-411 has a 1-track recorder and the CLP-511 f eatures a two-track
recorder that let you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it
back. Two tracks on the CLP-511 mean that you can “overdub” one par t on top
of another, using a different voice if you like. 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:
■ Entire Song
● Tempo ● Reverb type & depth ● Effect type
■ CLP-511: Individual Tracks, CLP-411: Entire Song
● Notes played ● V oice selection ● V oice variation
● Dual mode voices ● Split mode voices (CLP-511 only)
● Damper pedal ● Soft pedal

[SPLIT] buttons on the CLP-511) to select the desired function: F1
through F9 on the CLP-511; F1 through F6 on the CLP-411.
CIn the case of the Dual Mode (F3), Split Mode (F4: CLP-511),
Metronome (F4: CLP-411, F5: CLP-511), MIDI (F6: CLP-411, F8:
CLP-511), and Backup (F9: CLP-511) functions, you will have to
press the [+/YES] button once to enter the respective sub-mode
after the function has been selected, and then use the [<] and [>]
buttons again to select the desired sub-function.
NOTE
• The Dual or Split (CLP-511) mode must be engaged before the F3 and
F4 functions can be selected, respectively. If the corresponding mode is
not engaged, “
sponding sub-mode will not be available.

F1
Tuning
In addition to the tuning method described on page 15, overall tuning can also be accom-
plished via the F1 function.
After selecting “F1”, use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in 0.2
Hz increments (the first time the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed simply switches to the
tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range is from
427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons simultaneously to recall the default value: 440 Hz.
Tenths of a Hertz are indicated on the LED display by the appearance and position of one
or two dots, as in the following example:
Display Value
440 440.0
4.40 440.2
44.0 440.4
440. 440.6
4.40. 440.8
F2
Scale
In addition to the standard Equal Temperament tuning, the CLP-411 and CLP-511 include
6 classic tunings that you can select and use to play music of the corresponding period, or
experiment with in a more modern context. The tunings are:
1: Equal Temperament
2: Pure Major
3: Pure Minor
4: Pythagorean
5: Mean Tone
6: Werckmeister
7: Kirnberger
After selecting “F2”, use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the number of the
desired tuning, then press the key corresponding to the key on which you want the selected
tuning to be based (unlike the Equal Temperament tuning, the classic tunings must be tuned to
a specific key). The selected key will appear on the display, followed by a low bar if flat (e.g.
“2d_”) or a high bar if sharp (e.g. “2F~”).
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings (Equal
Temperament tuning).
NOTE
• No base key can be set for the 1: Equal Temperament tuning.

F3
Dual Mode Functions
After selecting “F3.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the dual-mode function sub-
mode, then use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired dual mode function, as listed
below.
If the Dual mode is not engaged “F3.-” will appear instead of “F3.Y” and the Dual mode
functions cannot be selected. If this happens engage the Dual mode and proceed.
■ SHORTCUT: You can jump directly to the dual-mode functions (F3) by pressing the
[FUNCTION] button while holding the two dual-mode voice selectors
corresponding to the voices you want to combine in the dual mode.
F3.1: Dual Balance.....................................................................................................................................
The volume levels of the two voices combined in the dual mode can be adjusted as re-
quired by using this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as
required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance
between the two dual-mode voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of the 2nd voice
in relation to the 1st voice, and settings above “10” increase the volume of the 1st voice in
relation to the 2nd voice (“1st” and “2nd” refer to the left and right voice selectors, respectively). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting
(different for each voice combination).
F3.2: Dual Detune.......................................................................................................................................
This function makes it possible to detune the 1st and 2nd dual-mode voices to create a
thicker sound. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the amount of detuning as required.
The detune range is from –10 through 10. A setting of “0” sets both voices to the same pitch.
Settings below “0” increase the pitch of the 2nd voice in relation to the 1st voice, and settings
above “0” increase the pitch of the 1st voice in relation to the 2nd voice (“1st” and “2nd” refer
to the left and right voice selectors, respectively). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).
F3.3: 1st Voice Octave Shift............................................................................................................
F3.4: 2nd Voice Octave Shift..........................................................................................................
Depending on which voices you combine using the dual mode, the combination may sound
better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons to set the octave of the 1st or 2nd voice as required (“1st” and “2nd” refer to the left
and right voice selectors, respectively). The available settings are “0” for normal pitch, “–1” to
shift the pitch down one octave, and “1” to shift the pitch up one octave. Press the [–/NO] and
[+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

The Function Mode
F3.5: 1st Voice Effect Depth............................................................................................................
F3.6: 2nd Voice Effect Depth..........................................................................................................
These functions make it possible to individually set the depth of the chorus effect for the
1st and 2nd dual-mode voices (“1st” and “2nd” refer to the left and right voice selectors,
respectively). Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the effect depth for the corresponding voice as required. The depth range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “0” produces no
effect, while a setting of “20” produces maximum effect depth. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (the default effect depth setting is different
for each voice).
NOTE
• The effect depth settings cannot be changed unless the EFFECT is ON. The Function mode must be
exited before EFFECT can be turned ON.
F3.7: (CLP-511) Slow-attack Strings ......................................................................................
In a dual mode voice combination using a strings voice and any other voice, a better
“blend” can sometimes be produced by switching the strings voice to a slow-attack variation.
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn the slow-attack variation “On” or “OFF”, as
required. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting:
“OFF”.

F3.7: (CLP-411), F3.8: (CLP-511) Reset...............................................................................
This function resets all dual-mode functions to their default values. Press the [+/YES]
button to reset the values. “End” will appear on the display when all functions have been
reset.
(CLP-511) Split Mode Functions
After selecting “F4.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the split-mode function sub-
mode, then use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired split mode function, as listed
below.
If the Split mode is not engaged “F4.-” will appear instead of “F4.Y” and the Split mode
functions cannot be selected. Also note that you must exit from the Function mode before the
Split mode can be engaged.
■ SHORTCUT: You can jump directly to the split-mode functions (F4) by pressing the
[FUNCTION] button while holding the [SPLIT] button.
F4.1: Split Point ............................................................................................................................................
In addition to the split point setting method described on page 11, the split point can be set
via this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the split point as required, or
simply press the appropriate key on the keyboard: from “A-1” to “C7”. Press the [–/NO] and
[+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: “F#2”.
