Überprüfung der Stromversorgung



Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions 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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

CAUTION

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:

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

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

• 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.

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

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

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

• 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.

• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

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

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

• 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.

• Do not operate the instrument 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 play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder 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.

• Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.

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

■SAVING USER DATA

• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

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.

1 AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks

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/ L+R 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.

• 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.

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment.

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 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 28.

HARD MEDIUM SOFT FIXED

TOUCH

T o 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.

Using the Recorder

The CLP-555 features a two-track recorder that let you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study prog ram, 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

■ Individual Tracks

● Notes played ● Voice selection ● Voice variation

● Dual mode voices ● Split mode voices

● Damper pedal ● Soft pedal

● Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting)

and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds.

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova, of course) transmit note

This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to “record” MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automatically “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.

The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do much, much more. The CLP-555 MIDI functions allow it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

After selecting “F8.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the MIDI function sub-mode, then

use the [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired MIDI function, as listed below .

• The rear-panel HOST SELECT switch must be set to “MIDI” in order to use the MIDI connectors.

• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

generators. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.

and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two different instruments or tone



In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the Clavinova to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There’s also a “1-2” mode which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired transmit or receive channel. The transmit channel parameter can also be turned “OFF” if you don’t want the Clavinova to transmit any MIDI data. To select the multi-timbre receive mode, set the receive channel to “ALL”. Select “1-2” for multi-timbre reception on channels 1 and 2 only.

Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: transmit = “1”; receive = “ALL”.

• In the dual mode the second voice data is transmitted on channel 2, and in the split mode the left-voice data is transmitted on channel 2. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel parameter is set to “OFF”.

• Demo/piano song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.

• No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/piano song mode is engaged.

• Received MIDI data will not affect the Clavinova’s panel settings or what is being played on the keyboard — except for reverb type, reverb depth, and effect on/off data which will affect the Clavinova settings.

F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF........................................................................................................................

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the

MIDI OUT

AUX IN

OUT PUT

Clavinova keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from

MIDI

the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On”

since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by

DOU-10

its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that

the Clavinova keyboard does not play the internal

Clavinova

voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.

When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn local control “On” or “OFF”.

Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: “On”.

F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF...............................................................................................................

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The Clavinova will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.

This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception “On” or “OFF”.

Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: “On”.

F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit .............................................................................................................

This function causes all the current Clavinova control settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

Press the [+/YES] button to transmit the panel/status data. “End” will appear on the LED display when the data has been successfully transmitted.

• See page 36 for list of the “Panel Data Contents” transmitted by this function.

• Panel setting data can only be transferred between the same models (data cannot, for example, be transferred between a CLP-555 and CLP-411).

F8.8: Bulk Data Dump............................................................................................................................

Troubleshooting

If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following points before assuming

that your Clavinova is faulty.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON

Is the AC plug properly connected to the Clavinova and an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

Also make sure that a pair of headphones is not plugged into the PHONES jack, and that the Local Control (page 29) is ON.

2. The Damper Pedal Doesn’t Work

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 main unit (page 46).

3. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound

This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

● If “Scn” appears on the display an internal malfunction has occurred. In this case, contact your Yamaha

dealer.

4. Intermittent Static Noise

This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the same AC mains line as your Clavinova.

5. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova

The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

6. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System

If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the setting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.

Factory Preset Recall

POWER

All dual mode, split mode, reverb, effect, touch sensitivity, tuning settings, and the settings affected by the Backup Functions can be restored to their original factory preset values by holding the C7 key while turning the [POWER] switch ON. This also erases all recorder data, and sets all Backup on/off settings (F9) to “OFF”.

If you’re already very familiar with MIDI, or are using a computer to control your music hardware with computergenerated MIDI messages, the data provided in this section can help you to control the Clavinova.

Falls Sie bereits mit MIDI vertraut sind oder einen Computer zur Erzeugung von MIDI-Steuermeldungen für die Instrumente verwenden, können Sie sich zur Steuerung des Clavinovas nach den im folgenden Abschnitt aufgeführten Spezifikationen richten.

1. NOTE ON/OFF

Data format: [9nH] -> [kk] -> [vv]

9nH = Note ON/OFF event (n = channel number) kk = Note number (Transmit: 09H ~ 78H = A-2 ~ C8 /

Receive: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8)

vv = Velocity (Key ON = 1 ~ 127. Key OFF = 0)

Data format: [8nH] -> [kk] -> [vv]

8nH = Note OFF event (n = channel number) kk = Note number: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8 vv = Velocity (Key OFF = 0 ~ 127)

* 8nH (note off) is receive only.

9nH (vvH=00H) used for transmission.

2. CONTROL CHANGE & MODE MESSAGES

Data format: [BnH] -> [cc] -> [vv]

BnH = Control event (n = channel number) cc = Control number vv = Data Range

X = don’t care 09 = Sub-ID #1=General MIDI Message 01 = Sub-ID #2=General MIDI On F7 = End of Exclusive

When the General MIDI mode ON message is received, the MIDI system will be reset to its default settings. This message requires approximately 50ms to execute, so sufficient time should be allowed before the next message is sent.

(4) XG Native Parameter Change

Data format: [F0H] -> [43H] -> [1nH] -> [4CH] -> [hh] ->

[mm] -> [ll] -> [dd] -> [F7H]

F0 = Exclusive status 43 = YAMAHA ID 1n = When n is received n=0~F, whichever is received.

When n is transmitted n always=0. 4C = Model ID of XG hh = Address High mm = Address Mid ll = Address Low dd = Data | F7 = End of Exclusive

Data size must match parameter size (2 or 4 bytes). When the XG System On message is received, the MIDI system will be reset to its default settings. The message requires approximately 50ms to execute, so sufficient time should be allowed before the next message is sent.

When n is transmitted n always=0. 4C Model ID of XG aa ByteCount bb ByteCount hh Address High mm Address Mid ll Address Low dd Data | | | | cc Check sum F7 End of Exclusive

For information about “Address” and “Byte Count” fields, refer to attached tables. In the attached tables “TOTAL SIZE” partitions a data series into single bulk dumps. The “address” is the first byte of the bulk data. The checksum value is set such that the sum of Byte Count, Address, Data, and Checksum has value zero in its seven least significant bits.

If too much bulk data is received at a time there is a chance of error. The total data for a bulk dump should not exceed 512 bytes, it is recommended that data be kept under 512 bytes with an interval time of 120msec or more between 512 byte bulk.

(6) Clavinova MIDI Format

Data format: [F0H] -> [43H] -> [73H] -> [3BH] -> [yy] ->

treten?

m Drehen Sie den Höhenversteller, bis er fest auf dem Fußboden steht.

● Sind Pedal-und Netzkabel richtig an den Buchsen angeschlos-

sen?

m Prüfen Sie die Verbindung.

● Wenn die Haupteinheit knarrt oder beim Spielen wackelt, be-

trachten Sie die Abbildungen und ziehen Sie alle Schrauben noch einmal nach.

Page 49

• When moving the instrument after assembly, always hold the lower surface of the main unit, NEVER the lid or keyboard cover. Improper handling can result in damage to the instrument or personal injury.

• Fassen Sie zum Umstellen des Instruments nach dem Zusammenbau stets unter das Gehäuse; heben Sie es niemals am Gehäuse- oder Tastaturdeckel. Bei Nichtbeachtung dieses Punkts kann das Instrument beschädigt und im Extremfall eine Verletzung hervorgerufen werden.

• Pour déplacer l’instrument après le montage, toujours tenir l’instrument par la surface inférieure, JAMAIS par le couvercle ou le protège-clavier. Une mauvaise manipulation peut provoquer des dommages ou des blessures.

• Cuando mueva el instrumento después del montaje, sostenga siempre la superficie inferior de la unidad principal. NUNCA por la tapa ni cubierta del teclado. La manipulación indebida puede causar daños en el instrumento o personales.

Fixer les serre-fils et brancher le cordon de

l’alimentation secteur.

Retirer le film protecteur des surfaces adhésives aux serre-fils et les fixer approximativement aux emplacements indiqués sur l’illustration. Brancher l’extrémité instrument du cordon secteur dans la prise correspondante au bas de l’instrument et fixer le cordon avec les serre-fils.

Un adaptateur de prise peut également être fourni dans certaines régions pour pouvoir brancher le cordon à la prise secteur murale.

Régler la hauteur du pédalier

Pour assurer la stabilité, un dispositif de réglage du pédalier (D) est équipé. Tourner ce dispositif jusqu’à ce qu’il soit en contact ferme avec le sol. Ce dispositif assure la stabilité du pédalier pendant son utilisation et facilite la commande au pied des effets. Si ce dispositif n’est pas fermement en contact avec le sol, le son pourra être déformé.

● Lorsque vous secouez quelque peu le Clavinova, entendez-

vous un cliquetis?

m Serrer convenablement toutes les vis.

● Le pédalier fait-il du bruit ou s’écarte-t-il lorsque vous appuyez

sur les pédales?

m Tourner le stabilisateur de sorte qu’il repose fermement sur le sol.

● Les cordons des pédales et d’alimentation sont-ils bien

enfoncés dans les prises?

m Vérifier toutes les connexions.

● Si la partie principale de l’appareil craque ou est instable

lorsque vous jouez sur le clavier, consulter les diagrammes de montage et resserrer toutes les vis.

Monte los soportes de cable y enchufe el

cable de CA

Extraiga el dorso protector de la superficie adhesiva de los soportes de cable, y colóquelos aproximadamente en los lugares mostrados en la ilustración. Enchufe e extremo de la unidad principal del cable de CA en la toma correspondiente de la parte inferior de la unidad principal, y fije el cable con los soportes de cables.

En algunas zonas puede suministrarse también un adaptador para adaptar la configuración de las patillas de los tomacorrientes de CA de su localidad.

Ajuste el ajustador.

Para mayor estabilidad, se proporciona un ajustador en la parte inferior de la caja de pedales (D). Gire el ajustador hasta que se ponga firmemente en contacto con la superficie del suelo. El ajustador asegura la operación estable de lo pedales y facilita el control de efectos de los pedales. Si el ajustador no está firmemente en contacto con la superficie del suelo, puede producirse sonido distorsionado.

■ Cuando haya concluido el montaje,

compruebe los siguientes puntos:

● ¿Ha quedado alguna pieza sin instalar?

m Revise el procedimiento de montaje y corrija cualquier error que se

haya podido cometer.

● ¿Está el Clavinova alejado del recorrido de puertas y muebles?

m Traslade el Clavinova a una posición adecuada.

● ¿Suena algún ruido de holgura cuando se mueve el Clavinova?

m Apriete con firmeza todos los tornillos.

● ¿Vibra o cede la caja de pedales cuando se pisan los pedales?

m Gire el ajustador hasta que se apoye firmemente sobre el suelo.

● ¿Están perfectamente insertados los cables de pedal y alimen-

tación en los conectores?

m Revise las conexiones.

● Si la unidad principal cruje o presenta algún signo de inestabili-

dad cuando se toca el teclado, consulte los esquemas de montajee y vuelva a apretar todos los tornillos.
