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:

Power supply/Power cord

Power supply/AC adaptor (CLP-635)

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

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

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

Assembly

•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.

Location

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

•(CLP-685, CLP-675, CLP-645, CLP-635) When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

•(CLP-695GP, CLP-665GP) Since this product is very heavy, make sure that a sufficient number of people are on hand to help, so you can lift and move it safely and easily. Attempting to lift or move the instrument by force may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

•When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Connections

•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.

•Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Handling caution

•Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

•(CLP-685) Do not apply excessive force when closing the key cover. A key cover equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover slowly. Applying excessive force to the key cover when closing it could damage the SOFTCLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers caught under the closing key cover.

•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

•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.

•Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

•Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder 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.

•For benches that can be adjusted, do not 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 specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

•Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in accident or injury.

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.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Features

Full-scale piano performance

page 24

The CLP-685, CLP-675 and CLP-695GP feature a brand new keyboard, which reproduces the authentic touch and feel of an actual grand piano. Its improved keyboard mechanism provides a wider range of touch response, with exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Moreover, the keys have an even longer pivot point distance (length from the front side to the pivot point), for more natural feeling, even when playing the inner part of a key. In addition, all models feature piano sounds created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and the famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer grand piano. Moreover, the VRM function on all models simulates the luscious resonance effect on acoustic pianos—where the sound of one string causes sympathetic vibration in other strings and the soundboard. You can customize the piano sound (in a special “Piano Room” setting group) by adjusting various parameters such as string resonance, damper resonance and touch response.

When headphones are connected, the piano sounds are automatically adjusted to impart a natural sound distance sensation. Also, selecting the CFX Voice calls up a binaural sampling sound, enabling realistic, natural sound when using headphones (page 20). Altogether, these models deliver widely variegated and rich sounds that are faithful to actual acoustic pianos.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Song playback for both listening enjoyment and practice purposes

page 39

Also built into this instrument are 50 classical music masterpieces, plus 303 lesson Songs for mastering the piano. You can simply enjoy listening to these built-in Songs, or use them for separate right-hand/left-hand practicing.* The 303

lesson Songs consist of practice pieces taken from various standard piano instruction manuals, including “The Virtuoso Pianist.” Moreover, you can input the audio from a smart device to this instrument via Bluetooth** and hear it through

the built-in speakers of the instrument. Refer to page 81 for details.

*The part on/off function is available only for MIDI songs that have both rightand left-hand parts.

**The models CLP-685, CLP-675, CLP-645, CLP-695GP and CLP-665GP are equipped with Bluetooth functionality; however, even these models may not support Bluetooth, depending on the country in which you purchased the product. For information on whether Bluetooth

functionality is included or not, refer to page 138.

Twenty different rhythms

page 51

Playing along with one of the twenty basic rhythms built into the instrument is a great way to add excitement to your performances. They feature a variety of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, to give you what you need to make playing more fun and lively.

Recording your performances

page 52

The instrument lets you save your performance to internal memory or a USB flash drive (sold separately). You can record your performance using one of two methods, MIDI or Audio recording, according to your needs. MIDI recording is ideal for making independent tracks—for example, recording a right-hand part to Track 1 first, and then a left-hand part to Track 2—allowing you to create pieces that would be difficult to play live with both hands together. Audio recording on the other hand, saves recorded data in stereo, CD-quality WAV format to a USB flash drive, for storing to computer and playing on portable music players.

Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance —Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.

Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound naturally for a long time without ear strain. When the default voice, “CFX Grand” (page 24) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling sound.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than “CFX Grand”)

The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on headphones. When a Voice in the Piano group other than “CFX Grand” is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer.

When headphones are connected, the Voices in the Piano group automatically change to the sound of Binaural Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer, by the default settings. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to “OFF” in the following situations.

•Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones.

•Making an audio recording (page 52) and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)

You can set this setting On or Off via the “System” menu display. Press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Sound” → “Binaural” (page 96).

Using the headphone hanger

You can conveniently hang the headphones on the instrument when not using them. Install the headphone hanger by following the instruction at the end of this manual (CLP-685: page 116, CLP-675: page 119, CLP-645/635: page 122, CLP-695GP: page 126, CLP-665GP: page 129).

Sampling

A technology which records the sounds of an acoustic instrument then stores them to the tone generator to be played based on information received from the keyboard.

NOTE

Voices in the Piano group are those contained in the “Piano” category in the Preset Voice List (page 102). For details about selecting Voices, refer to page 24.

NOTE

Before connecting an external powered speaker system, be sure to read “Connections” (page 69).

NOTICE

Do not hang anything other than the headphones on the hanger. Otherwise, the instrument or the hanger may be damaged.

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova

Using the Pedals

This instrument is equipped with three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left).

Damper pedal (right pedal)

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

When you select a Voice in the Piano group, pressing the damper pedal activates the VRM (page 26) to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

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, by finely controlling the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting. This can be set via the “System” menu display: Press the [FUNCTION] button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Pedal”  “Half Pedal Point” (page 96).

GP Responsive Damper Pedal

685 675

645 635

695GP

665GP

The damper pedal of the CLP-685, CLP-675 and CLP-695GP is the GP Responsive Damper Pedal. This special pedal 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 should adjust the half-pedal point described above to the desired setting.

Sostenuto pedal (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 pedal)

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the 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 when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after pressing the pedal.

Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal depending on the selected Voice. When the “Mellow Organ” is selected, pressing and releasing this pedal switches between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker speed (“Rotary Speed” on page 87). When the Vibraphone is selected, this pedal switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 87).

NOTE

Voices in the Piano group are those contained in the “Piano” category in the Preset Voice List (page 102). For details about selecting Voices, refer to page 24.

NOTE

You can assign other functions to each pedal by using “Pedal Assign” in “Voice” menu display (page 88).

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

Enjoying the Piano Performance

What is VRM?

The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) function uses sophisticated physical modeling to simulate the actual string resonance sound that occurs when the damper pedal on a real piano is pressed or keys are played and held.

On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology featured in this instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

What is Aliquot?

Aliquot is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since they do not have a damper, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.
