Features

Full-scale piano performance

GrandTouch Keyboard and GrandTouch-S Keyboard

The CLP-700 series models feature a special keyboard, which remarkably reproduces the authentic touch and feel of an actual grand piano. Its mechanism provides exceptionally expressive control from pianissimo to fortissimo. Moreover, the keys of the GrandTouch Keyboard (CLP-785, CLP-775 and CLP-795GP) have a long pivot point distance (length from the front side to the pivot point), for a more natural feeling, even when playing the inner part of a key.

Two world-renowned concert grand pianos page 26

All models feature piano sounds created with samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano and the famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer grand piano. The sound of the Yamaha CFX is powerful, sparkling and with a rich bass resonance. On the other hand, the Bösendorfer sound is soft and deep in the mid to bass range and beautiful for pianissimo parts. You can select the one that best matches the music you want to play.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Piano Room feature for adjusting touch and resonance page 27

From the Piano Room displays, you can adjust various parameters such as string resonance and touch response. You can also listen to the demo for VRM, which reproduces luxurious string and soundboard resonance, and the demo for Grand Expression Modeling, which recreates the subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch.

• VRM effect for reproducing the distinctive reverberation of a grand piano

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 vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

• Grand Expression Modeling for superbly expressive sound

On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing touch from when you press a key to when you release it. The Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound.

Realistic feeling of being immersed in the sound —even when using headphones page 22

When headphones are connected, the sounds of the CFX and Bösendorfer automatically switch to binaural sampling sound—which gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When other piano Voices are selected, the Stereophonic Optimizer effect reproduces a natural sound distance.

Convenient performance functions

Rhythm Tracks page 42

All models feature twenty different simple rhythm patterns (drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly suited to many types of music regularly performed on the piano, for even greater performance potential.

Preset Songs for effective practicing page 43

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.”

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

Two recording methods page 54

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.

Connecting to a Smart Device page 77

By connecting this instrument to a smart device such as smart phone or tablet, you can enjoy compatible smart device apps. In addition, 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.

*The models CLP-785, CLP-775, CLP-745, CLP-795GP and CLP-765GP are equipped with Bluetooth functionality; however, even these

models may not support Bluetooth, depending on the country in which you purchased the product. For details, refer to page 142.

Fortepiano Voices—authentic classical period piano sounds

All models feature authentic sounds created with samples of actual fortepianos—pianos which were made in the era of Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. Enjoy performing with the actual sounds used in the era that classical music masterpieces were composed. Refer to page 30 for selecting Voices.

*The fortepiano shown in the picture is from the collection of at the

Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments.

IAC Control is effective only from the sound output of the instrument speakers.

You can set the IAC setting On or Off and its depth. For details, refer to “IAC” on page 98 and “IAC depth” on page 99. The default setting for this function is “On.”

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova

Using Headphones

Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks. When the headphones are plugged into either of the [PHONES] jacks, the internal speaker system is automatically shut off. Two [PHONES] jacks are provided. Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in. (If you are using only one pair of headphones, you can plug them into either of these jacks.)

Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

NOTE

• If you are using an adaptor plug, be sure to remove this as well when unplugging the headphones. No sound will come out of the instrument’s speakers if the adaptor plug is left connected.

• You can also hear sound through the speakers with the headphones plugged in. For details, refer to “Speaker” on page 100.

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 106). For details about selecting Voices, refer to page 26.

NOTE

Before connecting an external powered speaker system, be sure to read “Connections” (page 71).

NOTICE

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-785: page 119, CLP-775: page 122, CLP-745/735: page 125, CLP-795GP: page 129, CLP-765GP: page 133).

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 piano sound, even when listening on headphones.

Binaural Sampling

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. When “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” (page 26) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables binaural sampling sound.

Stereophonic Optimizer

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 any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” or “Bösendorfer” is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer.

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

This function is turned on by default. Note that when the “Speaker” setting (page 100) is On, this function will always be disabled. 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 54) while using headphones, and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.)

For details on setting this On or Off, refer to “Binaural” on page 99.

Using the Pedals

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

NOTE

Voices in the Piano group are those contained in the “Piano” category in the Preset Voice List (page 106). For details about selecting Voices, refer to page 26.

NOTE

You can assign other functions to each pedal by using “Pedal Assign” in “Voice” menu display (page 89).

785 775 74 5 735 795GP 765GP

NOTE

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

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.

NOTE

While the sostenuto (center) pedal is held, a sustained (nondecaying) type of Voice such as strings or organ may sound continuously without decay after the notes have been released.

NOTE

The center pedal or left pedal can also be used as a [PLAY/ PAUSE] button. For details on the settings, refer to “Play/ Pause” on page 98.

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 28) to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

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. For details on setting this, refer to “Half Pedal Point” on page 98.

Getting Started — Playing the Clavinova

GP Response Damper Pedal

The damper pedal of the CLP-785, CLP-775 and CLP-795GP is the GP Response 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)

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 88). When the “Vibraphone” is selected, this pedal switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 88).

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, each influencing the rest and 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 Duplex Scale?

Duplex scaling 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.

What is Damper Noise?

Damper noise is the sound made on an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is pressed. The damper noise changes in tone and volume depending on how quickly the damper pedal is pressed down. Pressing the damper pedal slowly will make a quieter sound when the damper heads are released from the strings. Pressing the damper pedal with force will transmit the vibrations to the strings, which adds a lower and louder sound.

What is Grand Expression Modeling?

On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing touch from when you press a key to when you release it. For example, when you press a key all the way to its bottom, the key hits the keybed underneath and the noise reaches the strings, changing the sound slightly. Furthermore, the tone when the damper is lowered onto strings to mute the sound is changed by how quickly you release the key. The Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound. A crisp tone can be heard when playing staccato as well as a lingering sound produced when releasing the keys slowly.

This instrument can play Preset Songs, Songs you recorded on this instrument, or commercially available Songs. In addition to listening to these Songs, you can play the keyboard as the Song plays back.

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 an Audio song, and allows you to easily change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc. An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used 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.

Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons indicate whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.

Example:

You can play back the following types of Songs in this instrument.

• Preset Voice Demo Songs (Voice Demo). reset Songs: 50 classical Preset Songs (“50 Classical”) and 303 Lesson Songs

•P

(“Lesson”)

• Your own recorded Songs (see page 54 for instructions on recording)

• Commercially available MIDI Song data: SMF (Standard MIDI File)

The maximum size for playback on this instrument is approx. 500KB per single MIDI Song.

• Commercially available Audio Song data: Wav (file extension = .wav with

44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit resolution, stereo, and maximum 80 minutes length)

The CLP-785 and CLP-795GP are compatible with the following formats.

GM System Level 2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

Recording Your Performance

MIDI

Audio

MIDI

Audio

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• MIDI Recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash drive as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also you can record your performance to each Track one by one. Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 69), you may want to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 500 KB of data per Song.

•Audio Recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1 kHz/16 bit), it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. Because the audio sound input* from the external device is also recorded, you can record your keyboard performance along with the performance sound of the connected audio device, computer, or smart device, etc. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

*Audio sound input (Audio input sound): Audio data sent to this instrument from the external devices such as a computer or a smart device, etc., when connecting the instrument with the devices via [AUX IN] jack, [USB TO HOST] terminal, wireless LAN, or Bluetooth. For connection with these devices, refer to the “Connections” section from page 71.

For details about the difference between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs, refer to page 43.

Recording Methods

This chapter covers the following four methods. Note that the created data format differs depending on the method, MIDI or Audio.

• Quick MIDI Recording ....................................... page 55

This method lets you start recording most quickly. Your performance will be recorded and saved to the “User” category in this instrument’s internal memory.

• MIDI Recording — Independent Tracks ............ page 57

This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions.

• MIDI Recording to the USB Flash Drive ............page 59

This method is useful when you want to overwrite the already recorded MIDI Song in the USB flash drive or create a New MIDI Song on the USB flash drive.

• Audio Recording to the USB Flash Drive ...........page 60

This method lets you record your performance as Audio data to the USB flash drive connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.

Contains no data.

With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 tracks by recording your performance to each track one by one. In recording a piano piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to Track 1 then record the left-hand part to Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with Rhythm playback, for example, record Rhythm playback, then record melodies to Track 1 while listening to the already recorded Rhythm playback. In this way, you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.

When you want to record a new track of an already recorded MIDI Song:

After selecting the target MIDI Song (steps 1 – 4 on pages 44 – 45), press and hold the [REC] (Record) button for a second to call up the display which lists the Recording Target Songs, select the 4th item (the selected MIDI Song), press the [>] button, then go to step 2 described on this page.

page 55 to enter the Recording mode with a new blank Song selected.

2. Use the [<]/[>] buttons to select a Recording Track.

When you want to record the right-hand part, highlight “R” (Track 1). When you want to record the left-hand part, highlight “L” (Track 2). Alternately, when you want to record your performance to Tracks 3 – 16, call up the desired one by pressing the [<]/[>] buttons repeatedly. If the Rhythm playback was recorded first before other tracks, it is automatically recorded to one of the Tracks 9 – 11 (or all the three tracks). If this is the case, select the desired track for recording from any except for these tracks.

3. Play the keyboard to start recording.

When you want to record the Rhythm playback first, press the [RHYTHM] button to start recording. When you want to record an empty section at the start of the Song, press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start recording.

Connecting USB Devices (USB [TO DEVICE] Terminal)

You can connect a USB flash drive or a USB wireless LAN adaptor UD-WL01 (sold separately) to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. You can save data you’ve created on the instrument to the USB flash drive (pages 65,

104), or you can connect the instrument to a smart device such as an iPad via wireless LAN (page 81).

Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal

This instrument features a built-in USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

 Compatible USB devices

•USB flash drive

•USB hub

• USB wireless LAN adaptor UD-WL01 (sold separately; may not be available in some areas)

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the following web page:

https://download.yamaha.com/

Although USB devices 2.0 to 3.0 can be used on this instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading from the USB device may differ depending on the type of data or the status of the instrument. USB 1.1 devices cannot be used on this instrument.

If you intend to connect two devices at the same time to a terminal, you should use a bus-powered USB hub. Only one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB device.

Using USB Flash Drives

By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected USB flash drive.

 Number of USB flash drives that can be

used

Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB flash drives that can be used simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is used is only one.)

 Formatting a USB flash drive

You should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument (page 100). A USB flash drive formatted on another device may not operate properly.

The rating of the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.

 Connecting a USB device

When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

Quantize setting range

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same part, if you quantize by straight eighth notes, all notes in the part are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
