IMPORTANT

Check Your Power Supply

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.

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 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.

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:

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 the instrument or 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 multiple-con- nector. 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. Also, 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.

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, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

On the CVP-109/700, 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.

(1)B_EL/CL-4vari.

On the CVP-109/700, 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 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.

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

SAVING USER DATA

Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, 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.

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the Clavinova panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the

Clavinova’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using

SMF Format 0.)

Vocal Harmony (CVP-109/107/700)

Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects.

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file format, which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The Clavinova uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the

Custom Style feature.

Fun, Dynamic Automatic Accompaniment

The Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova gives you full, exciting instrumental backing in your favorite music styles, according to the chords you play (page 69). There’s even a wide selection of “Pianist” styles that allow you to enjoy solo piano accompaniment (page 70). Choose from no less than 170 accompaniment styles (the exact number of styles depends on the model), or create your own custom styles (page 91).

Easy Access to a Variety of Musical Enjoyment

The Clavinova offers several ways to change panel settings without a lot of fuss. You can use the One Touch Setting feature to select from four sets of voice, effect, and other settings appropriate to each accompaniment style (page 90). Or access the Music Database to choose from more than 400 sets of style and voice settings, selectable by title or style (page 79). You can even save your current setup for instant recall later using the handy Registration function (page 108).

Easy-to-use Recording Features

You can record songs using a variety of methods, depending on your keyboard expertise and preference. Choose from the Quick Recording, Track Recording, Chord Sequence Recording, and Step Edit functions (page 130).

Automatic Vocal Harmony Function (CVP-109/107/700)

Handling the Floppy Disk

Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks .............

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

DISK IN USE

To eject a floppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off). Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

DISK IN USE lamp

DISK IN USE

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write

Head ......................................................................................

Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.

To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibily damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

About the Floppy Disks ...................................

To handle floppy disks with care:

Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.

Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.

Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

Data backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy function on page 196.

Also, you can use the Guide function (page 125) while the Clavinova is playing 4. GUIDE Demo. You cannot change the voice selection while the demo is playing, however.

CHAPTER2:Basic Operation

Using the LCD Display Controls

You will refer to the LCD display frequently as you operate your Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related controls.

Selecting a Function

Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles, which means they represent settings that can be changed.

CVP-107/700

Before you can change a function’s setting, however, you have to select it first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indicating that this function is currently selected.

To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the leftmost LCD button.

Main display

Remember, the main display is the display that appears first when you turn the power on.

Highlighted items

Selected items are highlighted (i.e., white letters on a dark background).

LCD buttons

The five LCD buttons under the LCD display represent different functions, depending on the contents of the display.

Press to select.

Changing a Setting

There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the main ways:

Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons.................................

Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the data dial or the [–]and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–]button until it reads 0.

The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to 0, you will find that the keyboard won’t produce any sound, no matter how high you set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider!

You can press the [–] and [+] buttons repeatedly to change the value a little, or hold them down to change it quickly.

Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD

VOL function.

Using the LCD buttons..................................................................................

You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your keyboard later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for KBD VOL is back up to 127.

This is why you should release the LCD button quickly when you select a function: you could end up raising its value when you want to lower it!

Hold down to increase.

Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can learn about a couple of other ways to change settings.

Changing a Setting in a Menu Display

You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while you’re at it…

The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now.

When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a two-column menu listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of piano voices.

Using the and LCD buttons .......................................................................

This display has one function, VOICE, that corresponds to two LCD buttons labeled and . You can use these buttons to select a different piano voice, much as you would use the [–]and [+] buttons.

Using the left and right LCD buttons............................................................

You may have noticed that each item in the menu corresponds to one of the buttons to the left and right of the LCD. You can press one of these buttons to select the corresponding menu item directly — which is much quicker than using the and buttons.

Voice

A voice is one of the sounds the Clavinova uses to make music.

Refer to page 31 for more details about selecting voices.

Left and right LCD buttons

The buttons to the left and right of the LCD are referred to as the left and right LCD buttons.

Use any of the shaded controls to select a voice.

As you can see, the menu display lets you select voices using any of a number of controls: the two rightmost LCD buttons, any of the left and right LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [–]and [+] buttons. Try selecting different piano voices in this display before you move on.

Resetting a Function’s Value

After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button.

 

 

MASTER

SONG

MIXER

EQUALIZER FUNCTION

This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard.

The TUNE function in this display has and LCD buttons like the ones you used in the VOICE SELECT display. You can use these buttons to tune the keyboard up or down. Press and hold the button (or use the data dial or the [–]button) to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go.

If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the keyboard to the standard 440.0 Hz. You could use the button (or the data dial, or the [+] button) to return the value to its basic setting — but there’s an easier way:

When a function has a basic setting, you can reset it to that value by pressing both the and buttons (or both the [–]and [+] buttons) simultaneously. Try doing this now.

Basic settings

The functions of the Clavinova are set to certain standard values or standard conditions when the instrument is shipped. These settings and conditions are called the basic settings.

A function’s basic settings are generally noted in the sidebar together with the possible settings for that function.

You can also use the Recall function (page 207) to restore basic settings at any time.

Refer to page 188 for details on the TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions.

There are some functions whose settings cannot be returned to the basic value by pressing the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or [–] and

[+] buttons) simultaneously.

When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the next operation.

Displaying a Different Page

Whereas the and buttons of the VOICE function you used in the VOICE SELECT display change the menu selection, those of the TUNE function do not. The menu items in the FUNCTION display are not related to the TUNE function; instead, they represent different FUNCTION display pages. If you look again at the top of the display, you’ll see that you’re looking at a display named FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1], and it’s apparently the first of many function displays.

Remember that you can always select menu items using the left and right LCD buttons. Press the left LCD button that corresponds to PEDAL in the menu.

This button displays the FUNCTION [PEDAL] page, which you can use to adjust the operation of your Clavinova’s pedals. But wait — the box in

the upper right corner says this is page 3! We seem to have skipped right past page 2…

When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to change pages. Try pressing the [<] button now to see page 2.

PAGE

Page 2 is FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2], another page of keyboard settings. You can use the page buttons to select different pages of multi-page displays, not only in FUNCTION mode, but also in certain VOICE SELECT and STYLE SELECT displays. But don’t change the page yet: we’re going to use page 2 to discuss the next operation.

Display pages

Some displays are divided into two or more pages, indicated by a series of overlapping boxes in the upper right corner of the display. The number in the topmost box is the number of the current display page.

Refer to page 190 for details about the functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL] display page.

Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles

In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting directly without selecting the function.

By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD

— but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected.

The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus, effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is selected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still, FIXED VELOCITY remains selected.

There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode (see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is that you don’t select them, you execute them.

Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the

KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and

AUTO, respectively.

The FIXED VELOCITY function is described on page 189.

For more details on the KEY TOUCH function, refer to page 189.

For more details on the VOICE SETTING function, refer to page 189.

Exiting to the Main Display

To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button.

EXIT

DIRECT ACCESS

The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you selected in the VOICE SELECT [PIANO] display.

You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to the main display. In some cases, however, this button will return you to a previous setting display instead. When this happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get you back to the main display.

A Word about Messages

For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 221.

Saving Your Changes

Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you need to tell it which settings you want it to remember.

By default, the Clavinova will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which settings you want to remember:

You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 108). Once you have registered your settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons.

You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these settings when you turn the power back on. To do this, you need to change the settings of the Backup function (page 206).
