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.

• 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

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:

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.

• 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-connector. 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation

Using the LCD Display Controls

You will refer to the LCD displa y 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.

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, indi- cating 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.

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 pr oduce any sound, no matter how high you set the [MASTER V OLUME] slider!

Using the LCD Display Controls

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.

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.

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!

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.

SYNTHE-

PIANO

E. PIANO GUITAR

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.

SIZER

Voice

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

Refer to page 31 for more details about selecting 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. Y ou can press one of these buttons to select the corresponding menu item directly — which is much quicker than using the ▲ and ▼ 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.

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.

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

MIXE R FUNCT ION

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.

EQUALIZ ER

Using the LCD Display Controls

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.

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 ke yboard to the standard

440.0 Hz. Y ou 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.

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.

CVP-109/107/105/700

Using the LCD Display Controls

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.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

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.

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.

PAG E

Page 2 is FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2], another page of keyboard settings. Y ou 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.

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.

Using the LCD Display Controls

The FIXED VELOCITY function is described on page 189.

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

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.

Exiting to the Main Display

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

EXI T DIRECT ACCES

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

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

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.

When you press [DIRECT A CCESS], the “Press a button to display corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD 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 Clavinov a 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).

CVP-109/107/105/700

Adjusting the Volume

The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume and the accompaniment or song playback volume. There are also settings that you can use to adjust the keyboard volume and the volume of each part of the automatic accompaniment or song.

Playing Two Voices Simultaneously — Dual Mode

The Dual mode of the Clavinova allows you to select and play two different voices simultaneously in a layer. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich and thick tonal te xtures. You can also set the volume, octave, and stereo position for the second voice, and detune the second voice from the main voice to create a thicker sound.

Using the Pedals

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

The Clavinova has three pedals.

Damper Pedal (Right)

The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing the keys. On the CVP-109/107/700, you can also set the damper pedal to bend the pitch of notes up or down using the RIGHT PEDAL function (page 191).

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held, but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

the notes you play.

You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for exam-

ple, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to play Fill Ins. See page 190 for details.

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal.

• Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed.

The effect of the soft pedal may differ slightly depending on the selected voice.

CHAPTER 4: Reverb and Other

Reverb

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Reverb is an eff ect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a perf ormance space — anything from a room in a jazz club to a concert hall. The Clavinova lets you choose from a variety of rev erb effects; the CVP-109 giv es you the additional option of using the high-quality Natural Reverb — effects of a caliber normally employed in professional recording studios. Of course, you can set the depth of any re verb eff ect to your preference. With the CVP-109/107/700, you can also apply re verb effects to the signal from the microphone using the Vocal Harmony settings (see page 177).

Chorus Type

• Settings: See table on page 219.

• Basic setting: Depends on style.

➔ The selected chorus type is highlighted.

CVP-107/700

Because the basic setting of the chorus type depends on the accompaniment style, the chorus type may change automatically when you select a different style.

CVP-109/107/105/700

• The chorus type selection affects all keyboard parts. Different settings cannot be made for each part.

• Depending on the selected voice, the depth of the effect may sound stronger or weaker, even though the same chorus type is selected.

• It is also possible to apply chorus effects to the keyboard voices using the [EFFECT] button. See the Effect Type List on page 219 for details.

• If both the [CHORUS] button and the [REVERB] and/or [EFFECT] buttons are turned on, all effects will be applied.

Voice Effects (CVP-109/107/700)

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

The Clavinova has a variety of effects besides reverb and chorus that you can use to enhance the sound of the voices or create wild, special effects. The CVP-109/107/700 features two complete effect systems, which you can apply individually to any of the voices you play from the keyboard. You can adjust the depth of the effects as desired. The CVP-109/107/700 also applies an independent effect to the signal from the microphone; settings for this effect system can be made in the VOCAL HARMONY display (page 179).

corresponding to the keyboard part whose effect you want to turn on.

➔ The selected function is highlighted.

Page 55

○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

If the lamp does not light, neither effect system has been assigned to

the part in question. Check the PART function settings (page 57).

If the lamp lights but the sound of the voice does not change, the effect

depth may have been set to 0. Check the effect depth settings (page 57).

To turn an effect off, select the part that uses that effect in the main

display and press [EFFECT] again.

➔ The lamp turns off, and the effect icon and effect type are no

longer displayed.

Because the basic setting of the [EFFECT] button depends on the

voice, the effect(s) may turn on or off automatically when you select a different voice.

Changing the Effect Settings

You can change the effect type, depth and affected part using the set-

tings on the EFFECT pages.

Voice Effects (CVP-109/107/700)

• The setting of the [EFFECT] button

has no effect on song mode or Auto Accompaniment playback, or on audio signals input via a microphone (CVP109/107/700).

• When an effect system is used by a

song, it is automatically turned off for the keyboard part(s) when that song is selected for playback. If you press [EFFECT] to apply an effect to the keyboard part(s) after selecting the song, the effect will not be applied to the song.

You can change the effect type selection for one of the effect systems

in the appropriate EFFECT display (page 55). Select an effect type using the EFFECT TYPE ▲ and ▼ buttons, or highlight the EFFECT TYPE function and use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons.

You can also use the left and right LCD buttons to select one of the

effect types listed in the display screen.

To reset the effect type to its basic setting, simultaneously press the

EFFECT TYPE ▲ and ▼ buttons or the [–] and [+] buttons.

➔ The selected effect type is highlighted.

Effect Type

• Settings: See table on page 219.

• Basic setting: Depends on voice.

Because the basic setting of the effect type depends on the voice, the

effect type may change automatically when you select a different voice.

■ Varying the Effect.............................................................................................

Each of the Clavinova’s effect types has a variation that can be selected using the VARIATION functions in the EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 displays (page 55). To vary the effect produced by the effect type selected for an effect system, display the EFFECT page for that system, then press the LCD button under VARIATION.

➔ The value displayed by the VARIATION function switches be-

tween OFF and ON, and the effect changes.

The way in which the effect changes depends on the effect type (see the table on page 219). Also, because the basic setting of the VARIA- TION function depends on the voice, the setting of this function may change automatically when you select a different voice.

If both the [EFFECT] button and the [REVERB] and/or [CHORUS] buttons are turned on, all effects will be applied.

VARIATION

• Settings: OFF, ON

• Basic setting: Depends on voice.

■ Setting the Affected Part .................................................................................

You can use the PART function in each EFFECT display to select the keyboard part that is to be affected by the corresponding effect system. To change the part affected by one of the effect systems, display the EFFECT page for that system, then press the LCD button under PART.

➔ The value of the PART function changes, displaying each of the

settings (R1, R2, LEFT, and OFF) in turn.

Since the changing the value of the PART function means the effect will probably be applied to a different voice, the effect type (page 56) and effect depth (see below) may also change automatically to match the voice that is currently selected for the chosen part.

PART

Settings: R1 (main)

R2 (second) LEFT OFF (no effect)

Basic settings: R1 (EFFECT 1)

R2 (EFFECT 2)

When neither effect system has been assigned to the keyboard part that is currently selected in the main display, the [EFFECT] button cannot be used to turn an effect on.

■ Setting the Effect Depth .............................................................................

The DEPTH function in each of the EFFECT pages lets you adjust the depth of the currently selected effect type. To set the depth of the effect produced by an effect system, select DEPTH in the appropriate EFFECT page, then and use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to change the value.

➔ The DEPTH value changes.

You can also advance the value by holding down the DEPTH button. To reset the value to its basic setting, simultaneously press the [–] and [+] buttons.

Since the basic setting of the DEPTH function depends on the voice selected for the part affected by the effect system in question, the effect depth may change automatically when you select a different voice.

DEPTH

• Range: 0 (no effect) - 127 (max.)

• Basic setting: Depends on voice.

The effect depth cannot be changed for certain effect types. In such cases a row of dashes ( - - -) is displayed as the DEPTH setting, and the DEPTH function cannot be selected.

Main A is generally the most rudimentary f orm of the style; the other variations are more or less lavish embellishments on the same basic theme. By judiciously switching between variations as you play, you can add variety and make the performance more interesting.

■ Selecting a Variation........................................................................................

You can select a style variation before you start playing the style. To select a variation, simply press the corresponding button.

AUTO ACCOMPANI MENT

ACMP ON

INTRO

➔ The button’s lamp lights.

AUTO FILL

MAIN BMAIN A MAIN C MAIN D ENDING

The Clavinova will begin playing the selected style variation when you start the style using one of the methods described in the next section.

■ Playing Fill-in Patterns..................................................................................

If you select a different style variation while the style is playing, the Clavinova will play an automatic fill-in pattern as it switches to the new variation. The fill-in pattern, like the main pattern, is different for each variation.

Fill-in patterns

A “fill-in pattern” is a embellishment of the basic rhythm, usually played at the end of a musical phrase as an exciting transition into the next segment.

CVP-109/107/105/700

Page 64

Playing the Accompaniment Styles

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

To change the variation while the style is playing, press the button

corresponding to the new variation.

➔ The button’s lamp flashes as the Clavinova plays the fill-in pattern.

Generally speaking, the Clavinova will start the fill-in pattern soon after you press the button. If you select a variation after the last eighth note of a measure, however, it will begin the fill-in pattern from the start of the next measure.

➔ When the fill-in pattern is finished, the button’s lamp lights steadily

as the Clavinov a plays the main pattern.

The auto fill-in feature provides an exciting transition as you switch from one variation to another. If Main A is playing and you press [MAIN B], for example, the Clavinova will play Fill-in B, then start playing Main B.

■ More Fun With Fill-ins....................................................................................

Using the Pedals

You can also use the left pedal to pause the style or play a special fill-in pattern by setting the LEFT PEDAL function (page

190) to BREAK or BREAK FIL.

You can also play fill-in patterns without selecting a different variation. Just press the button for the variation that is playing. The Clavinova will play the fill-in for that variation, then return to the main pattern.

● Changing the Fill-in

It is possible to switch variations while a fill-in pattern is playing. The

Clavinova will switch to the fill-in pattern for the new variation, then

continue with the new main pattern as usual.

● Repeating the Fill-in

If you hold down the flashing button, or press it after the last eighth

note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the f ill-in pat-

tern will be repeated.

● Canceling the Fill-in

If you press the flashing button earlier than the last eighth note of the

measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the Clavinova will stop

playing the fill-in pattern and continue with the main pattern.

Starting the Accompaniment Style

There are several ways to start the accompaniment style, as described below:

■ Standard Start.........................................................................................................

This is the simplest way to start a style. If necessary, select a variation as described on page 63, then press the [START/STOP] button.

■ T ap Start ........................................................................................................................

This function lets you set the tempo and start the style in one opera-

tion.

If necessary, select a variation as described on page 63, then tap the

[TAP] button at the desired tempo. Tap four times for 2- and 4-beat styles, three times for 3-beat styles, and five times for 5-beat styles.

• If the [SYNCHRO] button is pressed while a style is playing, style playback stops and Synchronized Start is automatically set to stand-by.

• When you play the keyboard in Split mode (page 41) or use the Auto Accompaniment in a mode other than FULL KEYBOARD (page 73), only the left-hand section of the keyboard will trigger a synchronized start.

To cancel the Synchronized Start function before you start the style, press the [SYNCHRO] button again.

Using the Auto Accompaniment

You can use one of several methods to indicate the chords that are to be played by the Auto Accompaniment. Choose the accompaniment mode that best suits your playing style.

● Single Finger

The Single Finger method makes it easy to obtain accompaniment in major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys (according to simple rules) to the left of the split point indicated by the keyboard guide lamp. (See page 72.)

● Multi Finger

When you select the Multi Finger mode, you can use either the Single Finger method or the Fingered 1 method to indicate chords for the accompaniment. (See page 72.)

Detailed explanations of each accompaniment mode are given on pages 72 and

73.

● Fingered 1

The Fingered 1 method lets you control the Auto Accompaniment by playing full chords to the left of the split point. (See page 72.)

● Fingered 2

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered 1 mode, with the exception that the lowest note played to the left of the split point is used as the bass root (in Fingered 1 mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass root). Hence, you can select this mode to play “on bass” or “fraction” chords. (See page 73.)

● Full Keyboard

The Full Keyboard mode automatically produces appropriate automatic accompaniment for virtually anything you play, anywhere on the keyboard. (See page 73.)

Accompaniment Modes

● Single Finger

To control the Auto Accompaniment, press one, two, or three keys in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point), following the rules described below. Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment.

■ Single Finger Chords

The following four chord types can be played in Single Finger mode:

• The Clavinova displays the names of the chords you play at the left edge of the main display, below the measure number.

• The same accompaniment continues (even after you release the chord in the left range) until you play the next chord.

• Major

Press the root note of the chord.

• Minor [m]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any black key to the left of it.

• Seventh [7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white key to the left of it.

• Minor Seventh [m7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once).

● Multi Finger

This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1 method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black key nearest the root note of the chord.

The illustration below shows the key corresponding to each root note.

F# Ab Bb

C# Eb

(Db)(D#)

CDEFGAB

(Gb)(G#)(A#)

● Fingered 1

To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment.

CVP-109/107/105/700

• The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

• If the Clavinova cannot recognize a chord you play, an asterisk “ * ” will appear instead of the chord name in the display.

• Drums-only accompaniment can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (e.g., C, C#, D) simultaneously. This lets you create dynamic “drum breaks” in the accompaniment. A series of dashes “- - -” will appear instead of a chord name in the display.

Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Playing with the Auto Accompaniment

● Fingered 2

To control the Auto Accompaniment, play chords in the left range of the keyboard as for Fingered 1. In this mode, however, the lowest note you play in the will be used as the bass root, as shown at right.

■ Chords in Fingered 2 mode

The Clavinova will recognize the same chord types as listed above for

Fingered 1 mode.

● Full Keyboard

When the Full Keyboard mode is selected, the Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display.

On-bass Chords

C on G

• Although Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many types of music, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may not be detected.

Keep in mind…

You can use the Dual and Split modes together with the Auto Accompaniment.

■ Advanced Accompaniment Assistance...................................

Here are some other things you can do with Accompaniment Assist-

ance data.

● Changing Part Volumes

You can program volume changes for the Auto Accompaniment parts.

Used judiciously, these can help you create professional-sounding dynamic changes in your performance. To do this, press the [MIXER] button and change the part volume settings as desired, then press [EXIT] to return to the ACMP ASSIST display. The volume event symbol (which looks like a speaker) should now appear in the box in the middle of the display. Press the SET button to set the volume change as entered.

● Changing the Tempo

You can also program tempo changes in the middle of a performance.

Simply position the cursor at the point where you want the tempo to change, then use the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons to select the new tempo. The new tempo is displayed in the box in the middle of the ACMP ASSIST display. Press the SET button to set the tempo change as entered.

An initial volume event is automatically entered at the top of the first measure, based on the current part volume settings when the ACMP ASSIST display is first opened.

An initial tempo event is automatically entered at the top of the first measure, based on the current tempo settings when the ACMP ASSIST display is first opened.

● Entering a Rhythm Break

You can have Accompaniment Assistance play the rhythm part alone (without other accompaniment) as a transitional “rhythm break.” To do this, you must record a “no chord” event at the beginning of the break. Press any three adjacent keys (two white keys and a black key, or vice versa) in the left range of the keyboard when using the Fingered 1 or Fingered 2 mode, or select TYPE and use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to display a series of dashes (- - -) as the setting for that function. Then press the SET button to register the break.

● Entering an Accompaniment Break

A complete break can be useful if you want to play the keyboard part solo. To create an accompaniment break, set a “no chord” event as described above, and turn the rhythm off as described on the next page.

● Entering an “Accompaniment Off” Event

When you first open the ACMP ASSIST display to create new Accompaniment Assistance data, an “accompaniment on” event is registered at the top of the first measure. You can enter an “accompaniment off” event by moving the cursor to the top of the first measure, pressing the [ACMP ON] button so the lamp turns off, and pressing the SET but- ton. See the sidebar on page 86 for details regarding the use of “accompaniment off” events in Accompaniment Assistance playback.

■ Other Accompaniment Assistance Functions..................

Page 2 of the ACMP ASSIST display contains some useful functions

that help you to enter Accompaniment Assistance data more efficiently.

● ALL DELETE function

To delete all of the Accompaniment Assistance data and start from scratch, press the ALL DELETE button. An “Are you sure?” message is displayed. Press YES to delete the data, or NO to cancel.

● DELETE function

To delete the Accompaniment Assistance data at the current cursor location, press the DELETE button. An “Are you sure?” message is displayed. Press YES to execute the operation, or NO to cancel.

● END MARK function

This function is used to enter an “end mark” that identifies the end of the Accompaniment Assistance data (see page 83). An end mark should generally be entered to properly end the data. The cursor cannot be moved past an end mark. You can delete an end mark with the DELETE function, just as with other data.

● RHYTHM ON/OFF function

To turn the rhythm part on or off, press the RHYTHM ON/OFF but- ton followed by the SET button.

No rhythm sounds are produced following the location at which a “rhythm off” event has been entered; the rhythm starts sounding again from the location to which a “rhythm on” event is entered.

The status of the rhythm part is indicated by the drum symbol in the box in the middle of the display.

Other Auto Accompaniment Functions

• An end mark is unnecessary when an ending pattern or fade-out event has been programmed.

• If the Accompaniment Assistance data is not ended by an end mark, an ending pattern, or a fade-out event, playback will end one measure after the last entered data.

An initial “rhythm on” event is automatically entered at the top of the first measure.

This mark indicates that the rhythm part is playing.

■ Playing with Accompaniment Assistance.............................

sistance data:

Z Turn on Accompaniment Assistance.

X Turn on the Auto Accompaniment.

Press the [ACMP ON] button.

➔ The [ACMP ON] lamp lights, and the current accompaniment

mode is indicated at the left edge of the main display.

The [SYNCHRO] lamp also lights, indicating that you can start the Auto Accompaniment with the Synchronized Start function (page 65). Also, a keyboard lamp shows the current split point.

C Start playing.

Press the [START/STOP] button, or start playing the keyboard.

➔ The Auto Accompaniment starts playing automatically, including

any section changes and chord changes indicated by the previously recorded Accompaniment Assistance data.

Play the keyboard part in the right-hand range of the keyboard, along with the Auto Accompaniment. (The left-hand range can be used to indicate chords, as described below in “Playing the Chords Yourself.”)

■ Other Ways to Use Accompaniment Assistance............

● Playing the Chords Yourself

Since the Clavinova will respond to the chords you indicate in the left range of the keyboard when the [ACMP ON] lamp is lit, you can manually change chords even if the Accompaniment Assistance data already includes chord changes. The Auto Accompaniment will always play the most recently detected chord, regardless of whether that chord was indicated by the Accompaniment Assistance data or the keyboard.

If you want to play all the chord changes (while the Accompaniment Assistance function controls the style changes for you), simply don’t include any chord changes in the Accompaniment Assistance data.

You can play back song data and Accompaniment Assistance data at the same time. However, you will not be able to use the [REW] or [FF] buttons, or any of the Repeat (page 122) and Guide Control (page 125) functions that are normally available during song playback. Moreover, the style changes and time signature information in the Accompaniment Assistance data will take priority over those in the song; any rhythm, bass, and chord parts recorded in the song will therefore not play back. The playback tempo will be determined by tempo data in the song, however.

If you have already included chords in your Accompaniment Assistance data, but later decide that you want to play the chords yourself, you don’t have to go to the trouble of erasing them. You can achieve the same result by adding an “accompaniment off” event at the top of the first measure (see page 84), then starting the Auto Accompaniment as described in “Playing with Accompaniment Assistance,” above.

● Using the Entire Keyboard

To pla y a keyboard part using the entir e rang e of the keyboard, just omit step 2 of the procedure above. (You will also have to press [SYNCHRO] before you start playing if you want to use the Synchronized Start function.) You won’t be able to indicate chords manually, but the Auto Accompaniment will still play according to the Accompaniment Assistance data.

● Playing the Style Without Auto Accompaniment

By combining the two techniques described above, you can have the Accompaniment Assistance control only the style changes played by the rhythm section without using the other accompaniment parts, to provide an automatic percussion-only accompaniment. Just don’t include any chord changes in the Accompaniment Assistance da ta, and leave the [ACMP ON] button off when you start playing. You will be able to play along to a simple percussion accompaniment, using the entire range of the keyboard.

■ Saving and Loading Your Data...........................................................

Since the Clavinova’s memory can only hold one set (up to 999 measures) of Accompaniment Assistance data at a time, you may want to save your data on a disk so that you can load it again after programming other sets.

You can save and load Accompaniment Assistance data using the functions in the FUNCTION [DISK 1] display (see page 192).

CVP-109/107/105/700

As was mentioned above, if you have already programmed chords in your Accompaniment Assistance data, you can achieve the same result by adding an “accompaniment off” event at the top of the first measure (see page 84).

You can also record the Accompaniment Assistance data to a floppy disk using the Song Record function.

• Playback of the custom style can be started and stopped by pressing the [START/STOP] button. (Data cannot be recorded while playback is stopped.)

• All notes are automatically stopped at the end of the style (i.e., at the point between repeats when recording). It is therefore not advisable to record over this point.

When recording a drum kit voice in part R1 or R2, you can clear a single drum instrument from the part by pressing the key corresponding to the instrument to be cleared while holding down the C1 key on the keyboard. (The C1 key is labeled “CANCEL.”) The metronome timing guide can also be cleared in this way.

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear all parts in the selected section.

> Quantize the recorded part, if necessary...............................

You can “tighten up” the timing of a recorded part by using the PART QUANTIZE functions in page 2 of the CUSTOM STYLE display to

align all the notes to a specified beat. Press the PAGE [>] button to dis- play the function, then press the middle LCD button to select the quantize size:

Once the required quantize size has been selected, press the START LCD button to quantize the current part. The part will begin to play using the new timing, and the START button will change to UNDO, allowing you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once another button has been pressed.

Other Custom Style Functions

In addition to the various functions described in the basic custom style recording procedure, above, the CUSTOM STYLE display pages include several other functions that you may find useful when creating custom styles.

■ RECALL SECTION function .....................................................................

This function makes it possible to recall the last-stored version of the currently selected section (all parts of the section are recalled). Simply press the RECALL SECTION LCD button in page 2 of the CUSTOM STYLE display. If the Clavinova cannot recall the preceding operation (i.e., after time signature has been changed), the “Can’t recall!” message will be displayed. If this happens, press OK to return to the previous display.
