PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual 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:
Power supply/Power cord
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
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.
Do not open
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.
Water warning
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.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
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.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
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.
Assembly
Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
(1)B-7
Location
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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. Also check that all screws are tight and have not been loosened by moving the instrument.
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.

Connections
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo­nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini­mum. 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.
Maintenance
On the CVP-209, 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.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instru­ment.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
On the CVP-209, 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.
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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in acci­dent or injury.
Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
On the CVP-209 bench, do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
Current memory data (see page 40) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the User Drive (see page 40). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect opera­tion. Save important data to a floppy disk.
When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.
Backing up the floppy disk
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
mend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.

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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disk
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 data is not being written to the floppy disk. If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in the following operations, the messages “Now executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting” appears in the display.
• Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data (page 43 - 45).
• Naming files and folders (page 42); creating a new folder (page 45).
• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 150); formatting the disk (page 150).
6
Drive lamp
When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used.
CVP-209/207
• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the data is being written to the floppy disk. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. 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.
• 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 half­pressed 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 insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
• 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).
write-protect tab open (protect position)
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 to Disk function on page 150.
About the Floppy Disks
To handle oppy 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.

“The Clavinova-Computer Connection” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can
do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document is available as a PDF file (in English) at the following Internet address:
Clavinova Home Page .......................... http://www.yamahaclavinova.com/
Yamaha Manual Library
(Electronic Musical Instruments) ......... http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/
Maintenance
Clean the instrument using a dry, soft cloth or slightly damp, soft cloth (wring well).
CAUTION
Do not use benzine, thinner, detergent, or chemical cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic, or rubber products on the instrument.
Otherwise, the panel or keys may be discolored or degraded.
CAUTION
Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3 - 4.
Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of the box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. When transporting the assembled Clavinova, make sure all screws are properly tightened and have not been loosened by moving the instrument.

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 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.
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 high-quality 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 Style Creator feature.

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data
The CVP-209/207 utilizes a variety of data types — including voices, accompaniment styles, songs and registration memory settings. Much of this data is already programmed and contained in the CVP-209/207; you can also create and edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument. All this data is stored in separate files — just as is done on a computer. Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the CVP-209/207 in files and folders. Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these displays according to their respective file types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data efficiently by putting various files of the same type into a single folder. The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN display (the display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

Example Open/Save display for Voice
Each Open/Save display consists of PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK drive pages.
PRESET drive
The files that are pre­programmed and installed internally to the CVP-209/207 are kept here. Preset files can be loaded but cannot be re-written. However, you can use a preset file as a basis for creating your own original file (which can be saved in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive).
USER drive
Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or edited using the various functions of the CVP­209/207. They are stored internally to the CVP-209/207.
FLOPPY DISK drive
You can also store your original data to floppy disk. Commercially available disk software can also be called up here. Naturally, these files are available only when the appropriate disk is inserted in the floppy disk drive.

Current Memory
“Current Memory” is the area where the voice is called up when you select a voice. Also it is the area where you edit your voice using the SOUND CREATOR function. Your edited voice should then be saved as a file in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive. Recording songs (page 94) and creating accompaniment styles (page 110) are done within the current memory. Please make sure to properly save this data to the USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as a file or files. The data will be lost if you turn off the power without saving.

When JAPANESE” is selected for the Language parameter (pages 50, 151), and you change this to one of the western languages, the kanji and kana characters of the file name stored in the disk drive are changed to western characters. In the opposite case, special Latin characters and marks are changed into normal characters. Also, in the case of oppy disk data, text in the les are changed to characters that cannot be read by the instrument. Keep in mind that similar prob­lems may occur when trying to access les originating or edited by a computer having a different language operating system.

Help messages can be displayed in any one of the following languages:
ENGLISH JAPANESE GERMAN FRENCH SPANISH ITALIAN
The language can also be selected in the FUNCTION LANGUAGE (page 151) display.
When JAPANESE is selected for the Language parameter, and you change this to one of the western languages, the kanji and kana char­acters of the le name stored in the disk drive are changed to western characters. In the opposite case, special Latin characters and marks are changed into normal characters. Also, in the case of oppy disk data, text in the les are changed to char­acters that cannot be read by the instrument. Keep in mind that similar problems may occur when trying to access les originating or edited by a com­puter having a different language operating system. In general, be careful when switching languages you risk not being able to access the data properly.

Help messages also feature links to the detailed explanation or actual setting display of the selected topic. Simply select the underlined word (using the [DATA ENTRY] dial), and press the [ENTER] button to jump to the detailed explanation or actual setting display of the selected topic.

Voices
Voice Characteristics
The voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the voice name.
Natural!
These rich and luscious voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. Since they use a completely independent sound source, you can play full, sustained chords — even along with the accompaniment style — and not have to worry about notes cutting off. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
Live!
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound — full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool!
These voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments — thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophisticated programming.
Sweet!
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology — and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drum
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
Live!Drums
These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds.
Live! SFX
These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling. They give you a broader and more versatile range of Latin percussion than the normal drum voices.
Keyboard Percussion
When one of the drum of SFX kits is selected in the PERCUSSION voice group, various drum, percussion, and special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. The various drums and percussion instruments of the Standard Kit are indicated by symbols above the assigned keys. Keep in mind that even though different kits feature different sounds, some same-named sounds in different kits are identical. Refer to the separate Data List (Drum/key Assignment List) for a listing of the sounds in each drum/SFX kit.
One-touch Piano Play
This convenient, easy-to-use feature completely and automatically reconfigures the entire CVP-209/207 for optimum piano performance. No matter what settings you’ve made from the panel, you can instantly call up the piano settings by a single button press.
PIANO
PIANO button
This reconfigures all of the panel settings for playing the CVP-209/207 as a piano.
Piano Lock function
The convenient Piano Lock function lets you “lock” the piano so that you don’t inadvertently change the settings by pressing another button on the panel. Once locked, the CVP-209/207 stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are pressed — preventing you from accidently starting a song or accompaniment style during a piano concert.
Hold down the [PIANO] button for a short time, until a message appears prompting you to enable Piano Lock.
To enable Piano Lock, select “OK.” To turn Piano Lock off, hold down the [PIANO] button again for a short time.
You can also use the metro­nome with this function (page 51).
Even if you turn Piano Lock off, the piano settings are still active.

REVERB
Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a performance space — anything from a small jazz club to a concert hall.
DSP
The CVP-209/207 features a variety of dynamic built-in digital effects, letting you process the sound in various ways. You can use DSP to enhance the voices in subtle ways — such as by applying chorus to add animation and depth, or using a symphonic effect to give the sound warmth and richness. DSP also has effects such as distortion that can completely change the character of the sound. DSP is set for the currently selected part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT).

VARIATION (Not available for the Natural voices; page 89)
This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 123), this lets you switch the rotor speed between slow and fast.
CVP-209/207

HARMONY/ECHO
This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section of the keyboard (page 143).
MONO
This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically. Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the Portamento effect, when playing in legato.
LEFT HOLD
This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the same effect as when the damper (sustain) pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall accompaniment sound.
Voices
The Portamento effect creates a smooth pitch glide between successively played notes.
You can add special empha­sis to melody lines you play over chords by using the Layer function with a mono­phonic voice. Set the Main voice to play polyphonically and set the Layer voice to play monophonically (MONO). In this case, the melody you play including the top notes of any chords sounds monophonically. Try this using the following voices.
MAIN voice
(polyphonic) + Sweet Trump (monophonic)
: Brass Section
LAYER voice

Using the Pedals
The CVP-209/207 features three pedals.
Left Pedal
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.
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.
Damper Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
You can also assign one of many other functions to these pedals (as well as the optional foot controller or footswitch). For example, you can use it to start/stop the accompaniment style, or use it to play Fill-ins (page 139).
Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held.
Certain voices in the [PER- CUSSION] and [XG]
groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal.
Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed.
Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sos­tenuto pedal.
Left Pedal
When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected voice.
The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (
page 139
).
Foot Controller/Footswitch
An optional Yamaha foot controller (FC7) or footswitch (FC4 or FC5) can be connected to the AUX PEDAL jack and used to control various functions assigned in the FUNCTION page (page 139).

Styles
The CVP-209/207 features styles (accompaniment patterns) in a variety of different musical genres including pops, jazz, Latin and dance. To use it, all you have to do is play the chords with your left hand as you perform and the selected Accompaniment Style (style) matching your music will automatically play along, instantly following the chords you play. Try selecting some of the different styles (refer to separate Data List (Style List) ) and play them.

Accompaniment Style Characteristics
The dening characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display.
Session!
These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate or even harmonically correct for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an on­bass chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment.
Piano Combo!
These accompaniment styles feature a basic piano trio (piano, bass, and drums), augmented in some cases with other instruments. Since this is a small combo sound, the accompaniment backing is appropriately sparse, making it useful and effective for a wide variety of songs.
Pianist!
These special styles provide piano-only accompaniment effectively recreating the left-hand performance of an accomplished pianist. Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated arpeggios and bass/chord patterns such as difcult-to-play stride piano parts.

Chord Fingerings
The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of fingerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 139), and select the Chord Fingerings. The page shows how to play chords with your left hand.
SINGLE FINGER
Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used.
For a major chord, press the root key only. For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key
and a black key to its left.
For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
MULTI FINGER
The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. If you want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord.
Chord detection in the AI Full Keyboard mode occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords less than an 8th note in length may not be detected.
FINGERED
This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various chord types listed on the next page.
FINGERED ON BASS
This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED mode, but the lowest note played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C).
FULL KEYBOARD
This method detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
In Full Keyboard mode, chords are detected based on the lowest and second lowest notes you play. If the two lowest notes fall within a single octave, those two notes determine the chord. If the lowest note and the sec­ond lowest note are sepa­rated by more than one octave, the lowest note becomes the bass and the chord is determined from the second lowest note and the other notes played in the same octave.
AI FINGERED
This mode is basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD
AI
Articial Intelligence
When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the CVP-209/207 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This mode is similarto FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th and 11th chords cannot be played.

For keyboard performance
Follow Lights
When this is selected, you can see which notes you should play by watching the key guide lamps. They light up in time with music, showing you when to play a note. You can also practice at your own pace — since the accompaniment waits for you to play the notes correctly.
Accompaniment Guide If the song data you’re using contains chord data and the [ACMP] button is turned on, you can use the guide lamps (page 137) to help you play chords as well. Watch the guide lamps and try playing the appropriate chords.
Any Key
With this function, you can play the melody of a song simply by pressing a single key (any key is OK) in time with the rhythm. As long as you play the key in time with the music, the melody flows smoothly with the song.
You can also determine the timing by which the key guide lamps light to t your playing preference (Guide Lamp Timing; page 137).
n
If you want to learn how to play certain chords, use the Chord Tutor function (page 139).

The Accompaniment Guide function cannot be used if the chord ngering method is set to Single Finger, Full
keyboard or AI Full Key­board.
For sing-along performance
Karao-Key
This convenient function lets you control the song and accompaniment playback with just one finger, while you sing along. Simply play a key on the keyboard in time with the music — any key is fine — and the accompaniment parts of the song follow your playing. This lets you control the timing and tempo of the song and accompaniment to perfectly match your singing performance.

Natural Voices and Regular Voices
Built into the CVP-209/207 are two different tone generation sources, Natural and XG. The Natural tone generation source and its voices feature a huge amount of wave memory, giving you enormous and finely detailed expressive power over the sound. The XG source (which powers the Regular voices) provide maximum compatibility with a wide variety of devices and song data.
The maximum amount of polyphony for each tone generation source is set up to best
Voices sounded with the XG source are divided into two groups. One is the original set of Clavinova voices (Cool!, Sweet!, Live!, Live!Drums, Organ Flutes), and the other is the conven­tional XG set.

EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
• ATTACK ...... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum
level after the key is played. The higher the value, the slower the attack.
• DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain
level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher the value, the slower the decay.
• RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after
the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release.
VIBRATO
• DEPTH........ Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher
settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato.
• SPEED......... Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect (see diagram).
• DELAY ........ Determines the amount of time that elapses between the
playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
If RELEASE is set to a large value, the sustain becomes long.
VIBRATO
Creates a wavering in the sound by periodically chang­ing the pitch.

EFFECT/EQ
The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 88.
NATURAL VOICE
Determines the effect type (Reverb/ Chorus/DSP). When a regular voice is selected, the DSP type and Variation are set in two separate menus. For information on the effect structure, see page 126; for a list of available effect types, refer to the separate Data List.
This parameter enables you to select whether the sound is sustained while you press the keys on the keyboard (PIANO LIKE), or the sound is sustained only while you press and hold down the sustain pedal, like playing a real vibraphone (NORMAL”) (for Vibraphone voice).
The same as the Mixing Console on page 123.
REGULAR VOICE
Determines the brilliance of the tone, when a Natural voice is selected. This can also be set from the PIANO page (page 90), when a piano voice is selected.
Metallic .........Sharp metallic tone
Bright............Bright tone
Normal .......... Standard tone
Mellow ..........Soft and mellow tone
Dark ..............Dark tone
If you select [Bright] or
[Metallic] as the type of brilliance, the volume level will increase slightly. In this case, raising the [MASTER VOLUME] may result in distortion. If this happens, lower the vol­ume accordingly.
•“SPEED parameter is added when selecting VIBE ROTOR DSP type. This parameter enables you to set the speed of vibrato when you select the Vibraphone voice, rec­reating the effect of a vibe rotor pedal.

The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16’ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1’ setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

About Song Recording
Quick Recording (page 95)
This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano song you are practicing. You can select from three parts: right hand, left hand and auto accompaniment. For example, you can record only your right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right hand and the auto accompaniment.
Multi Recording (page 96)
This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance.
Step Recording (page 98)
This method is like writing music notation on paper. It lets you enter each note individually, by specifying the pitch and length. This is ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are difficult to play.
Song Editing (page 104)
The CVP-209/207 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods.

FREEZE MEMORY
The internal memory capacity of the Clavinova is about 3.3MB. Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD oppy disks is about 720KB and
1.44MB, respectively. When you store data to these locations, all file types of the Clavinova (Voice, Style, Song, Registration, etc.) are stored together.
The microphone input signal can­not be recorded.
Songs recorded on the CVP-209/ 207 are automatically recorded as SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) data. For details on SMF see page 159.
Playback of the recorded song data can be transmitted from MIDI OUT, letting you play the sounds of a connected external tone genera­tor (page 146).
The volume level of each channel of the song can be adjusted from the Mixing Console and the set­tings can be saved. Moreover, even after youve set a voice for your keyboard play during recording, you can record voice selections, so that the voice changes automati­cally during playback (page 106).
