Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of musical pleasure.

●AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers a range of 60 rich, realistic voices.

●A maximum of 32-note polyphony permits use of sophisticated playing techniques.

●Piano-like touch response provides extensive expressive control and outstanding playability.

●Dual and split play modes allow 2 voices to be played simultaneously or individually with the left and right hands.

●24 exciting accompaniment styles can be used to provide rhythm-only accompaniment or fully-orches- trated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment.

●Full-keyboard ABC (Auto Bass Chord) provides accompaniment as you play across the entire keyboard.

●24 Solo Styleplay variations make it simple to produce rich, complex harmonies.

●Performance memory (2-track + ABC + Rhythm) records and plays back your keyboard performances.

●MIDI compatibility, GM voices, and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced MIDI music systems.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.

Taking Care of Your Clavinova

Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:

1. Avoid Humidity & Heat

7. Electric Interference

Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture

Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Power-off Before Connecting

Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

4. Handle With Care

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and cover the instrument with the dust cover provided.

5. Clean Carefully

Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry

Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

8. 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.

9. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in electrical shock!

■The Music Stand

■ The Power Switch

POWER

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand built into it’s top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, flip the support brackets on the rear of the music stand down so that they fit into the corresponding recesses.

The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting the stand and flipping the two brackets which support it upward.

After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a convenient AC wall outlet (a power-plug adaptor may be provided in some areas), press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.

When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector LED will light, the POP 1 style selector LED will light, and “78” will appear on the TEMPO display.

■ Headphones

A standard pairs of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.

RHYTHM BASS CHORD 1 CHORD 2

MIDI/

TRANSPOSE

Separate volume controls are provided for the RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS sound. These volume controls let you set up the best balance between the various accompaniment parts when the AUTO BASS CHORD (ABC) and Performance Memory features are used, and the RHYTHM volume control can be used to balance the keyboard and rhythm sound when only rhythm accompaniment is used.

The volume of the keyboard can be independently adjusted by using the BASS control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button — this is particularly handy for adjusting the balance when recording the Clavinova sound.

BASS

● Additional Volume Control Mode (Reverb Depth)

Using the “Auto Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 29), the Auto-Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to control individual reverb depths for the rhythm, bass, chord 1, and chord 2 parts.

The Internal Amplifier &

Speaker System

NOTES	• If any or all of the Auto Accompaniment volume controls are set to their minimum
	positions, no sound will be produced by the corresponding parts. The maximum
	control positions produce the normal volume levels.

The CVP-49 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per channel to a highperformance speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-49 speaker systems employ two 13centimeter speaker units for low-to-midrange reproduction, and two 5-centimeter speaker units for outstanding high-frequency sound.

6 Demonstration Playback

The Clavinova features 25 demonstration tunes that effectively demonstrate its sound and accompaniment capabilities. Here’s how you can select and play the demo tunes.

Dual Mode	9

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. This makes it easy to create exceptionally rich, thick tonal textures.

To engage the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time — or press one voice selector while holding another. A voice in the 13…60 range can be “dualed” with the panel voices by pressing the [VOICE 13-60] button and any other voice selector at the same time (two voices in the 13…60 range cannot be combined). The [s] and [t] buttons can then be used to select the desired 13…60 voice. The higher voice number will appear on the TEMPO display during selection.

The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

	TEMPO	ORGAN	CHOIR	UPR
				BAS

The volume balance between the two voices combined in the DUAL mode can be adjusted by using the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons while pressing both of the active voice selectors. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be shown on the TEMPO display while the voice selectors and TEMPO [▲] or [▼] buttons are held.

■A setting of “1” sets the volume of the lowest-numbered voice to maximum and the highest-numbered voice to minimum (no sound).

■A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume (this is the default balance setting, and can be recalled by pressing the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously).

■A setting of “15” sets the volume of the highest-numbered voice to maximum and the lowest-numbered voice to minimum (no sound).

NOTES •	Hold either the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button for continuous scrolling in the specified
	direction.
•	The dual mode cannot be used when the DRUMS voice is selected. Also, the
	dual and split modes cannot be used at the same time.

10 Split Mode

The split mode lets you play different voices with the left and right hands — bass with the left and piano with the right, for example. You can assign any of the Clavinova’s voices to the left and right-hand sections of the keyboard.

SPLIT

■ Engaging the Split Mode

SPLIT

F#2

When the [SPLIT] button is pressed and its indicator lights, the keyboard is split into leftand right-hand sections and different voices can be assigned to each. The split point is initially set at the F#2 key when the power is turned on, and the UPRIGHT BASS voice is initially assigned to the left-hand section of the keyboard (all keys up to and including F#2). The voice that was selected when the SPLIT mode was engaged is assigned to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The current settings are retained if the SPLIT mode is turned off (press the [SPLIT] button again) and on while the power remains on.

TEMPO

The volume balance between the left-hand and right-hand voices can be adjusted by using the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons while holding the [SPLIT] button. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be shown on the TEMPO display while the [SPLIT] and TEMPO [s] or [▼] buttons are held.

■A setting of “1” sets the volume of the left voice to maximum and the right voice to minimum (no sound).

■A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume (this is the default balance setting, and can be recalled by pressing the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously).

■A setting of “15” sets the volume of the right voice to maximum and the left voice to minimum (no sound).

	NOTES	• Hold either the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button for continuous scrolling in the specified
		direction.

■ Damper Pedal Operation in the Split Mode

SPLIT

The damper pedal (the right pedal — see “The Pedals” on page 14) can be assigned to the left voice only, the right voice only, or to both voices in the split mode.

■Right Voice Only (default): Press the right (damper) pedal while holding the

[SPLIT] button.

■Left Voice Only: Press the left (soft) pedal while holding the [SPLIT] button.

■Both Voices: Press both the right and left pedals while holding the [SPLIT] button.

NOTES • The dual and split modes cannot be used at the same time.

•In the split the soft and sostenuto pedal functions apply to both the leftand righthand voices.

•When the ABC Single Finger mode (page 20) and the split mode are used simultaneously, the left-hand voice will be accompanied by the appropriate ABC chord voices.

12 Digital Reverb Effects

The [REVERB] button provides a number of digital effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power.

REVERB

ROOM

HALL 1

HALL 2

COSMIC

■ Selecting a Reverb Effect

Each time the [REVERB] button is pressed the next effect on the reverb “list” is selected and the corresponding indicator will light. No effect is selected when no indicator is lit.

REVERB

ROOM

HALL 1

HALL 2

COSMIC

OFF (No indicator lit)

No effect is produced.

ROOM

This setting adds a reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.

HALL 1

For a more spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.

HALL 2

HALL 2 simulates the reverb of a very large concert hall.

COSMIC

“COSMIC” is an echo effect in which the sound seems to “bounce” around in the stereo sound field.

NOTES • The ROOM effect is automatically selected when the POWER switch is turned on.

■ Reverb Depth Control

REVERB

ROOM

HALL 1

HALL 2

COSMIC

The depth of the selected reverb effect can be increased or decreased by press-

	ing the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button while holding the [REVERB] button. The re-
	verb depth is shown on the TEMPO display while the [REVERB] and [▲] or [▼]
	buttons are held. The reverb depth range is from “0” (no effect) to “15” (maxi-
TEMPO	mum depth).
	NOTES • Reverb depth is initially set to “8” when the power is turned on (this setting can be
	recalled during reverb depth selection by pressing the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] but-
	tons simultaneously).

•Hold either the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction.

The Keyboard & Polyphony	13

The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once. This number varies, however, according to the functions being used, as shown in the chart below:

The follwing voices are 2-layer:

•No. 31 SYNTH WOOD

•No. 56 JAZZ ORGAN 2

•No. 58 COSMIC 1

•No. 60 COSMIC 3

Keyboard only	32 notes.
Keyboard only (dual)	16 notes.
Keyboard + rhythm	24 notes (rhythm uses 8).
Keyboard (dual) + rhythm	12 notes
Keyboard + ABC	12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12).
Keyboard (dual) + ABC	6 notes

●The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual mode or the performance memory is being played at the same time. Further variation occurs with “1-layer” and “2- layer” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices.

The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.

Pan

MIDI/

TRANSPOSE

RHYTHM

The pan settings are as follows:

PL6 PL5 PL4 PL3 PL2 PL1 P c (P d) Pr1 Pr2 Pr3 Pr4 Pr5 Pr6

Full	Center	Full
Left		Right

●The pan (stereo) position of the voice played on the keyboard can be adjusted by moving the RHYTHM volume control while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The pan position is shown on the TEMPO display, from “PL6” for full left at the “MIN” control position, through “P c ” for center, to “Pr6” for full right at the “MAX” control position. This can be used to produce a broader ensemble sound with the Performance Memory multitrack recording feature.

Each voice has a preset pan setting (indicated by “P d ” on the TEMPO display) which is automatically set when the power is first turned on.

NOTES

•The “P d ” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the trebleregister sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the left. Using a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes included, at the same position.

• The DRUMS voice has a preset PAN setting which cannot be changed.
