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.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• 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 multipleconnector. 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.
• 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.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the
minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure
to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• 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
Using the bench (If included)
Saving data
• 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
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur
and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the
wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
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.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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 use the instrument/device or headphones 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.
• 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 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.
• 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 and backing up your data
• Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the
power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 68), USB
storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc).
• Data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to a USB storage device.
When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that
page, Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI
settings, etc.) 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 USB storage device
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard
specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased
polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the
GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control
over Voices and effects.
Included Accessories
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric
data is played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an
enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

instrument is processed to create a spacious sensation.
Spatial Effect creates a sense of reverberation and
spaciousness by picking up the output sound using
internal microphones and output the sound from the
speaker on the rear of the instrument. The spread and
spaciousness of the sound is different depending on
the depth. The default setting for the depth is 0.
For lower depth settings: This creates the resonance
and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is
characteristic of acoustic instruments by creating a

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you
Maintenance
periodically follow the maintenance points below.
■ Instrument and Bench Maintenance
• 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.
If you are using a model with a polished finish, 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.
To k eep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s
surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the
instructions for proper usage.
• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.
■ Bench Height Adjustment
The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench. (Before shipment,
the handle is firmly fastened.)
■ Pedal Cleaning
As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a
compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper
usage.
CAUTION
Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, the pedal may become discolored or
degraded.
■ Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
■ Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport the instrument 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 instrument, make
sure all screws are properly tightened and have not
been loosened by moving the instrument.
(CVP-509) After transporting the instrument, do the
following to ensure optimum performance of the
iAFC function (page 34).
• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least
10 cm away from the wall.
• (When using the SPATIAL EFFECT) Perform the
automatic adjustment of the iAFC function.

• Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice
name—Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference
Manual.
In this section, only MegaVoice and Super Articulation Voices (SA and SA2) are
explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and
they require specific performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive
qualities.
MegaVoices (CVP-509/505/503)
What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity
range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance
techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds
would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired
effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to
play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are,
however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when
you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
Super Articulation Voices (CVP-509/505)
The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity
between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as
staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices
and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle
musical expressions, simply by how you play. (SA2 Voices are available only on
the CVP-509.)
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices are
only compatible with other models
which have those types of Voices
installed. Any Song or Style data
you’ve created on the instrument
using these Voices will not sound
properly when played back on other
instruments.
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices
sound differently depending on the
keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc.
Hence, if you apply HARMONY/ECHO
effect, change the transpose setting or
change the Voice Set parameters,
unexpected or undesired sounds may
result.
• SA Voices (S.Articulation!)
The SA Voices provide many of same benefits as the MegaVoices, but with
greater playability and expressive control in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a
very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a
saxophone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert
Guitar Voice, the D note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string
being plucked again.
Depending on how you play, other effects such as shake or breath noises (for
the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be produced.
40 CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual
• SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!) (CVP-509)
Mainly for wind instrument Voices, a special Yamaha technology called
AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive
techniques used on those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to
“join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a
note, etc.
You can add these articulations by playing legato or staccato, or by jumping
in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you
hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.
Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a
note for over a certain time.
You can also use the pedals to add articulations to the SA and SA2 Voices (page 43).
For details on how to best play each SA and SA2 Voice, call up the information
window (pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).
AEM Technology
When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively
fixed C note. When you play a wind instrument, however, a single fingering may
produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the note
length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques.
Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these
two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they would on a
piano.
NOTE
The characteristics of SA2 Voices
(default vibrato setting and articulation effects applied by the pedals) are
effective for real-time performance;
however, these effects may not be
completely reproduced when you play
back a Song which has been recorded
using SA2 Voices.
2
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this
characteristic of instruments. During performance, the most appropriate sound
samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled
data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an
actual acoustic instrument.
This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of
realistic vibrato. Conventionally on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is
applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by
analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the
disaggregated data in real time during your performance.

Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices
CVP-501CVP-503CVP-505CVP-509
With the center/left pedals, you can add articulation effects and characteristic
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2
Voice, the function of center and left pedals are switched to control articulation
effects.
Three examples of effects are introduced to the following. The applied articulation
effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Information
display called up by pressing the [7 ▲] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection
display.
■ Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard
playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath
noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret
noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes
as you play.
NOTE
SA2 Voices are available only on the
CVP-509. SA Voices are available
only on the CVP-509/505.

Styles
NOTE
– Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and
rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of
different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many
others. The Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting
you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply
by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you
automatically recreate the sound of a full band or
orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style
Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along
with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,
however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.
1 Press one of the STYLE category selection buttons to call up
the Style Selection display.
2 Press one of the [A] – [J] buttons to select the desired Style.
Pressing one of the [1▲] – [4▲] buttons or pressing the same STYLE button
again can call up the other display page.
The rhythm does not sound for some
Styles. When you want to use any of
these Styles, always make sure that
[ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on.
3 Confirm that the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is off.

Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset
Style icon.
• Pro (P): These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements
combined with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly
follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
• Session (S): These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic back-

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
ing 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. Keep in mind, however, that 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 for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or
playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unexpected
accompaniment.
• Free Play (F) (CVP-509/505): These Styles are characterized by rubato
performance. You can perform freely with remarkably expressive accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
• Pianist (P): These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just
by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically
add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord patterns.
Style file compatibility
The CVP-509/505/503/501 uses the SFF GE file format (page 9). The CVP509/505/503/501 can play back existing SFF files, but they will be saved in
the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in the CVP-509/505/
503/501. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on
instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.

Adjusting the Overall Volume Using the Master Compressor
CVP-501CVP-503CVP-505CVP-509
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics
(softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics,
such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound.
