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.

Before using the instrument, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS” on pages 6-7. For information on assembling the instrument, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT – Vérifiez votre alimentation électrique –

Vériﬁez que la tension de votre alimentation secteur correspond à celle qui est spéciﬁée sur la plaque du fabricant, située sur le panneau inférieur. Dans certaines régions, un sélecteur de tension peut être installé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier principal, à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Assurez-vous que le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur la tension utilisée dans votre région. En usine, le sélecteur est initialement paramétré sur 240 V. Pour modiﬁer ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis plat et faites tourner le cadran du sélecteur jusqu'à ce que la valeur souhaitée apparaisse à côté de l’indicateur sur le panneau.

Avant d’utiliser l’instrument, lisez attentivement la section « PRÉCAUTIONS D'USAGE » aux pages 6 et 7. Pour plus d’informations sur l’assemblage de l’instrument, reportez-vous aux instructions figurant à la fin de ce manuel.

IMPORTANTE —compruebe la fuente de alimentación—

Asegúrese de que la tensión de la red local de suministro de CA coincide con la especiﬁcada en la placa situada en el panel inferior. Es posible que en algunas zonas se incluya un selector de tensión en el panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, junto al cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que este selector está ajustado según la tensión de la zona. El selector de tensión viene ajustado de fábrica en 240 V. Para cambiar el ajuste, utilice un destornillador de punta plana para girar el selector hasta aparezca que la tensión correcta al lado del puntero del panel.

Antes de utilizar el instrumento, lea las “PRECAUCIONES”, en las páginas 6-7. Para obtener más información sobre el montaje del instrumento, consulte las instrucciones que encontrará al final de este manual.

Handling caution

Using the bench (If included)

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not 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.

• 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.

• 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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• 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 insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• 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.

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

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in accident or injury.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Notices and Information

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

 Handling

• 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. When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/iPad, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to avoid noise caused by communication.

• 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, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)

• 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.

 Instrument / Bench Maintenance

To keep your Clavinova in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below.

• When cleaning the instrument or bench, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, it may become discolored or degraded.

• 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 keep 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.

• 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.

• 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.

 Saving data

• The edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power of the instrument without saving. It occurs also when the power is turned of by Auto Power Off function (page 15). Save the edited data to the instrument (User memory) or USB flash memory (page 29). Saving the data to USB flash memory is even more secure, since the data in the instrument may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.

• To further protect against data loss through the USB flash memory damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB flash memories.

 XG

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

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.

 XF

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 GE (Guitar Edition)

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality automatic ac compani ment based on a wide range of chord ty pes. “SF F GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

performance possibilities. Let’s take a look…

True Acoustic Piano Feel

We’ve combined some sophisticated technologies — including the Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine and Natural Wood (NW) keyboard (on the CVP-609), or the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard (on the CVP-605) — to reproduce the natural touch response and expressive nuances of an actual concert grand piano. In addition, there is a special “Piano Room” containing all relevant piano performance settings, which you can call up with a single button press any time you want. This complete piano ‘environment’ lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room ambiences — providing a total piano experience, as if you were playing an actual piano.

Page 40

Enormous Variety of Instrument Voices

Naturally, the CVP provides many realistic piano Voices for your playing enjoyment. But it also features a wide variety of authentic instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Moreover, the special Super Articulation Voices realistically recreate many of the performance techniques and characteristic sounds generated when an artist plays an instrument. The result is superbly detailed expression — such as the realistic sound of finger slides on guitar, and the expressive breath noises of saxophone and other wind instruments.

Page 42

Full Backing Band Accompaniment

Even if you’re playing alone, the CVP can put an entire backing band behind you! Simply playing chords w ith your left hand automatically triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing (Style function). You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time — including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in — during your performance. And if you find it hard to select just the right Style from the huge variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play.

Using the Pedals

If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained.

NOTE

• Certain Voices, such as strings and brass, sustain continuously when the damper/sostenuto pedal is pressed.

• Certain Voices such as drum kits may not be affected by use of the damper/sostenuto pedal.

NOTE

The pedals are covered with vinyl covers when shipped from the factory. If your instrument features the GP Responsive Damper Pedal, remove the cover from the damper pedal for optimum use of the pedal effect.

NOTE

If the pedal box rattles or gives way when you step on the pedals, turn the adjuster so that it is set firmly against the floor (pages 95, 98, 100).

If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained.

 Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal sustains notes. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A “half-pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.

Half-pedal function

This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and the notes you play sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the sustain (murkiness).

GP Responsive Damper Pedal

This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals. Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where the instrument is installed, you can adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting on the display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

 Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.

 Soft Pedal (Left)

When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal. You can adjust the depth of the Soft pedal effect on the display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Assigning a function to each pedal

Various functions can be assigned to each of the three pedals and an optional foot controller/ footswitch — including start/stop of Song playback and controlling a Super Articulation Voice. These can be set on the display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

NOTE

If you want to adjust the tempo of an Audio Song, use the Time Stretch function on page 65.

The [METRONOME ON/OFF] button lets you start or stop the metronome. The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and check how a specific tempo sounds.

Adjusting the Tempo

Basic Operations

The TEMPO [-] and [+] buttons let you change the playback tempo of Metronome, Style and MIDI Song. The tempo of the Style and MIDI Song can also be adjusted via the [TAP] button.

Fixed Velocity

Enter checkmarks to the boxes of the desired keyboard parts, then touch here to call up the setting window and select the Touch Sensitivity type. If you remove the checkmark, playing the corresponding part will produce a fixed velocity regardless of your playing strength.

• Hard2: Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best for players with a heavy touch.

• Hard1: Requires moderately strong playing for high volume.

• Medium: Standard Touch Sensitivity.

• Soft1: Produces high volume with moderate playing strength.

• Soft2: Produces relatively high volume even with light playing strength. Best for players with a light touch.

Make sure that the box of the desired keyboard parts are checked, then touch here to call up the setting window and set the velocity with which you play the keys, which stays fixed regardless of your playing strength.

Maintaining the Left Voice (even when releasing the keys)

When the Left Hold function is set to “On” in the display above, the Left Voice is held even when the keys are released. Nondecaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). When the Left Hold is “On,” an “H” indication appears at the left side of the keyboard illustration in the center of the Home display.

Basic Operations

This function is convenient when used along with Style playback since the sound of the chord matching Style playback is maintained. To stop the Left Voice which is sounding, stop Style or Song playback, or set the Left Hold function to “Off.”

NOTE

• 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.

• SA and SA2 Voices sound

differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on a Keyboard Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Settings, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

• 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.

At the left side of each Voice name on the Voice Selection display, the icon which represents its defining characteristic is indicated.

There are various Voice characteristics; however, only the following ones are covered here. For detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

•/: Super Articulation (SA, SA2) Voices

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. For details, refer to page 46.

• : Organ Flutes Voices

Lets you recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the percussive sounds, just like on conventional organs. For details, refer to page 47.

Playing Super Articulation Voices

NOTE

AEM is a technology that simulates the sound of acoustic instruments naturally by smoothly joining the most appropriate sound samples selected from the data base in realtime during performance.

NOTE

• If you want to lock the pedal function regardless of the Voice, turn off the Depend On Main Voice parameter called up via [Menu]  [Assignable]  [Pedal]  [Depend On Main Voice].

• If you assign the Articulation function to the ASSIGNABLE buttons (page 28), you can control articulation effects by using the buttons instead of the pedals.

The Super Articulation Voices (SA Voices and SA2 Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play.

 SA Voices

The SA Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time.

Example: Saxophone Voice

If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.

Example: Guitar Voice

If you press and hold a C note then press the left pedal, the pitch will change from C to D note as if a guitarist played a hammer-on note.

Voi ces – P lay ing t he ke yboar d –

 SA2 Voices (only for the CVP-609)

For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special 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.

Example: 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.

Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal

When you assign a SA or SA2 Voice to the Main part, the function of the center and left pedals are switched to control articulation effects. 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. When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-609), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass falls, etc.

For specific performance instructions on certain Voices, you can call up the Information window of the selected SA Voice or SA2 Voice by touching the [S.Art] or [S.Art2] icon which appears on the upper right of the Voice name on the Home display.

AI Full Keyboard

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)

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.

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.).

When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument 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 Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to 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, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback.

NOTE

Song files (MIDI files) corresponding to the included Music Book are available for free downloading from the website (page 5).

– Playing and Practice Songs –

For the Clavinova, “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data which include preset songs, commercially available music files, etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback. There are two kinds of Songs that can be recorded and played back on this instrument: MIDI Songs and Audio Songs.

• MIDI Song

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova, etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.

• Audio Song

An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used in recording cassette tapes, or with voice recorders, etc. You can play commercially available music on this instrument (as long as the files have been converted to WAV or MP3 format), just like you do on a portable music player.

Availability of functions differs between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs. In this chapter, the following icons indicate whether or not the explanation applies to MIDI Songs or Audio Songs individually.

Example: … Indicates explanation applies only to MIDI Songs.

Playback of Songs

You can play back the following types of Songs.

• Preset Songs (MIDI Songs)

• Your own recorded Songs (see page 66 for instructions on recording)

• Commercially available Songs: MIDI files in SMF (Standard MIDI File) format, Audio files in WAV or MP3 format.

WAV 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16 bit resolution, stereo

MP3 MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3: 44.1/48.0 kHz sample rate, 64 – 320 kbps and variable bit

– Recording Your Performance –

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• MIDI recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument or a USB flash memory as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also if you want to record your performance to each channel one by one, execute Multi Track Recording of the MIDI recording method. Since a MIDI Song can be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 70), you may want to use MIDI recording (with overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 300 KB per Song.

• Audio recording

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash memory as an Audio file. Recording is done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution (44.1kHz/16bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer. The file format can be changed to MP3 via [Menu] → [SongSetting] → [Rec] → [Audio Rec Format]. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

Basic Procedure for Recording (MIDI/Audio Recording)

Before recording, make the necessary settings such as Voice/Style selection (for MIDI recording and Audio Recording) and the microphone connection (only for Audio Recording, if you want to record your vocal). As necessary, connect the USB flash memory to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, especially if you want to execute Audio Recording.

Before starting Audio Recording:

Recorded data via Audio can only be saved to USB flash memory. If you want to execute Audio Recording, make sure to connect the USB flash memory beforehand.
