Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

Voice Characteristics

The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice name in the Voice Selection display.

VRM
(Virtual Resonance
Modeling)

Natural! Natural! Voices are high quality sounds on many specialist sampling techniques.

Live! Live! Voices feature stereo sampling, to reproduce accurately the stereo image of

S.Art!
(Super Articulation)

See the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2.

They are especially suited to recreating Piano and other keyboard instruments.

an acoustic instrument, as well as the ambience of the room it was recorded in.

See the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2.

CVP-701 Reference Manual 3

Cool! Cool! Voices reproduce the complex characteristics of Electric Instruments, by

utilizing sophisticated programming techniques in both voicing, and the use of
DSP effects.

Sweet! Sweet! Voices are acoustic instruments which feature the sampled vibrato of the

original player, creating a far more realistic and emotional performance than
synthesized vibrato.

Drums Drum & Percussion instruments are mapped across the keyboard so you can play

them directly, or use in music production.

Live! Drums Stereo sampling is used for these high definition Drum and Percussion

instruments, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly,
or use in music production.

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –

SFX Special percussion and sound effects are mapped across the keyboard, so you can

play them directly, or use in music production.

Live! SFX Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound

effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or
use in music production.

Organ Flutes! OrganFlutes! lets you create your own Organ registrations, by combining Organ

Flute Footages at different pitches, just like a real organ. See page 17 for details.

MegaVoice MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in styles and songs, not for

live performance. Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically
different playing styles simultaneously, and without changing the voice.

Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet
that comes with your instrument.

NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models even though the model may 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.

NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a harmony or echo effect, change the transpose

setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

Selecting the Harmony/Echo type

This function lets you apply harmonies to your right hand performance according to the chords you play with
your left hand, and trigger automatic echo or tremolo even by pressing a single note or two notes.

1 Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button.
2 Turn the Keyboard Harmony on by pressing the [I] (KEYBOARD HARMONY) button.
3 Call up the operation display by pressing the [J] (TYPE SELECT) button.
4 Use the [1] – [3] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.

The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied.

 Harmony Types

When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right­hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord
section of the keyboard shown below.
If you want to use these Types, play back the style or set the “STOP ACMP” parameter (page 19) to a
setting other than “DISABLED.”

8 CVP-701 Reference Manual

 Multi Assign Type

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of
the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both keyboard parts [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned
on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the
notes in the order you play.

 Echo Types

When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the
note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the
[ACMP ON/OFF] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill only works when you hold
down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it
plays those notes alternately.

5 Use the [4] – [8] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.

[4] VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by
the Harmony/Echo effect.

[5] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected

in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill
effects.

Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony
note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your
playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The
harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set
value).

Pitch-Related Settings

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument — a useful feature when playing the Clavinova along with
other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tuning function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit

tuning is slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for
some leads.

the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th
century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems,
which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean
scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique
character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and
Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the
harpsichord.

Realtime Recording

5-14

In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using
realtime recording.

Realtime Recording Characteristics — Loop Recording and Overdub Recording

• Loop Recording

Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also
done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two
measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop),
letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.

• Overdub Recording

This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
Rhythm Clear (page 27) and Delete (page 26).
For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated
many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new
material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the
rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before
recording.

Rules when recording non-rhythm channels

• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G,
A, and B).

• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted
depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for
this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example
illustration above).
You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 34. Keep in
mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes
and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see

page 34.

NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any desired chord or chord progression can be used.

Step Recording (Inputting events one by one)

In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is
essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 50) with the exception of the points listed below:

• In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed.
This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For exam­ple, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically
set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.

• Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed
in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display.

• In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy,
or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System
Exclusive data cannot be entered.

For instructions on Step Recording, refer to pages 50 – 53. For information on the EDIT display (Event List

Making Style File Format Settings

The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into
a single unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format
and freely create your own Styles.
The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the
rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.

Source Pattern settings — SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 34)

The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your
performance. You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the
played chord will be converted. Here the “Source Chord” (page 34) can be set, allowing you to record
accompaniment channels.

Chord changes via the chord section of the keyboard.

Note Transposition settings — NTR and NTT (page 35)

This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to
be converted in response to chord changes.

Other settings — HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 37)

Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you
play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic
as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range — ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural
range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).

(Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the interval
between notes is maintained. For example, the
notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3,
A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use
this setting for channels that contain melody
lines.

ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to the previ-

Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.

CHORD Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord

2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.

MELODIC MINOR

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semi­tone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections

Keyboard Performance

• Realtime Recording:

By default, your keyboard performance will be
recorded to MIDI channels 1 – 3. You can also
record additional performances to channels 4 – 8.

• Step Recording:

Without specifying the keyboard part, you can input
melodies or notes one by one to the desired channel.

Style Playback

• Realtime Recording:

By default, Style playback will be recorded to MIDI
channels 9 – 16.

• Step Recording:

After inputting the Chord change/Section change
events, touch [Expand] to actually record the note
data to MIDI channels 9 – 16.

The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original Song by recording your keyboard performance (called
“Realtime Recording”). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by entering notes one
by one (called “Step Recording”) and how to improve an already created Song by editing the detailed
parameters.

 Realtime Recording and Step Recording

When creating a Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument
records the performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by
“writing” it down one event at a time. This chapter primarily covers the instructions for Step Recording.

 MIDI Song Data Structure

A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your
performance to a specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing Step Recording.

The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
to correct for this.

[2]/
[3]

[4] –
[6]

CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.

SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should

set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For exam­ple, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use 1/8
note as the Quantize size.

5

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at
the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth
notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight
eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you
use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and
triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

[7]/
[8]

STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100%

produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will
be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the spec­ified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you pre­serve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

section). The settings will be lost if you exit from this display or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save
operation.

Saving the Microphone Settings

All the settings (VOCAL/TALK pages) are saved together as a single file. Up to ten files can be saved. For
ease in future recall, you should assign a sufficiently descriptive name to the file or one that matches your
performance.

1 On the MIC SETTING display (in step 3 above), press the [H] (USER MEMORY) button.
2 Press the [6] (SAVE) button to save the file to USER.

NOISE GATE (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)

This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.

[1] SW (Switch) Turns the Noise Gate on or off.

[2] TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.

COMPRESSOR (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)

This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively
“compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. For a maximum compression
effect, set RATIO to a high setting and adjust the OUT parameter for optimum volume.

[3] SW (Switch) Turns the Compressor on or off.

[4] TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the Compressor is applied.

[5] RATIO Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more compressed

sound, with a reduced dynamic range.

[6] OUT Adjusts the final output level.

Editing EFFECT Parameters

This instrument has an effect system featuring six separate blocks (Reverb, Chorus and DSP1-4). For each
block, you can assign the desired effect type individually. The effects are applied independently for each part
or globally for the entire sound according to the blocks: the effects of Reverb and Chorus blocks are applied
to all of the parts input to the Mixing Console, DSP1 is applied only to the Style and Song sounds (or applied
to a specific part of the Style or Song depending on the setting), and DSP2-4 are applied to the specific
keyboard parts and Song parts. Use these instructions to set up various effects for blocks and parts to enhance
the sound as desired.

correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high
frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.

Editing Master Compressor Settings

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.
This instrument features a Master Compressor which is applied to the entire sound of this instrument.
Although preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can also create and save your original Master
Compressor by adjusting the related parameters.

Footswitch/Foot Controller Settings

Assigning Specific Functions to Each Foot Pedal

In addition to the footswitch or foot controller, the three piano pedals installed to the instrument (Right,
Center and Left pedals) can also be assigned to various functions here. The following explanations cover the
related operations and assignable functions (parameters).

NOTE For information on how to connect a Footswitch or Foot Controller, refer to the Owner’s Manual, chapter 11.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → TAB [L][R] MENU1 → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [ L][R] PEDAL

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select one of the three pedals or the AUX-connected pedal,

to which the function is to be assigned.

88 CVP-701 Reference Manual

3 Use the [1] buttons to select the function to be assigned to the pedal specified in

step 2.

For information on available parameters, see pages 89 – 91.

NOTE You can also assign other functions to the pedal — Punch in/out of Song (page 57) and Registration Sequence (page 76). If you assign multiple func-

tions to the pedal, the priority is: Punch in/out of Song → Registration Sequence → functions assigned here.

4 Use the [2] – [8] buttons to set the details of the selected functions (the part

for which the function is applied, etc.).

The available parameters differ depending on the function selected in step 3.

5 When you have selected the left or center pedal in step 2, press the [H] (SWITCH WITH

R1 VOICE) button to turn this parameter OFF.

This setting locks the pedal function so that it does not change automatically when you change the Right 1
Voice.

6 If necessary, set the polarity of the pedal by using the [I] button.

Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument.
For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different
make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation.

 Assignable Pedal Functions

For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a
footswitch.

ARTICULATION When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the

pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.

VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is

available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack.

SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the

pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you are using the right
pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter
allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the
damper effect starts working.

SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or

chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes
will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not
sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other
notes are played staccato.

NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if

this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.

SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces

the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only
for certain appropriate Voices. You can turn this pedal function on or off for
each keyboard part on this display. If you are using the right pedal or connected
foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify
how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working.

 Pre-programmed MIDI Templates

All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, and LEFT), with

the exception of Song parts.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts

are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT
1 and 2 and the left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.”

Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and

controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a
computer/sequencer).

Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used

to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an
external sequencer.

Clock Ext Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI

clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used
when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instru­ment.

MIDI Accord1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone

generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This
template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback
on the instrument with the left-hand buttons.

MIDI Accord2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the

chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on a MIDI Accordion are recog­nized also as MIDI note events.

MIDI Pedal1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet

(especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets
you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI Pedal2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI

pedal unit.

MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI Settings

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 94.
Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1] –
[8] buttons.

1 Local Control

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the
instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played
directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally
disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the
keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play
the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer
and/or play an external tone generator.

11

2 Clock setting, etc.

 CLOCK

Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received
from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone
or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external
sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this
parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external
device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly
transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB

2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display.

NOTE If the Clock is set to something other than INTERNAL, the Style or Song cannot be played from the panel buttons.
NOTE When a USB wireless LAN adaptor is connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, the “WIRELESS LAN” parameter can also be selected.

 TRANSMIT CLOCK

Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is
transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.

 RECEIVE TRANSPOSE

Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received by the
instrument via MIDI.

 START/STOP

Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback.

3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)

 SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting
turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external
equipment on or off.

96 CVP-701 Reference Manual

 CHORD SYS/EX.

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16)
flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on
the channel(s).

NOTE If “WLAN” is shown, this instrument can handle

MIDI messages received via the USB wireless
LAN adaptor connected to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal. When “WLAN” is not shown although
the USB wireless LAN adaptor is connected, turn
the instrument off then on again.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Chord System Exclusive data (chord detect, root and
type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data
generated by external equipment on or off.

MIDI Transmit Settings

The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT Page in step 4 on page 94. This determines which parts will
be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.

231

1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1]/[2] buttons to select the part for changing

transmit settings.

With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already
explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.

UPPER

A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1
and/or 2).

LOWER

A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not
affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

2 Use the [3] buttons to select a channel via which the selected part will be

transmitted.

NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel — resulting in unex-

pected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device.

NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1-16 are set to be transmitted.

3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be sent.

The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display.

With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already
explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.

KEYBOARD

The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance.

EXTRA PART 1–5

There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not
used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by
using these five parts in addition to the parts.

3 Use the [4] – [8] button to determine the types of data to be received.

MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals

The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for
transmitting/receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows:

98 CVP-701 Reference Manual

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 94. These settings let you determine the bass
note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at
the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass notes of the chords of Style playback. The bass note
will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are
simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels

.

2

1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel.
2 Use the [1] – [8] buttons to set the desired channel to ON or OFF.

You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button.

Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 94. These settings let you
determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off
messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style
playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected
regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or Split Point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to
“ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
