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.

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

Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded.

[7] CHORD NOTE

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 Voices with name “*** kit” and audio files.

series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this 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.

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

Sections

Channels

Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –

You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited.

• Realtime Recording This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See

page 25.

• Step Recording This method lets you to enter each note individually. See page 28.

• Style Assembly This method lets you create a composite Style by combining various patterns

from the internal preset Styles or from Styles you have already created. See

page 28.

Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → TAB [L][R] MENU2 → [A] STYLE CREATOR

NOTE The Style files created on this instrument can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE.

There are several Pages (tabs) in the Style Creator display.

•BASIC Creates the basic settings of the Style. You can also record your performance in real-

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.

1 When you want to create a Style based on an existing Style, select the desired Style to

serve as the basis for recording/editing before calling up the Style Creator display.

2 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → TA B [L][R] MENU2 → [A] STYLE CREATOR The BASIC Page is shown.

NOTICE

CRC CRC

C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note

Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” below.

NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1] – [8] buttons.

Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel

When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard.

To continue recording with another channel, repeat steps 6 – 9.

Stop recording by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button.

Press the [EXIT] button to close the RECORD display.

Press the [I] (SAVE) button, then follow the Save operation steps.

For details, refer to “Saving Files” in the Owner’s Manual.

The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

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.

CVP-701 Reference Manual 27

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 display), refer to page 63.
