Taking Care of Your Clavinova	1

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

1. Avoid Humidity & Heat

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

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture

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

3. Power-off Before Connecting

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

4. Handle With Care

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping

it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard (CVP-87A and CVP-85A), or cover the instrument with the dust cover provided (CVP-83S).

•To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

•The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk ex-

tending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

■Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

■Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.

■Use only double-sided double density (2DD) 3.5-inch floppy disks with the Clavinova.

5. Clean Carefully

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

dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry

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

7. Electric Interference

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

8. Check Your Power Supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord (CVP-87A and CVP-85A) or on the rear panel (CVP-83S). Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area.

9. Name Plate Location

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

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use

■Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.

■Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.

■Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.

■Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.

■Avoid getting the disks wet.

■Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions as specified below:

• Storage temperature: 4

° to 53 ° C (39 ° to 127 ° F).

•Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.

•Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

■Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

10.Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection and Style Disk are writeprotected, and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save Performance Memory songs from the Performance Memory, a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks

■Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.

■Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.

■Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.

■When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

Head Cleaning

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs

to another disk for backup (see page 39). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup

disk can be used instead of the original.

Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)

	Disk drive lamp	Write protect tab	Write protect tab

		write protected)	write enabled)

4Preparation

■The Music Stand

■ The Key Cover

■ The Power Switch

POWER

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

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

(CVP-87A & CVP-85A)

To open the CVP-87A or CVP-85A key cover lift it just enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively) then slide the cover back into the main unit. To close the cover slide it forward all the way and then lower it gently until it closes completely.

After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard once to turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the power off.

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

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

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

MAX	● Other Volume Control Modes
	The Auto Accompaniment volume controls can be assigned to other functions
	via the “Accompaniment Volume Mode” utility function (page 42). They can be
	used to control modulation, pitch bend, and expression; or individual reverb
	depth for the rhythm, chord 1, chord 2, and bass parts.

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

● Expression Control (CVP-87A only)

EXP.PEDAL

The Internal Amplifier &

Speaker System

.....................................................................................................

An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be plugged into the CVP-87A EXP. PEDAL jack for foot volume (expression) control of the keyboard sound only (i.e. expression doesn’t affect the auto-accompaniment sound or disk playback). Press the pedal forward to increase volume, and backward to decrease volume.

The CVP-87A and CVP-85A feature a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 40 watts per channel while the CVP-83S has a high-performance 20-watt stereo amplifier. All three models include a high-performance speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natu-

ral response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-87A and CVP-85A speaker systems employ two 13-centimeter speaker units for low-to-midrange reproduction, and two 5-centimeter speaker units for outstanding high-frequency sound. The CVP-83S has two 16centimeter and two 5-centimeter units.

Dual Mode	9

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

To engage the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time

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

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

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

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

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

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

		through the values slowly, or press		firmly to scroll rapidly.
	•	The dual mode cannot be used when the DRUMS voice is selected. Also, the
		dual and split modes cannot be used		at the same time.

10 Split Mode

The split mode lets you play different voices with the left and right hands — bass with the left and piano with the right, for example. You can assign any

of the Clavinova’s voices to the left and right-hand sections of the keyboard.

No effect is produced.

ROOM

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

HALL 1

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

HALL 2

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

COSMIC

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

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

The depth of the selected reverb effect can be increased or decreased by pressing the TEMPO [▲] or [▼] button while holding the [REVERB] button. The reverb depth is shown on the TEMPO display while the [REVERB] and [▲] or [▼] buttons are held. The reverb depth range is from “0” (no effect) to “15” (maximum depth).

NOTES	• Reverb depth is initially set to “8” when the power is turned on (this setting can be
	recalled during reverb depth selection by pressing the TEMPO [	▲] and [ ▼] but-
	tons simultaneously).

•The TEMPO [ ▲] and [ ▼] buttons allow two-speed scrolling: press lightly to scroll through the values slowly, or press firmly to scroll rapidly.

The Keyboard & Polyphony	13

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

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

●The number of available notes is further reduced if the performance memory or a Disk Orchestra Collection disk is being played at the same time. Further variation occurs in the CVP-85A and CVP-83S with “1-layer” and “2-layer” voices: the polyphony is halved with 2-layer voices. The CVP-87A additionally features stereo voices. The following chart shows all stereo, 2-layer, and 1-layer voices in the CVP-87A, CVP-85A, and CVP-83S.

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

14 The Pedals

The CVP-83S and CVP-85A have two pedals while the CVP-87A has three. These offer a range of advanced expressive capabilities.

	SOFT
SOFT	SOSTENUTO
START/STOP	START/STOP
SOLO STYLEPLAY	SOLO STYLEPLAY

■ Right Pedal (Damper Pedal)

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

NOTES	• While the CVP-85A and CVP-83S damper pedals are either on or off, the CVP-
	87A damper pedal offers continuous damping control. On/off operation can also
	be selected via the “Damper Pedal Mode” utility function (page 43).

■ Center Pedal (Sostenuto Pedal, CVP-87A only)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

The left pedal has a number of functions which can be selected using the [LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION] button and indicators. Each time the [LEFT PEDAL FUNCTION] button is pressed the next function on the LEFT PEDAL function “list” is selected and the corresponding indicator will light.

● Soft ...........................................................................................................................................................

Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. The SOFT function is automatically selected whenever the POWER switch is turned on.

● Sostenuto (CVP-85A and CVP-83S) ......................................................................................................

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

The left-pedal SOSTENUTO function cannot be selected while the SOLO STYLEPLAY feature is operating.

● Start/Stop ................................................................................................................................................

The left pedal performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons. For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompaniment” section on page 18, 19.

● Solo Styleplay .........................................................................................................................................

For details on the SOLO STYLEPLAY function see “SOLO STYLEPLAY” on page 25 (the SOLO STYLEPLAY pedal function can only be selected when the SOLO STYLEPLAY feature is in use).

NOTES	• The damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal functions do not affect the DRUMS voice.

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

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

NOTES

•The “ P d ” keyboard scale pan default for some voices places the treble-register sound to the right and the bass-register sound to the

left. Using a different PAN setting places the entire voice, low and high notes included, at the same position.

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

Transposition

The Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones. “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

TRANSPOSE] button to restore normal keyboard pitch.

•Transpose is always set to Normal when the power is turned on.

•The TRANSPOSE function does not affect the DRUMS sound.

•The TEMPO [ ▲] and [ ▼] buttons allow two-speed scrolling: press lightly to scroll through the values slowly, or press firmly to scroll rap-

idly.

•Notes below and above the original 88-key range of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively.

16	Pitch Control
	Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a	± 50-cent range (approximate) in

approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz intervals. A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the Clavinova to match other instruments or recorded music.

TEMPO

NOTES	•	There are also two [DISK STYLE] buttons that can be used to select styles
		loaded from floppy disk (the supplied Style Disk). See the “Disk Styles” section on
		page 23 for details.
	•	Use the RHYTHM volume control to adjust the volume of the rhythm sound.

Whenever you select a different style, the “suggested” tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed on the TEMPO display in quarter-note beats per minute (unless the accompaniment is playing, in which case the same tempo is maintained).

You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [▲] and [▼] buttons. This can be done either before the accompaniment is started or while it is playing. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing. Press lightly for slow, or harder for fast decrementing or incrementing.

NOTES	• The suggested tempo for the selected style can be recalled at any time by press-
	ing both the [	▲] and [ ▼] buttons simultaneously.

■Starting the Accompaniment

There are several ways to start the accompaniment:

● Straight Start ...........................................................................................................................................

START/STOP

Normal straight start

Variation straight start

● Start With an Introduction

INTRO/ENDING

Press the [START/STOP] button.

Each of the styles also has a variation that can be selected by pressing the [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button (its LED will light) before pressing the [START/ STOP] button. Normally the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button LED will be lit (or you can select it if the variation is selected), indicating that the normal pattern is selected.

=	NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL	START/STOP
=	VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION	START/STOP

.....................................................................................................................

Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button.

If you press the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] or [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button while holding the [INTRO/ENDING] button, the rhythm will start with an appropriate fill and then go to the normal rhythm or variation rhythm, respectively.

			(Flashing)
Intro start		=	INTRO/ENDING
Fill start to normal		=	INTRO/ENDING
Fill start to variation		=	INTRO/ENDING

	START/STOP
	(Flashing)
+	NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL	START/STOP
	(Flashing)
+	VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION	START/STOP

● Synchronized Start

SYNCHRO

START

The selected start mode can be disengaged prior to starting the accompaniment by pressing the selected button (flashing indicator) a second time.

.................................................................................................................................

Any of the start types described above can be synchronized to the first note or chord played on the keyboard by first pressing the [SYNCHRO START] button so that its indicator lights. When the keyboard is split or Auto Bass Chord Single Finger or Fingered mode is used, the first note played on the left-hand section of the keyboard will start the accompaniment (i.e. keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2). Once the synchronized start mode has been selected, use the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] and/or [INTRO/ENDING] buttons to select the type of start you want.

The first dot of the BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized start mode has been selected.

			After pressing	SYNCHRO START
Normal start		=	NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL			Play key
Variation start		=	VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION			Play key
Intro start		=	INTRO/ENDING		Play key
Fill start to normal		=	INTRO/ENDING	+	NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL		Play key
Fill start to variation		=	INTRO/ENDING	+	VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION		Play key

The synchronized start mode can be cancelled by pressing the [SYNCHRO START] button a second time so that its indicator goes out.

NOTES	• The synchronized start mode is automatically turned on when one of the ABC modes is

engaged — see page 20 for details.

TAP

TEMPO

This function lets you set the tempo and start the rhythm in one operation. Simply tap the [TAP] button at the required tempo — 3 times for a 3/4 style and 4 times for a 4/4 style. The rhythm will start from the beginning of the next measure at the specified tempo.

NOTES	•	The [TAP] button can also be used to change the tempo during rhythm playback.
		In this case the “tap” click will not sound.
	•	If you tap the [TAP] button less than the required number of times (i.e. 3 or 4), the
		tap tempo function will be cancelled after a few seconds.

●Measure Number

During rhythm playback the current measure number is shown on the TEMPO display.

●The Beat Display

The four LED dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the selected tempo. The leftmost (red) dot flashes on the first beat of each measure, the second dot flashes on the second beat, and so on (all dots except the leftmost dot are green). When a 3/4-time rhythm is selected, only the first three dots will flash.

■ Fill-ins

NORMAL	VARIATION
FILL TO NORMAL	FILL TO VARIATION

■ Stopping the Accompaniment

The CVP-87A, CVP-85A and CVP-83S provide two types of automatic “fillins.”

■Fill To Normal: Press the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button during playback to produce a fill-in and go to the normal rhythm.

■Fill To Variation: Press the [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button during playback to produce a fill-in and go to the variation pattern.

If you hold one of the FILL buttons, the fill-in will repeat until the end of the measure in which button is released.

The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/

START/STOP	INTRO/ENDING	STOP] button. Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button if you want to go to the
		ending pattern and then stop.
		NOTES	• If you started with an intro or fill-in, or using the SYNCHRO mode, these selec-
			tions are maintained even after the accompaniment is stopped.

•If the left pedal is switched to START/STOP operation, it performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons (press to START, press again to STOP).

■ Metronome

		The CVP-87A, CVP-85A, and CVP-83S also offer a metronome function that is
		ideal for practice.
METRONOME	86	To start the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button so that its
		indicator lights. The metronome will play at the currently selected tempo whether a

style is playing or not. The metronome volume can be adjusted via the RHYTHM volume control.

Press the [METRONOME] button again to stop the metronome sound (the METRONOME indicator will go out). The metronome will also stop automatically if the [START/STOP] button is pressed to stop a style in progress.

	NOTES	• The metronome will not normally sound when a style is playing. If the style is
		started by pressing the [START/STOP] button while the metronome is playing,
		however, the metronome will continue to sound along with the style.
