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.

WICHTIG

Netzspannung überprüfen

Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist

IMPORTANT

Vérifiez la source d’alimentation

Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau arrière correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l’instrument peut être équipé d’un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du cordon d’alimentation. Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d’usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin de mettre l’indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.

IMPORTANTE

Compruebe la alimentación de su área

Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza “recta” para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells

CAUTION

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

or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• 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.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• 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.

• (For instruments with a key cover) Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• (For instruments with a key cover) Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

• 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 operate the instrument 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.

■USING THE BENCH (if included)

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-ladder 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.

■SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Handling Floppy Disks

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

The “Music Software Collection” disk and one

blank disk are supplied with the Clavinova.

■ Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks ...........

● Do NOT eject the disk during recording or play-

back, or at any time when the DISK IN USE 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:

DISK IN USE lamp

■ 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 posi-

tion. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

• 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 extending 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.

● On the CVP-94, 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 the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with

the Clavinova.

■ 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 121). 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) ............................................................................................

Write protect tab open (locked — write protected)

Write protect tab closed (unlocked — write enabled)

Basic Operation

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Virtually all of the CVP-94/92’s operations are done from the LCD display. When you press a button on the panel once, the relevant function’s display appears. Depending on the display that appears, you can conveniently perform various functions and change values/settings by using the buttons located under the LCD, and the data dial and [–/+] buttons at the right of the LCD. Once you’re familiar with these operations, you can easily use other functions in the same way.

LCD Display and LCD Buttons

The five buttons located under the LCD display are referred to as the LCD buttons. These buttons are used either to select the corresponding items displayed in the LCD or to change the values.

The functions of the LCD buttons differ depending on the selected LCD. Keep in mind that functions are enclosed in two types of rectangles, one a “soft” rectangle with rounded corners, the other a “hard” rectangle with 90-degree corners.

EXIT

“Soft” rectangle (with rounded corners)

“Hard” rectangle

○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

■ When function is within “soft” rectangle:...............................

First press the appropriate LCD button under the display (the selected

item is highlighted), and use the data dial or [–/+] to set the items which are in “soft” rectangles with rounded corners.

Alternately, after selecting the item, press the LCD button again.

For example, when selecting a voice from the display shown below, press the LCD button below VOICE ▼ ▲ at the lower right. VOICE then is highlighted, and you can select the desired voice by using the data dial or the [–/+] buttons.

For functions or parameters that have ▼ and ▲ or < and > indica-

tions, you can reset the value to its basic value by simultaneously pressing both LCD buttons (or both [–/+] buttons).

Display Highlight

• When selecting an item or parameter in the display, the indication of the selected item is highlighted (appears in reverse display).

When holding down a button...

• In some cases, when one of the LCD buttons or [–/+] buttons is held down, the value or setting changes continuously.

• There are some functions and parameters whose settings cannot be returned to the basic value even by pressing the ▼ and ▲ buttons, or the

and > buttons simultaneously.

Basic Operation

■ When function is within “hard” rectangle:.............................

Items within a “hard” rectangle can be directly selected or switched ON/OFF by simply pressing the corresponding LCD button located directly below the desired item.

For example , when selecting the first Demo song in the display shown below, you can immediately begin playback of the first song by pressing the LCD button under 1.

PAGE [

Some of the CVP-94/92’s functions are contained on successive dis-

play pages. To select the next page or previous page, press the appropriate PAGE [<] [>] button. The current page and the entire number of pages for the function are indicated at the top right of the display.

[EXIT] Button

Press [EXIT] in order to leave the current mode or return to the pre-

vious display.

EXIT

[DISPLAY HOLD] Button

The [DISPLAY HOLD] button lets you keep the display from chang-

ing. For example, voices and accompaniment styles can be selected by pressing the VOICE button or STYLE button. The display of the selected voice/style appears for a few seconds, then changes to the previous display. Displays such as this that appear briefly are called pop-up displays. The [DISPLAY HOLD] lamp flashes to indicate that it is the pop-up display, and that the previous display will appear after a few seconds. By pressing the [DISPLAY HOLD] at this point, the lamp stays lit continuously and the selected display stays. Pressing [DISPLAY HOLD] again turns the lamp off and the display returns to the previous one.

• If [DISPLAY HOLD] is pressed for any non pop-up display, and the lamp is lit up, the pop-up display cannot be opened.

• The duration of pop-up displays can be set with the Pop-up Time parameter (page 137).

Adjusting the Contrast of the LCD Display

Turn the [CONTRAST] button in order to adjust the contrast or

brightness of the display.

Memory Backup

The Backup function (page 132) can be used to maintain various values and settings, even after the power has been turned off. In the Backup function display, each parameter group to be backed up can be selected individually. Values and settings which are not backed up revert to the basic settings when the power is turned off.

Basic Operation

Backup of the Last Settings

• For parameters which can be set to Backup ON/OFF, the basic setting is indicated as “Backup of last settings: ON (or OFF)” in the explanation of each parameter.

• Items set to Backup ON can be returned to the basic setting anytime by using the Recall function (page 133).

When set to ON, the last setting of these parameters are retained in memory even after the power is turned off. For a list of the backup parameters, see page 132.

If the CVP-94/92 is left unused without the power being turned on for approximately a week, the backed up data is deleted and all the settings return to the basic settings. For this reason, you should turn on the power at least once a week and keep it on for a few minutes.

Display Messages

For ease of operation, the CVP-94/92 shows various messages that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 2 in the Reference Manual.

Adjusting the Volume

Using the Pedals

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

The CVP-94/92 has three pedals.

Damper Pedal (Right)

The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing your fingers from the keys.

CVP-94 CVP-92

• Certain voices in the [DRUMS] or [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

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, 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.

CVP-94 CVP-92

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play.

You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for example, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to play Fill Ins. See page 119 for details.

• Certain voices in the [DRUMS] or [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal.

• Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed.

• The effect of the soft pedal may differ slightly depending on the selected voice.

CVP-94 CVP-92

Reverb

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Reverb is an effect that recreates the decaying reflections of a sound in a performance space, and reproduces the special ambience of a concert hall. The CVP-94/92 has various Reverb effects and allows you to set the Reverb Depth to your preference.

Setting the Depth for Each Part — Reverb Part Depth

The Reverb Part Depth parameter lets you make different Reverb Depth settings for the rhythm, bass, and chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment (page 38), as well as the parts you play from the keyboard.

To use this, call up the REVERB PART DEPTH display in the second page of the REVERB pop-up display by using the PAGE [<] [>] buttons.

Reverb Part Depth

• Range: 0 (no effect) — 100 (maximum) for each part

• Basic setting: 50 for each part

• Backup of last settings: OFF

• The actual Reverb Depth is dependent

on both the Part Depth and Total Depth settings. In other words, if one of the settings is “0” (no effect), no Reverb will be produced even if the other setting is “100.”

Reverb

Select the desired part by using the BASS, CHORD, RHYTHM and

KBD (keyboard) in the REVERB PART DEPTH display. You can also

select several parts and adjust their settings simultaneously.

➾ Set the Reverb Depth of the highlighted part by using the data dial

or [–/+] buttons. The values can be changed in 5-unit steps.

Types of Auto Accompaniment

The Auto Accompaniment function lets you produce automatic accompaniment in the selected style simply by indicating chords on the keyboard.

● Single Finger

The Single Finger method makes it easy to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys (according to simple rules) in the left range of the keyboard (lower than the split point indicated by the keyboard guide lamp) . (See page 49.)

● Fingered

The Fingered method lets you produce automatic accompaniment by playing full chords in the left range of the keyboard (lower than the split point). (See page 50.)

● Multi Finger

With Multi Finger, you can use either the Single Finger or Fingered method to indicate chords for the accompaniment. (See page 50.)

● Full Keyboard

Full Keyboard automatically produces appropriate automatic accompaniment for virtually anything you play on the keyboard, in any range. (See page 50.)

• Detailed explanations of the use of Single Finger, Multi Finger, Fingered, and Full Keyboard are given on pages 49 and 50.

desired bass note one octave lower than the chord. For example, in order to play F on C (F chord with a C bass), play an F chord (F, A and C) and press C +C (octave notes) in the lower range of the keyboard. (Use this function for chord sequence recording.)

• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

•“No chord” (i.e., rhythm-only accompa- niment) can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (e.g., C, C#, D) simultaneously. This lets you create dynamic rhythm “breaks in the accompaniment. A “- - -” indication will appear instead of a chord name in the display.

● Full Keyboard

When the Full Keyboard mode is selected, the CVP-94/92 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display. (Although Full Keyboard is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.)

Stopping the Auto Accompaniment

Press [START/STOP], [ENDING] or [FADE IN/OUT] to stop the Auto Accompaniment.

You can also turn off the Auto Accompaniment by pressing the [ACMP ON] button (the lamp turns off).

Phrase, and Rhythm.

BASS The Bass part uses voices appropriate to each style, including

acoustic bass and synth bass.

CHORD The Chord part provides appropriate rhythmic chordal accom-

paniment for each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.

PAD The Pad part plays long chords where necessary, using sus-

tained instruments such as strings, organ, and choir.

PHRASE The Phrase part is used for embellishments such as punchy

brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

The CVP-94/92 Custom Style feature allows you to create original accompaniment styles that can be later recalled and played at any time, just like the presets. Up to 4 custom styles can be maintained in internal memory at the same time, and any number can be saved to disk for later reloading and use. The basic custom style recording procedure is outlined below.

• Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom styles to disk before turning the power off.

• One pre-programmed temporary style is automatically loaded into the [DISK/ CUSTOM] memory whenever the power is turned on. (Memory is common to the Custom Styles and the loaded styles from the optional Style File disks — page 69.)

XSelect a source style. ...................................................................................

Select a preset style that is close to the style you want to create. Preset

style selection is carried out in the normal way (page 38).

If you want to select a [DISK/CUSTOM] style, press the [DISK/ CUSTOM] style button once again and use the STYLE ▲ and ▼ but- tons, or the data dial or [–/+] buttons to select a [DISK/CUSTOM] style.

Custom Style

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

CSelect the section you want to record. .....................................

In the CUSTOM STYLE display page 1, press the first LCD button as many times as necessary to select the section you want to program first: MAIN A, MAIN B, INTRO, FILL IN, or ENDING. The MAIN A section is initially selected.

Total measure number of

the selected section

Current measure number of the selected section

Beat of the selected style

• In the CUSTOM STYLE, MAIN A, MAIN B, INTRO, FILL IN or ENDING are referred to as “section”, and RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, CHORD 1/2, PAD or PHRASE 1/2 are referred to as “part”.

• Only one pattern can be created for each INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING section.

• Whether the “A” or “B” variations of the INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING sections are used as the source pattern depends on whether the MAIN A or MAIN B section was selected when the Custom Style function was engaged. (As for FILL IN, “FILL IN from A to A”, or “FILL IN from B to B” is used.)

VChange the time signature and number of meas-

ures, if required..................................................................................................

If you want to create a style in a different time signature than the cur-

rent style, or change the number of measures in the selected section, Press the PAGE [>] button to go to CUSTOM STYLE display page 2.

Current recording section and part

Use the BEAT LCD button to select a different time signature, or the

data dial or [–/+] buttons once the BEAT parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the beat value, the “Clear style ?” prompt will appear, since you will have to completely clear all sections and parts of the style and start recording from scratch if you change the time signature. Press OK to clear the style, or CANCEL to abort. Once the style has been cleared you can select a new time signature as required: 2, 3, 4, or 5.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Use the MEAS. LCD button to select a different number of measures

for the selected section, or the data dial or [–/+] buttons once the MEAS. parameter has been selected. As soon as you choose to change the number of measures in the section, the “Clear section ?” prompt will appear, since you will have to clear all parts of the currently selected section and start recording from scratch if you change the number of measures. Press OK to clear the section, or CANCEL to abort. Once the section has been cleared you can select a new number of measures as required: 1 through 8. The FILL IN section has only 1 measure and the number of measures cannot be changed although the FILL IN section can be cleared using this operation.

Custom Style

Once the BEAT and/or MEAS. parameters have been set as required,

press the PAGE [<] button to go back to the first Custom Style page.

BSelect the part and voice you want to record. ..................

Use the PART LCD button, the data dial, or [–/+] buttons to select the

part you want to record:

R1 Rhythm 1

R2 Rhythm 2

Bs Bass

C1 Chord 1

C2 Chord 2

Pd Pad

P1 Phrase 1

P2 Phrase 2

The R1 part is initially selected and set to the record mode.

Any part you select can be set to the record mode by using the rightmost LCD button to select “REC” after selecting the part (the part number will be highlighted). Since parts other than R1 and R2 must be cleared before they can be recorded (if the source style is a preset style or a style loaded from the optional Style File disk) the “Clear part ?” confirmation will appear if you select a part that contains data: press OK to clear the part and continue, or CANCEL to abort. Only one part can be set to the record mode. All other parts will be set to “PLAY” (part number surrounded by box) or turned “OFF” (part number only — no box). Parts that contain no data are indicated by a dot in place of the part number.

Custom Style

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

At this point you can also select the voice you want to record with

(the preset voice for that part will initially be selected). For the R1 part, only [DRUMS] voices can be used. For the R2 part, all voices can be used. For the remaining parts, all voices except [DRUMS] can be used.

NRecord the selected part..........................................................................

You can now add new parts to the selected part by playing the keyboard at the appropriate timing (play in C Major seventh since the Custom Style is recorded as a C Major seventh pattern). If you want to create a totally new part from scratch, press the CLEAR LCD button to clear the selected part before beginning to record. If both the R1 and R2 parts are cleared the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide (the metronome sound is not recorded). When a drum kit voice is used, a single drum instrument sound can be cleared from the R1 or R2 part by pressing the key corresponding to the instrument to be cleared while holding the keyboard “C1” key. The metronome timing guide can also be cleared in this way.

• Playback can be started and stopped via the [START/STOP] button as required while in the Custom Style mode — data cannot be recorded while playback is stopped.

• The timing guide will stop as soon as

the Custom Style is stored.

• The sound of all parts is automatically stopped at the end of the style — i.e. at the point between repeats when recording. It is therefore not advisable to record over this point.

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this

button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear the entire style.

MQuantize the recorded part, if necessary...............................

You can “tighten up” the timing of a recorded part by aligning all

notes to specified beats via the PART QUANTIZE function in CUSTOM STYLE display page 2 (press the PAGE [>] button). Press the LCD button below the note symbol to select “quantize size” — i.e. the beats to which the notes in the current part will be aligned:

32nd notes

16th note triplets

16th notes

8th note triplets

8th notes

quarter-note triplets

quarter notes

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

• Quantization can also be applied to the

already recorded part.

Once the required quantize size has been selected press the START

LCD button to actually quantize the current part. Playback will stop for an instant while the data is being quantized, then the START LCD button will change to UNDO, allowing you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once another button has been pressed.

<Repeat until the custom style is complete. ..........................

Repeat steps 3 through 7 until all parts or all sections have been re-

corded as required.

• During Custom Style recording, no

MIXER display is available.

Custom Style

>Name the custom style ...............................................................................

When your custom style is complete, use the PAGE buttons to select

CUSTOM STYLE display page 3, and press the STYLE NAME LCD button to go to the style naming page.

The current style name appears in the upper right corner of the dis-

play. Use the > LCD button to position the underline cursor at the character you want to change (style names can be up to 12 characters in length). Use the data dial and/or the [–/+] buttons to select the character you want to enter from the list in the center of the display, then press the CH.SET LCD button to enter the character at the current cursor position. Repeat this procedure until your name is complete. The BACK LCD button can be used to back up one space and delete a character.

When the name is complete press the OK LCD button to register the

name for the current custom style, or CANCEL to abort.

Custom Style

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

?Store the custom style. ..............................................................................

Press the STORE LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE display page 3 to store the current custom style in the internal memory. The “Store XXXXXXXX?” confirmation prompt and MEMORY No. parameter will appear (“XXXXXXXX” is the style name). Use the MEMORY No. ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons to select the memory number — 1 through 4 — to which you want to store the custom style, then press OK to store or CANCEL to abort.

• The tempo setting at the time the Custom Style is stored becomes the preset tempo for that style.

• If the selected memory number already contains a style, the style name will appear next to the memory number. The existing style will be overwritten when a new style is stored.

[Exit when done. ..................................................................................................

Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style mode and

return to the normal play mode.

EXIT

• Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned off, so be sure to save your custom style before turning the power off — see “Save to disk” on page 66.

Other Custom Style Functions

In addition to the various functions described in the basic custom style recording procedure, above, the CUSTOM STYLE display pages include several other functions that you may find useful when creating custom styles.

■ Recall Section ......................................................................................................

This function makes it possible to recall the last-stored version of the currently selected section (all parts of the section are recalled). Simply press the RECALL SECTION LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE display page 2. If the recall operation can’t be carried out (i.e. The time signature has been changed), the “Can’t recall!” alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previous display.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

■ Style Clear ................................................................................................................

Press the STYLE CLEAR LCD button in CUSTOM STYLE display

page 3 to entirely clear the current custom style. The “Are you

sure?” confirmation prompt will appear. Press YES to clear the style or NO to abort.

■ Volume & Effects ...............................................................................................

Custom Style

CUSTOM STYLE display page 4 includes a range of parameters that

let you individually set the volume, reverb, effect, and pan for each part of each custom style section. Use the SECT. parameter to select the section (or “ALL” sections), and the PART parameter to select the part (or “ALL” parts). The third LCD button selects VOLUME, REVERB, EFFECT or PAN, and the VALUE (or DEPTH) parameter sets the amount or depth. When VOLUME is selected the SECT. parameter is fixed at “ALL” and the VALUE range is from –50 to +50, relative to the preset volume of the source style. The REVERB and EFFECT DEPTH ranges are from 0 to 100. The PAN VALUE settings are L10 (full left) … C (center) … R10 (full right). When EFFECT is selected the TYPE parameter appears and you can also select the effect type via the TYPE LCD button. The available effect types are listed below.

Effect Type List

• CHORUS 1

• CHORUS 2

• CHORUS 3

• CELESTE 1

• CELESTE 2

• CELESTE 3

• FLANGER 1

• FLANGER 2

• OFF

• Normally the preset VALUE and EF-

FECT TYPE are initially selected. If PART is set to “ALL”, the R1 part preset values are displayed. If SECTION is set to “ALL”, the MAIN A pre- set values are displayed.

• Effect type “OTHERS” may appear if the preset effect type is other than that of what is in the list. The “OTHERS” selection cannot be re-selected once you change to a different type.

Custom Style

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

■ Save to Disk............................................................................................................

A complete set of 4 custom styles or individual custom styles can be

saved to disk via CUSTOM STYLE page 5.

After making sure that a properly formatted disk is inserted in the

Clavinova disk drive (page 7), use the MEMORY No. ▲ and ▼ buttons to select the memory number of the custom style you want to save to disk, or “ALL” if you want to save a complete set of 4 custom styles. When this is done, press the SAVE LCD button to start saving the data to disk. At this point the name entry display will appear and you can enter a name for the Custom Style disk file in the same way as you entered a name for the Custom Style itself (page 63). Press SAVE when the name has been entered. If a file with the same name already exists the “Same name! Overwrite?” confirmation prompt will appear. Press OK to overwrite the existing file or CANCEL to abort.

• Saved Custom Style files can be loaded via the “STYLE FILE LOAD” function described in the “Style File Load” section (page 69).

Your custom styles must be stored to internal memory before they can be saved to disk (see step 10 of the basic custom style recording procedure). If a custom style has not been stored and you attempt to save it to disk, the “Please store to memory before saving to disk” alert display will appear. If this happens press OK to return to the previ- ous display (CUSTOM STYLE display page 3), store the custom style, then try saving again.

■ Delete from Disk ................................................................................................

Saved custom styles can also be deleted from disk via CUSTOM STYLE page 5.

After making sure that the disk containing the custom style files is inserted in the Clavinova disk drive, press the DELETE LCD button. Use the FILE ▲ ▼ LCD buttons to select the custom style file you want to delete from disk. The “Are you sure?” confirmation prompt will appear. Press YES to delete the custom style file or NO to abort.

Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style mode and return to the normal play mode.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Playing Back Your Custom Styles

Once created, your original custom styles can be selected for play-

back by pressing the [DISK/CUSTOM] button (its LED will light), and then using the STYLE ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons — or the data dial or [–/+] buttons — to select the custom style you want to play. The selected style can then be played and used with ABC auto accompaniment in exactly the same way as the preset styles (page 38).

• Since only one type of INTRO, FILL IN, and ENDING section can be recorded for each Custom Style, no “A/B” variations are produced during playback.

Custom Style

Custom Style Alert & Error Displays

The following alert and error displays may appear in the corresponding situations.

■ Insufficient Memory To Store ..............................................................

This alert message will appear if there is not enough memory to per-

form a store operation.

In this case it will be necessary to either delete a style you don’t need

or simplify the style you are currently recording. Press CANCEL to return to CUSTOM STYLE display page 1, at which point you can simplify the current style (by clearing a part, etc.), or DELETE to go to the “Delete style ?” display:

Use the MEMORY No. ▲ and ▼ buttons to select the number of the

style you want to delete, then press OK to delete the style, or CANCEL to abort.

• The amount of memory being used for the selected style is also shown on the display (in approximate kilobytes) so as to set up the approximate standard which style to delete in relation to the total 100 KB memory space.

Custom Style

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

■ Memory Full During Recording ..................................................................

This alert message will appear if the memory becomes full during record-

ing or editing.

Press OK to return to CUSTOM STYLE display page 1 and simplify the

style by clearing a part, etc.

■ Exit Before Store ........................................................................................................

If you press [EXIT] button to exit from the Custom Style function before

storing the style the following display will appear.

Select a memory number and press YES to store the style and then exit,

press NO to exit without storing the style, or press CANCEL to return to the Custom Style mode.

■ Style Change Before Store..............................................................................

If you attempt to select a different source style before storing the current

style you recorded, the following display will appear.

Select a memory number and press OK to store the style and then select

the new source style, or press CANCEL to return to the Custom Style mode.

• If you want to select a different

source style without storing the current style, exit from the CUSTOM STYLE mode without storing the style (see “Exit Before Store” above), and then re-enter the CUSTOM STYLE mode.

Style File Load

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Style files from optional Yamaha “Style File” disks, or disks contain- ing custom style files you’ve created yourself, can be loaded into the CVP-94/92 and played as required.

About the Yamaha Style File Format

• The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original auto-accompaniment format which has evolved through years of development and refinement. Style File Format allows you to use exceptionally high quality accompaniments with a variety of chord types through its unique conversion system. In addition to the internal styles, the optional style disks let you use different sophisticated styles created with the Style File Format.

• Loaded disk styles will be retained in memory only until the power is turned off.

• One pre-programmed temporary style is automatically loaded into the [DISK/ CUSTOM] memory whenever the power is turned on.
