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 Betr iebsspannungswerten auf dem T ypenschild
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 inférieur 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. En algunas zonas puede
haberse incorporado un selector de
tensión en el 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.

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 or
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:
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 the instrument or 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 multiple-connector. 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, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• On the CVP-600, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe
too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s finish.
• On the CVP-600, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.
• 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.
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in the key cover gap.
• 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 stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
■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.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

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:

■ 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.
● 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 136). If
the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted,
the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

Basic Operation
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Virtually all of the Clavinova’s operations are done from the LCD
display. When you press a b utton 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 directly below, or to
the left or right of 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 five buttons
located to the left and right of the LCD display are referred to as the left/
right LCD buttons. These buttons are used to directly select parameters
and settings in the LCD display.
12
PAG E
EXIT DISPLAY HOLD
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.
“Soft” rectangle
(with rounded corners)
CVP-98/96/600
“Hard” rectangle
12
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
■ 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.
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.
Basic Operation
PAG E
EXIT DISPLAY HOLD
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).
PAG E
EXIT DISPLAY HOLD
• 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.
Settings which can be selected by using the left and right LCD buttons are surrounded by “hard” rectangles. Select these settings directly
by pressing the left or right LCD buttons.
PAGE [
Some of the Clavinova’s functions are contained on successive display 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
[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.
Basic Operation
• 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 153).

Turn the [CONTRAST] button in order to adjust the contrast or
brightness of the display.

Basic Operation
Memory Backup
The Backup function (page 147) 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.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
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 148).
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 147.
If the Clavinova 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 Clavinova 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.

Using the Pedals
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
The Clavinova 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.
• 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.
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 133 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.

Setting the Depth for Each Part — Reverb Part Depth
The Reverb Part Depth parameter lets you make different Reverb
Depth settings for the microphone input connected to the [MIC.] jack,
the rhythm, bass, and chord parts of the Automatic Accompaniment
(page 47), 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 (maxi-
mum) 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 MIC., 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.
You can also advance the Depth value by pressing MIC., BASS,

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 58.)
● 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 59.)
● Multi Finger
With Multi Finger, you can use either the Single Finger or Fingered
method to indicate chords for the accompaniment. (See page 59.)
● Full Keyboard
Full Keyboard automatically produces appropriate automatic accompaniment for virtually anything you play on the keyboard, in any range.
(See page 59.)
• Detailed explanations of the use of
Single Finger, Multi Finger, Fingered,
and Full Keyboard are given on pages
58 and 59.

● Multi Finger
This method allows you to produce accompaniment using either Single Finger or Fingered. However, when indicating minor, seventh or
minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black
key nearest the root note of the chord.
Playing with the Auto Accompaniment
• The automatic accompaniment will
sometimes not change when related
chords are played in sequence (e.g.
some minor chords followed by the
minor seventh).
• The same accompaniment continues
even after releasing the chord in the
left range until the next chord is
played.
On-bass Chords
• To play “on-bass” chords, press the
desired bass note one octave lower
[mM7 (b5)]
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 accompaniment) 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 Clavinova will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about
anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You don’t have
• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely
short chords — less than an 8th note

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.)
Keep in mind...
• The DUAL or SPLIT mode can be
used with the Auto Accompaniment.
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).

Individual Part Volume Control
The Clavinova has five accompaniment parts: Bass, Chord, Pad,
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.
RHYTHM This is the main rhythm part. The Rhythm part usually plays
one of the drum kits.
Each volume setting of the five accompaniment parts can be adjusted
individually by using the mixer function. Press the [MIXER] button
(the lamp lights) and the MIXER display appears.
• By adjusting the volume balance of the
various parts and setting some parts’
volume to 0, you can create different
types of accompaniment and make
changes to the basic style accompaniment.
• Some styles may not use all five accompaniment parts.

• 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,

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 MEASURE LCD button to select a different number of meas-
ures for the selected section, or the data dial or [–/+] buttons once the
MEASURE 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.

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 “RECORD” 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). No indication appears for the parts that contain no data.
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 except
Organ Combi. voice can be used. For the remaining parts, all voices except [DRUMS] and Organ Combi. voice 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:
3
3
3
32nd notes
16th note triplets
16th notes
8th note triplets
8th notes
quarter-note triplets
• 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...........................
Custom Style
Repeat steps 3 through 7 until all parts or all sections have been recorded as required.
>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 display. Use the CHAR 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
CHAR SET LCD button to enter the character at the current cursor position. Repeat this procedure until your name is complete. The BACK
SPACE LCD button can be used to back up one space and delete a character.
• During Custom Style recording, no
MIXER display is available.
When the name is complete press the OK LCD button to register the
name for the current custom style, or CANCEL to abort.

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

■ Volume & Effects...............................................................................................
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 SECTION 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 SECTION 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
75
• CELESTE 1
• CELESTE 2
• CELESTE 3
• FLANGER 1
• FLANGER 2
• OFF
• Normally the preset VALUE and EFFECT 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 preset 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.

■ Save to Disk............................................................................................................
A complete set of 12 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 12 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 73). 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 80).
76
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

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 47).
• 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.

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.
