Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS„ on pages 6 -7. Achten Sie darauf, vor Einsatz des Clavinova die “VORSICHTSMASSNAHMEN„ auf Seite 6-7 durchzulesen. Avant d'utiliser le Clavinova, lire attentivement la section «PRECAUTIONS D'USAGE» aux pages 6- 7. Antes de utilizar el Clavinova, lea las “PRECAUCIONES„ que debe tener en cuenta en las páginas 6- 7.

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

Überprüfung der Stromversorgung

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

Contrôler 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

Verifique la alimentación de corriente

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.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/Power cord

●

ENGLISH

●

Do not open

●

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:

Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Use only the supplied power cord/plug. 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.

PRECAUTIONS

(1)B-7

Location

●

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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

●

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

●

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

●

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.

1/2

Page 7

Connections

●

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. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

●

When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

●

Take care that the key cover does not pinch your ﬁngers, and do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.

●

Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

●

Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber 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.

●

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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

●

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 data

Saving and backing up your data

●

Depending upon the Backup Settings (page 48), internal data is retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The data could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI data ﬁler.

Backing up the external media

●

To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two external media.

ENGLISH

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.

CLP-130/120 Features

ENGLISH

Features

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-130/120 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling (CLP-130)/AWM Stereo Sampling (CLP-120)” tonegeneration technology for rich, musical voices, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. The CLP-130/120 Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The CLP-130 Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” (page 88) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-130/120 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

TIP

To learn characteristics of the voices, listen to demo songs for each voice (page 16). Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 63 for more information on the characteristics of each preset voice.

TERMINOLOGY

Voice:

On the Clavinova, a voice means a “tone” or “tonal color.”

TIP

You can control the loudness of a voice by adjusting the force with which you strike the keys, although different playing styles (touch sensitivities) have little or no effect with certain musical instruments.

Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 63.

ENGLISH

The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Damper (Right) Pedal

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

GRAND PIANO 1

voice on the CLP130, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.















When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

CLP-130/120

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 61: CLP-130, page 58: CLP-120).

TIP

The depth of the effect produced by the “Sustain Samples” can be adjusted via the “Pedal Functions” (page 44) in Function mode.

Selecting & Playing Voices

Page 22

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (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.”

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.

Soft (Left) Pedal

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.

TIP

Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.

TIP

The left pedal can be assigned to song start/stop operation or variation function (CLP-130) via the “Left Pedal Mode” described on page 44.

ENGLISH

[VARIATION] (CLP-130)

Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]

The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

CLP-130/120 Recording Your Performance

ENGLISH

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the CLP130/120 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and righthand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The CLP-130/120’s two-track Song Recorder allows the recording of up to three User Songs (one User Song on the CLP-120).

Recording to [TRACK1]

CAUTION

Notes on recording

All user song recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods of time, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store the data to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 47.

1. Select a song for recording. (CLP-130)

Press the

[USER 1/2/3]

button to select a song for recording. The indicator of the selected song will light. (No song is selected if none of the indicators are lit.)

Make all the initial settings.

Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you will be using Dual or Split mode). Make any other desired settings (tempo, reverb, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume. You can also adjust the playback volume using

[MASTER VOLUME].

TIP

You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording device via the AUX OUT connector (page 50).

TERMINOLOGY

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. The Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

While the Clavinova is play- ing or stopped, pressing these track buttons turns off the indicators, and the data on those tracks is not played. Pressing the track buttons toggles track playback on and off.

TIP

Tracks can be turned on or off before or during playback. If both tracks are turned off on the CLP-120, playback will not start (or the playback will stop).

Starting playback automatically when you start playing the keyboard (Synchro Start)

You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard. This is called the “Synchro Start” function. To engage the Synchro Start function, press the SONG [START/STOP] button while holding a track button that is ON. The right-most dot on the display will ﬂash at the current

ENGLISH

tempo.

(Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Synchro Start function.)

Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.

This function is useful when you wish to match the timing of the beginning of the playback sound and the start of your own performance.

Assigning the START/STOP function to the left pedal

The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation via the “Pedal Start/ Stop” (page 44). This is convenient for starting playback of the recorded part anytime after you have started playing.

Flash

TIP

You can adjust the volume of a part of a song from “50 Greats for the Piano” for which playback is turned off (pages 18, 45). During recorder playback, the volume of a track that is turned off will always be “0.”

NOTE

If you press the SONG [START/ STOP] button while holding

down a track button that is OFF, track playback is turned on and the Synchro Start function is placed on stand-by.

F2. Selecting a Scale

You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience these tunings with the Clavinova.

1. Engage Function mode and select .

2. Press the [+/YES] button to engage the scale function’s sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/ FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons to select the desired sub-mode. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the number of the desired tuning.

Sub-mode

Equal

One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently the most popular piano tuning scale.

PureMajor/PureMinor

Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound. They are sometimes used for chorus parts.

Pythagorean

This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MeanTone

This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. The scale became popular during the late 16th century through the late 18th century, and was used by Handel.

WerckMeister/KirnBerger

These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are often used today to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

F2.1: Scale

Setting range: 1: Equal Temperament

2: Pure Major 3: Pure Minor 4: Pythagorean 5: Mean Tone 6: Werckmeister 7: Kirnberger

Normal setting: 1: Equal Temperament

F2.2: Base Note

If you select a scale other than Equal Temperament, you need to specify the root. (You can specify the root note with Equal Temperament selected, but it is not effective. The base note setting is effective for tunings other than the Equal Temperament tuning.)

Setting range:

ENGLISH

F8.3: (CLP-130)/F7.3: (CLP-120) Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the CLP-130/120 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the CLP-130/120 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.

Setting range: ON/OFF Normal setting: ON

TIP

ALL:

A “Multi-timbre” Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the Clavinova to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

1&2:

A “1&2” Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the Clavinova to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

TIP

Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the CLP-130/120’s panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard.

NOTE

No MIDI reception occurs when Demo/Preset Song mode is engaged.

Normally the CLP-130/120 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The CLP-130/120 will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the CLP-130/120 without affecting the external MIDI device.

TIP

For information on program change numbers for each of the CLP-130/120’s voices, refer to page 71 in the MIDI Data Format section.

Setting range: ON/OFF Normal setting: ON

F8.5: (CLP-130)/F7.5: (CLP-120) Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the CLP-130/120 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). The CLP-130/120 also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appropriate controls are operated. This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, for example, the CLP-130/120’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

TIP

For information on control changes that can be used with the CLP-130/120, refer to the MIDI Data Format on page 71.

Setting range: -12 – 0 – 12 (in semitones) Normal setting: 0

F8.7: (CLP-130)/F7.7: (CLP-120) Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current CLP-130/120 panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder, such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, which will be used to control the CLP-130/120 on playback. By transmitting the CLP-130/120 panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the CLP-130/120 will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

F9. (CLP-130) / F8. (CLP-120) Backup Functions

However, the backup settings themselves, and the contents of the user song recorder memory, are always

ENGLISH

backed up.

Even if the backup function is turned on via one of the functions described below, the data will be retained in memory for only about one week if the power is not turned on during this time. If the backup period is exceeded, all settings will be reset to their default values. If you want to retain the backup settings for longer periods, be sure to turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

TERMINOLOGY

Backup:

You can back up some settings, such as voice selection and reverb type, so that they will not be lost when you turn off the power to the Clavinova.

If the backup function is turned on, the settings at power off are effective. If the backup function is turned off, the settings in memory are erased when you turn off the power. In this case, when you turn on the power to the unit, the default settings (the initial settings) will be used. (The factory setting default list is found on page 70.)

ENGLISH

Connecting a Personal Computer

You can enjoy computer music data on the Clavinova by connecting a computer to the TO HOST (or MIDI) jack.

There are three methods by which to connect the Clavinova to a personal computer:

1. Connect the serial port on the computer to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack (page 53).

2. Use a MIDI interface and the Clavinova’s MIDI connectors (page 54).

3. Use the USB port on the computer and the UX256, UX96, or UX16, a USB interface (page 55).

For more information, refer to the speciﬁed pages.

NOTE

When the Clavinova is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the Clavinova will not be played correctly.

“The Clavinova-Computer Connection,” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer system (the manual is not written for any speciﬁc models). The document is available as a PDF ﬁle (in English) at the following Internet address:

Clavinova Web site (English only):

http://www.yamahaclavinova.com/

Yamaha Manual Library:

http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/

NOTE

When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, ﬁrst turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer before you connect any cables or set the HOST SELECT switch. After making the connections and switch settings, turn on the power to the computer ﬁrst, then to the Clavinova.

NOTE

If you do not use the [TO HOST] jack of the Clavinova, make sure you disconnect the cable from the jack. If the cable is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly.

NOTE

will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly connected, the HOST SELECT switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In this situation, turn the power off to both the Clavinova and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of the HOST SELECT switch. Once the connection and HOST SELECT switch position is veriﬁed, turn the power of the computer on ﬁrst, then the Clavinova, and check whether the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly.

NOTE

When the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “PC-1,” PC-2,” or “Mac,” you can use the [TO HOST] jack, but the MIDI connectors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. On the other hand, when the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “MIDI,” you can use the MIDI connectors, but not the [TO HOST] jack since no data is trans- ferred via the [TO HOST] jack.

Page 53

1. Connecting the serial port on the computer to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack

Connect the computer’s serial port (RS-232C or RS-422) to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack. With this connection, the Clavinova functions as a MIDI interface. Therefore, you do not need a special MIDI interface.

Connection

Use a special serial cable (page 53) to connect the computer’s serial port (RS-232C or RS-422) to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The Clavinova does not turn on. The Clavinova has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into

the socket on the Clavinova, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 11).

A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.

This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument.

Noise is heard from the speakers or headphones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the Clavinova. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the Clavinova.

The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard.

• The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

• Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack (when the SPEAKER switch is set to the “NORMAL” position). If the SPEAKER switch is set to the “OFF” position, set it to “NORMAL” or “ON” (page 12).

• Make sure that Local Control (page 46) is ON.

The speakers do not switch off when a pair of headphones is connected.

The SPEAKER switch may be switched “ON.” Set the SPEAKER switch to the “NORMAL” position (page 12).

The damper pedal has no effect, or the sound continuously sustains even when the damper pedal is not pressed.

The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert the pedal plug into the proper jack (pages 57–62).

TIP

If appears on the display, an internal malfunction has occurred. In this case, contact your Yamaha dealer.
