Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-124 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instru­ment that employs advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova
will give you many years of musical pleasure.

● Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive power, while

the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic reproductions of all
other voices.

● 32-note polyphony permits use of the most sophisticated playing techniques.

● Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 3 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-

standing playability.

● Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.

● A number of built-in effects for wide-ranging sonic versatility.

● Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.

● Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulating the string and sound-

board resonance of acoustic pianos.

● MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range of advanced

MIDI music systems.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you
to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.

Taking Care Of Your Clavinova

Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment.

Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.

1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the inter-

nal circuitry.

2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and

close the key cover to protect the keyboard.

3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with

a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be
used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes,
solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or
damage the finish.

4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Con-

tact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the
finish.

5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from di-

rect sunlight, excessive humidity or heat.

6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors

or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching
or bumping it with hard objects.

7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the

voltage specified on the name plate.* In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of
the main unit. Make sure that the voltage selector is set
for the voltage in your area.

* Name Plate Location

The CLP-124 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

Stereo System

These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module
such as the Yamaha DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. The stereo outputs
from the external tone generator module are connected to the OPTIONAL
IN L and R jacks, allowing the sound of the tone generator to be reproduced
via the Clavinova’s internal sound system and speakers.

The AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova
for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or
recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural
sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/
L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and deliv­ered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.

The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System

The CLP-124 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 50 watts per channel,
driving a speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural re­sponse from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The speaker system includes
two 16-centimeter speaker units, two 10-centimeter units, and two 5-centimeters
speaker units.

Note: The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the OPTIONAL IN jacks,

either directly or through external equipment.

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de­vice (such as the DRC-20 Disk Recorder, or DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Mod­ule) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connec­tor re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing
“chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard).

More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 16.

Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here
for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of
the HEADPHONES jacks.

All CLP-124 voices have 32-note polyphony, which means you can play
up to 32 notes at once. The Clavinova also offers keyboard touch response,
so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to
how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends
on the selected voice.

* The total number of notes that can be played simultaneously is reduced from 32

to 16 when the DUAL play mode is used. See page 9 for information on the
DUAL play mode.

You can also change the overall tone or add reverb and/or effects as de­sired by using the [BRILLIANCE], [REVERB] and [EFFECT] buttons
(see page 4 for [BRILLIANCE] button operation, “Reverb” on page 10,
and “Effects” on page 11).

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are

normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Set­tings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors cor­responding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.

The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while

C

keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the
right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice
in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer to the rela­tive positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combina­tion STRINGS is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.

Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the com-

bination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave. To
shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors
corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5
again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same
way to shift the left voice.

Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in

the “Default Settings” chart, below.

In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other voice,

it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation when
initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector twice while
holding the other voice selector.

ROOM........This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of

acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room.

HALL 1 ......For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natu-

ral reverberation of a medium-size concert hall.

HALL 2 ......For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the

natural reverberation of a large concert hall.

To select an effect press the [EFFECT] button a few times until the indicator correspond­ing to the desired effect lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [EFFECT]
button is pressed). No effect is produced when all indicators are off.

DETUNE ......DETUNE delivers a thick, multi-instrument sound by producing two notes of

slightly different pitch for every single note you play on the keyboard — i.e.
the two notes are slightly “detuned.”

CHORUS .....This produces an animated “shimmering” effect that both thickens the sound

and gives it a more lively feel.

TREMOLO... TREMOLO is a gentle variation in volume that gives the sound a more dy-

namic feel. The tremolo speed is independently preset for each voice.

The CLP-124 has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

● Soft (Left) Pedal

● Sostenuto (Center)

Pedal

● Damper (Right)

Pedal

Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played.

The soft pedal actually functions in eight levels, depending on how hard it is pressed.

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

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When
the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. When a piano voice is selected
the damper pedal also produces a special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and
the sound board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sus­tained notes. The CLP-124 damper pedal additionally features continuous damping. This al­lows you to create shorter effects by pressing the damper pedal down only part of the way.

Touch Sensitivity

The [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button selects three different types of keyboard touch sensi-

tivity — HARD, MEDIUM or SOFT — to match different playing styles and preferences.

To select a touch sensitivity setting press the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button a few times
until the indicator corresponding to the desired setting lights (the indicators light in se­quence each time the [TOUCH SENSITIVITY] button is pressed).

HARD.........The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.

MEDIUM ....The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. This is the initial factory

default setting.

SOFT .........The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pressure.

longer periods, turn the power on briefly at least once a week.

If this settings is not memorized as described above, it is retained in

memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.

Transposition

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

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.

* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to

the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone,
the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semi­tones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones.
Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to
the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones.

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately

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

Individual Key Tuning

When used in ensemble with other keyboards and particularly acoustic pianos, however, slight
tuning discrepancies can arise. The CLP-124 is equipped with an individual key tuning features that
allows such differences to be accurately compensated for. The individual key tuning feature also
makes it possible to tune the CLP-124 to completely different standards, if required. The pitch of
each key can be raised or lowered by a maximum of 50 cents from the standard pitch.

Data Being Recorded

MIDI IN MIDI INMIDI OUTMIDI OUT

DRC-20

Clavinova

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard com­munication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment
that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated
instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the Clavinova,
of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the
MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the
MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second
keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer
with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond
precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is
that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi­instrument sounds.

This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI se­quence recording. A sequence recorder such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk
Recorder can be used to “record” MIDI data received from a Clavinova, for
example. When the recorded data is played back, the Clavinova automati­cally “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.

The examples given above really only scratch the surface. MIDI can do
much, much more. The CLP-124 offers a number of MIDI functions that
allows it to be used in fairly sophisticated MIDI systems.

● MIDI “Messages” Transmitted

& Received by the Clavinova

Note and Velocity Data

This information tells the receiving keyboard or tone generator to play a certain note (specified by the MIDI
note number) at a certain dynamic level (specified by the MIDI velocity value). Note and velocity data is trans­mitted by the Clavinova whenever a key is pressed, and the Clavinova’s internal AWM tone generator will
“play” the corresponding note(s) whenever note and velocity data is received from an external MIDI device.

Program Change Numbers

The CLP-124 transmits a MIDI program change number between 0 and 10 when one of its voice selectors is
pressed. This normally causes the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on a receiving MIDI device.
The Clavinova will respond in the same way, automatically selecting the appropriate voice when a MIDI pro­gram change number is received. See “Program Change ON/OFF” on page 18 for information on turning pro­gram change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.

Control Change Numbers

Control Change data representing Soft, Sostenuto and Damper pedal operations is transmitted by the
Clavinova whenever one of these pedals is used. If the receiving device is a tone generator or another keyboard,
it will respond in the same way as the Clavinova’s internal tone generator when one of the pedals is used. The
Clavinova also receives and responds to the appropriate control change data. See “Control Change ON/OFF” on
page 19 for information on turning control change number reception and transmission ON or OFF.

Note: Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN termi-

nals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 feet, since cables longer than
this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

The MIDI information (messages) transmitted and received by the CLP-

124 Clavinova are as follows:

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16
different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow se­lective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For
example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to “play” two
different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone
generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set
to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone genera­tor will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence
recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to
channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two
completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and
receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An “OMNI”
receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI chan­nels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of
the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (ex­cept when receiving mode messages).

MIDI Functions

Other MIDI Functions

The MIDI functions listed to the right are engaged by

holding down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button and press­ing the corresponding voice selector. Full details are given
in the following pages.

● Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova 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 Clavinova 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.

When using the DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module with the Clavinova, for example, Local Control should be
turned OFF when recording using the DOM-30 voices only, and ON when recording the Clavinova voices while
listening to playback of the DOM-30 voices.

● Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard
or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered Clavinova voice to be selected. The Clavinova
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 Clavinova without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.

● The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode

In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal
way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha
DOM-30 Disk Orchestra Module. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator.
Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The “split point,” or the
key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano
(Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line
or string section with the left hand.

When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-hand
section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI
channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the
“basic channel” (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection func­tion described previously).

● The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode

In the CLP-124 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an external
keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described in
the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the
Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [E.PIANO 2] voice selector instead of the [E.PIANO 1] voice
selector when activating the Split mode (see the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as
described in the previous section.

● Transmitting the Panel Settings

This function causes all the current Clavinova control 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 which will be used to control the Clavinova on playback. By transmitting the Clavinova panel settings
and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the Clavinova will be
automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter what appears to be a malfunction, please check the following

points before assuming that your Clavinova is faulty.

1. No Sound When the Power is Turned ON

Is the AC plug properly connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the AC connection carefully. Is the MASTER
VOLUME control turned up to a reasonable listening level?

2. The Clavinova Reproduces Radio or TV Sound

This can occur if there is a high-power transmitter in your vicinity. Contact your Yamaha dealer.

3. Intermittent Static Noise

This is usually due to turning ON or OFF a household appliance or other electronic equipment which is fed by the
same AC mains line as your Clavinova.

4. Interference Appears On Radio or TV Sets Located Near the Clavinova

The Clavinova contains digital circuitry which can generate radio-frequency noise. The solution is to move the
Clavinova further away from the affected equipment, or vice versa.

5. Distorted Sound When the Clavinova is Connected to An External Amplifier/Speaker System

If the Clavinova is connected to a stereo system or instrument amplifier and the sound is distorted, reduce the set­ting of the Clavinova volume control to a level at which the distortion ceases.

Before attaching the speaker box, remove the speaker
grille (the speaker grille is attached by “magic tape” and
can be easily pulled away from the speaker box). Lower
the speaker box (B) into place between the tops of the side
panels (E), center the speaker box to produce equal clear­ance on the right and left sides, then attach each side (from
below) using two short black screws 4. The grille side of
the speaker box must be installed facing the same direction
as the pedals on the pedal box (C).

Make sure that the speaker cord rests in the appropriate
grooves and extends over the back of the speaker box, as
shown in illustration “a”.

CAUTION!: Be careful not to catch your fingers between

the speaker box and stand assembly when lowering the
speaker box into place!

< Install the main unit (A).

Rest the rear edge of the main unit (A) on the front
edges of the cutouts in the side panels (E), then slide the
main unit backward firmly until it stops
clearance between the main unit side panels and the stand,
as shown in the illustration “b”). WATCH YOUR FIN-

GERS WHILE DOING THIS!!

There is slight horizontal play between the main unit and
side panels, so center the main unit, as shown in the illus­tration “c”, then attach the main unit with two long black
screws 5 in front and two short black screws 4 in back.
After the screws have been properly installed, re-attach the
speaker grille to the speaker box with the recessed corners

panneaux latéraux (E)

Avant de poser les haut-parleurs, enlevez la grille
frontale (celle-ci est fixée à l’aide de ruban adhésif et peut
être séparée facilement des haut-parleurs). Abaissez les
haut-parleurs (B) entre les panneaux latéraux (E) et centrez
les haut-parleurs de manière à obtenir un jeu égal du côté
gauche et du côté droit puis fixez de chaque côté (à partir
du dessous) à l’aide de deux vis courtes noires 4. Le côté
grille des haut-parleurs doit être dirigé dans le même sens
que les pédales sur le pédalier (C).

Veillez à ce que le cordon des haut-parleurs soit bien
placé dans la rainure et dépasse de l’arrière des haut­parleurs, comme montré sur l’illustration “a”.

ATTENTION: En abaissant les haut-parleurs, faites atten-

tion de ne pas vous prendre les doigts entre les haut­parleurs et la traverse métallique.

< Posez le clavier (A)

Placez le bord arrière du clavier (A) sur le bord avant des
découpes des panneaux latéraux (E), puis faites glisser le
clavier vers l’arrière jusqu’à ce qu’il vienne en butée
sorte qu’il n’y ait aucun jeu entre les panneaux latéraux du
clavier et le support, comme montré sur l’illustration “b”).

FAITES ATTENTION A VOS DOIGTS EN
EXECUTANT CETTE OPERATION!!

Du fait qu’il y a un jeu horizontal très léger entre le
clavier et les panneaux latéraux, vous devez d’abord
centrer le clavier comme montré sur l’illustration “c” et le
fixer ensuite à l’aide de deux vis longues noires 5 à
l’avant et à l’aide de vis courtes noires 4 à l’arrière. Une
fois que les vis sont en place, reposez la grille frontale des
haut-parleurs avec les coins en creux dirigés vers le haut (la
pousser pour la mettre en place).

Acople la caja de los altavoces (B) en los

M

paneles laterales (E).

Antes de acoplar la caja de los altavoces, extraiga la rejilla
de los altavoces (la rejilla de los altavoces está coplada por
medio de “cinta mágica” y puede ser separada fácilmente de
la caja de los altavoces). Baje la caja de los altavoces (B) en
su lugar entre las partes superiores de los paneles laterales
(E), centre la caja de los altavoces para producir una holgura
igual en los lados derecho e izquierdo, después acople cada
lado (desde abajo) usando dos tornillos negros cortos 4. El
lado de la rejilla de la caja de los altavoces debe instalarse
encarado hacia la misma dirección que los pedales de la caja
de pedales (C).

Asegúrese de que los cables de los altavoces reposan en las
ranuras apropiadas y se extienden por la parte posterior de la
caja de los altervoces, como se muestra en la ilustración “a”.

PRECAUCION: ¡Tenga cuidado de no atrapar sus dedos

entre la caja de altavoces y el conjunto del soporte cuando
baje la caja de los altavoces en su lugar!

< Instale la unidad principal (A).

Apoye el reborde posterior de la unidad principal (A) en
los rebordes frontales de los cortes de los paneles laterales
(E), después deslice la unidad principal hacia atrás
firmemente hasta que se pare
entre los paneles laterales de la unidad principal y el soporte,
como se muestra en la ilustración “b”). ¡TENGA

CUIDADO CON SUS DEDOS MIENTRAS LO HACE!

Existe un ligero juego horizontal entre la unidad principal
y los paneles laterales, por eso centre la unidad principal
como se muestra en la ilustración “c”, después acople la
unidad principal con dos tornillos negros largos 5 en la
parte frontal y dos tornillos negros cortos 4 en la parte pos­terior. Después de haber instalado correctamente los
tornillos, vuelva a acoplar la rejilla de los altavoces en la caja
de altavoces con las esquinas con huecos encaradas hacia
arriba (presionando en su lugar).

> Connect the cords.

The power, pedal, and speaker cord plugs must be
plugged into the corresponding connectors in the main
unit. Make sure that the power and pedal cords are clipped
into the cable clips provided before plugging them into the
main unit connectors. The pedal and speaker cord plugs
only go in one way (the lugs on the connectors should face
the rear of the unit, as shown in the illustration), so don’t
try to force them in the wrong way around.

? Be sure to set the adjuster.

For stability, an adjuster is provided on the bottom of
the pedal box (C). Rotate the adjuster until it comes in firm
contact with the floor surface. The adjuster ensures stable
pedal operation and facilitates pedal effect control. If the
adjuster is not in firm contact with the floor surface, dis­torted sound may result.

Important: Check once more to make sure that all screws

have been securely tightened.

> Schließen Sie die Kabel an.

Die Stecker von Netz-, Pedal- und Lautsprecherkabel
müssen an die zugehörigen Buchsen an der Tastatureinheit
angeschlossen werden. Führen Sie das Netz- und das
Pedalkabel vor dem Anschluß durch die dafür
vorgesehenen Kabelhalter. Die Stecker des Pedalkabels
und des Lautsprecherkabels sind mit einer Führungsnase
versehen, die beim Einstecken zur Rückseite des Instru­ments weisen muß (siehe Abbildung). Drücken Sie die
Stecker nicht mit Gewalt falsch herum in die Buchsen.

Justieren Sie schließlich noch den

?

Höhenversteller.

Zur Stabilisierung ist an der Unterseite des Pedalkastens
(C) ein Höhenversteller vorgesehen. Schrauben Sie den
Höhenversteller heraus, bis er fest auf dem Fußboden steht.
Der Höhenversteller sorgt für stabile Pedalbetätigung und
ermöglicht eine präzise Regelung des Betätigungshubs.
Wenn er nicht fest auf dem Boden steht, können beim
Treten der Pedale Klangverzerrungen auftreten.

Wichtiger Hinweis: Vergewissern Sie sich

abschließend noch einmal davon, daß alle Schrauben
fest angezogen sind.

> Connectez les cordons

Les prises du cardon d’alimentation, du cordon du
pédalier et du cordon des haut-parleurs doivent être
branchées aux connecteurs correspondants du clavier.
Veillez à ce que le cardon d’alimentation et le cordon du
pédalier soient correctement attachés à l’aide des serre­câbles fournis avant de les brancher aux connecteurs du
clavier. Les prises du cordon du pédalier et du cordon des
haut-parleurs ne peuvent être branchées que dans un seul
sens (la languette de la prise doit être dirigée vers l’arrière
du clavier, eomme montré sur l’illustration) et vous ne
devez donc pas essayer de les forcer pour les mettre en
place du mauvais côté.

N’oubliez pas de régler la hauteur du

?

pédalier

Pour assurer la stabilité du pédalier (C), un dispositif de
réglage a été prévu à sa partie inférieure. Tournez ce
dispositif jusqu’à ce qu’il soit en contact ferme avec la
surface du sol. Ce dispositif assure la stabilité du pédalier
lors de son utilisation et facilite la commande au pied des
effets. Si ce dispositif n’est pas en contact ferme avec le
sol, il pourra se produire une distorsion du son.

IMPORTANT: Vérifiez que toutes les vis sont bien

serrées à fond.

> Conecte los cables.

Las clavijas de los cables de alimentación, pedales y
altavoces deben enchufarse en los conectores
correspondientes de la unidad principal. Asegúrese de que
los cables de alimentación y de los pedales están fijados en
los fijadores incorporados antes de enchufarlos a los
conectores de la unidad principal. Las clavijas del cable de
pedales y altavoces se enchufan en una dirección (las
lengüetas de los conectores deben estar encaradas hacia la
parte posterior de la unidad, como se muestra en la
ilustración), por eso no trate de forzarlos en la dirección
errónea.

? Asegúrese de ajustar el ajustador.

Para la estabilidad del aparato, se proporciona un
ajustador en la parte inferior de la caja de pedales (C).
Gire el ajustador hasta que contacte firmemente con el
suelo. El ajustador asegura una operación estable de los
pedales y facilita el control del efecto de los pedales. Si el
ajustador no contacta firmemente con el suelo, puede
resultar en sonido distorsionado.

Importante: Compruebe una vez más para asegurarse de

que todos los tornillos se han apretado bien.
