Owner's Manual Bedienungsanleitung Mode d'emploi Manual de instrucciones
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.
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.
CAUTION
Water warning
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.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
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 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.
Power supply/Power cord
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.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
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.
Assembly
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.
CLP-130/120

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
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.

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
21
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.
