Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-152S/153S 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.

● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator system offers rich, realistic voices.

● Piano-like touch response provides extensive expressive control and outstanding playability.

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

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

● Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.

● Record and play back anything you play on the keyboard (up to approximately 1,300 notes).

● 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

cover the keyboard with the dust cover provided.

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.

● Name Plate Location

The CLP-152S/153S name plate is located on the bottom panel.

If you will be using sheet music with your Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand, then flip down the music stand braces and engage them with the corresponding recesses.

The music stand can be lowered after slightly lifting it and folding the two brackets which support it against the back of the stand.

1 [POWER] Switch

Press the [POWER] switch once to turn the power ON, a second time to turn the power OFF. When the power is initially turned ON, the [PI- ANO] voice selector LED will light.

2 [MASTER VOLUME] Control

The [MASTER VOLUME] control adjusts the volume (level) of sound produced by the Clavinova’s internal stereo sound system. The [MAS- TER VOLUME] control also adjusts headphone volume when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack (page 4).

3 [TEMPO] Control

This control adjusts the tempo of the CLP-152S/153S metronome function as well as the playback tempo of the recorder function. The tempo range is from 32 to 280 quarter-note beats per minute.

4 [METRONOME] Button

Turns the metronome sound on and off. The [TEMPO] control, above, is used to set the tempo of the metronome sound. More precise tempo settings can be achieved by using the [METRONOME] button and the CLP-152S/153S keyboard as described on page 9.

5 Voice Selectors

The CLP-152S/153S has five voice selectors. Simply press any of the voice selectors to select the corresponding voice. The voice selector LED will light to indicate which voice is currently selected. The CLP-152S/153S also has a DUAL mode in which two voices can be played simultaneously across the full range of the keyboard — see page 6 for details.

• The PIANO voice is automatically selected whenever the [POWER]

switch is initially turned ON.

Damper pedal

These buttons control the CLP-152S/153S recorder, letting you record and play back just about anything you play on the keyboard — up to a maximum of about 1,300 notes. See page 10 for details.

7 [DEMO] Button

Activates the demo playback mode in which you can select playback of five pre-programmed demonstration sequences. See page 5 for details.

8 [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] Button

The [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button allows access to the Clavinova’s TRANSPOSE function (to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down) and MIDI functions. For details refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on page 7, and “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 12, respectively.

9 Pedals

The CLP-152S/153S’s soft/sostenuto (left) and damper (right) pedals provide a range of expressive control capabilities similar to the pedal functions on an acoustic piano. See page 7 for details.

Stereo System

These jacks are intended for use with an external tone generator module such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. The stereo outputs from the external tone generator module are connected to the AUX 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 leftand 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-152S/153S features a high-performance stereo amplifier delivering 20 watts per channel to a pair of 16-cm speaker units.

• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either

directly or through external equipment.

● PHONES Jacks (Bottom Panel)

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit) which can be used to control the Clavinova. 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 12.

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 PHONES jacks.

After making sure that the Clavinova’s AC plug is properly inserted into a

convenient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the keyboard to turn the power ON.

When the power is turned ON, the [PIANO] voice selector LED will light

(the PIANO voice is automatically selected whenever the power is turned ON).

Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.

ORGAN

The Clavinova 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.

Playing the Demonstration Tunes

The Dual Mode

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

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 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 HARPSICHORD/ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.

Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the combination 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.

All voice combinations are set to the same octave by default.
