Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-154S/155 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. The
CLP-155 additionally features stereo sampling of its PIANO 1 voice for unmatched realism and ex­pressive power.
Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4 stages — provides extensive expressive control and out-
standing playability.
Dual play mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
Unique Clavinova Tone voice provides a fresh sound for new musical expression.
Damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano voices, simulates the string and sound-
board resonance of acoustic pianos.
Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the keyboard (up to ap-
proximately 4,200 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
close the key cover to protect the keyboard, or 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-154S/155 name plate is located on the bottom panel.

For details refer to “TRANSPOSITION” on page 10, “TOUCH SENSITIVITY” on page 10, and “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on page 15.
6 Voice Selectors
The CLP-154S has six voice selectors and the CLP-155 has eight. 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-154S/155 also has a DUAL mode in which two voices can be played simultaneously across the full range of the keyboard — see page 7 for details.
0 [DEMO] Button
Activates the demo playback mode in which you can select playback of dif­ferent demonstration sequences for each of the Clavinova’s voices. See page 6 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 input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is
NOTE
not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
The AUX OUT L/L+R and 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-154S and CLP-155 feature high-performance stereo amplifiers delivering 20 and 30 watts per channel, respectively. The CLP-155 features a bass-reflex type enclosure with two 13-cm and two 5-cm speakers, while the CLP-154S houses a pair of 13-cm speaker units in a sealed enclosure.
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either

directly or through external equipment.

MIDI
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 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 15.

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.
You can also change the overall tone or add reverb and/or effects as de­sired by using the [REVERB] button, and the [BRILLIANCE] button on the CLP-155 (see page 9 for [BRILLIANCE] button operation, “Reverb” on page 8).

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 PIANO 2/ CLAVINOVA TONE combination PIANO 2 is the left voice and CLAVINOVA TONE 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.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in the “Default Settings” chart, below.

Reverb
The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and
expressive power.
To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off.
OFF ............When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural
damper effect is applied to the piano voices. This simulates the natural resonance of an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed.
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.
COSMIC ....The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and
animation to your music.
