Yamaha Audio CLP-811, CLP-611 User Manual

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 arrière 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 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.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-811/611 Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument employing advanced Yamaha music technology. With proper care, your Clavinova will provide you with many years of musical pleasure.

● Yamaha’s AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) sound generation provides extremely rich, realistic voices. Piano voices are especially true and powerful.

● The damper pedal produces natural piano resonances, obtained from direct sampling of string and soundboard resonance characteristics.

● Piano-like touch response offers great control and playability. Responsiveness can be set to any of four levels.

● Dual mode lets you play any two voices in unison.

● Split mode divides the keyboard into two zones, so

that you can play a different voice with each hand.

● Special Organ Combination voice can be freely edited.

● Unique Clavinova T one voice provides a new and versatile sound.

To ensure that you can take full advantage of your Clavinova’s many outstanding features, please read through this manual carefully, and store in a safe place for future reference.

● Built-in metronome function facilitates effective practice.

● Digital recording function can record and replay your keyboard input (up to about 4,200 notes).

● With MIDI compatibility and a solid range of MIDI functions, the Clavinova can serve well within a wide variety of advanced MIDI setups.

● Built-in computer interface allows for direct connection to personal computers running advanced music software.

● Large LCD provides an effective and friendly interface. Well-designed displays make setup and control operations extremely easy.

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 internal 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 as these can dull or damage the finish.

4 Never place any vinyl products on your

Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish.

5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away

from direct sunlight, excessive humidity and 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 voltage matches

the voltage specified on the Clavinova’s nameplate (located on the bottom panel, under the keyboard). Note that some Clavino vas are equipped with a voltage selector dial located next to the power-cord inlet. If your unit includes a selector, turn it as necessary (with a screwdriver) to select the correct voltage.

● Nameplate Location

The CLP-811/611 nameplate is located on the bottom panel.

Adjust the playback tempo for demo songs and piano songs. Also adjust the metronome tempo. You can set the tempo to any value between 32 and 280. Pressing [▼] and [▲] at the same time resets the

value to its standard setting (either 120 or else as set within the currently selected song).

• Holding down the appropriate increment/decrement button (TEMPO [▼][▲]/[-/NO][+/YES] or SONG SELECT[▼][▲]) causes the corresponding value to change continuously. In most cases the setting will stop upon reaching the maximum or minimum limit. In some cases, however, the setting will continue to loop through the available values.

• You can return any value to its factory default by pressing [-/NO] and [-/YES] at the same time.

CLP-811/611 Basic Controls and Functions

Memory Backup

The Clavinova includes a memory-backup feature than can retain settings while power is off and restore them when you resume play. Although all backup is set to OFF at time of shipping, you can use the FUNCTION mode’s Backup setting (F15 on the CLP-811, F14 on the CLP-611) to selectivety set backup on or off for different groups of settings.

If backup for a group is set OFF, all settings within that group return to their factory defaults each time power comes on. (A listing of factory defaults appears on page 47.) Note that the Clavinova unconditionally backs up and restores the Backup settings themselves, as well as any keyboard input that you have recorded.

Memory backup remains effective for about a week, after which all settings will return to their factory defaults. If you wish to retain your settings for a long period of time, please be sure to switch the Clavinova on for at least a few minutes each week.

CLP-811/611 function groups

CLP-811/611 functions can be broadly divided into three groups, as follows.

Voice and performance functions (p.13-p.19) Recording and playback functions (p.20-p.23) FUNCTION-mode settings (p.24-p.37)

FUNCTION mode...

You can use FUNCTION mode to set a wide variety of system and utility parameters. All parameters are originally set to standard default values (factory defaults), but you are free to change them to suit your particular needs.

Memory...

The Clavinova stores the various settings you have made within its internal memory.

Backup...

Use the memory backup feature to retain memory settings while power is off, so that they will be restored when you switch the power back on.

CLP-811/611 Basic Controls and Functions

Playing the Demos and Piano Songs

Your CLP-811/611 includes thirty built-in piano songs, together with demo songs for each of the different voices (one demo per voice). Let’s try playing some of these songs now. When playing piano songs you are free to turn off the left-hand or right-hand part so that you can practice along. You can also pick out a specific phrase for repetition-type practice.

Reset of playback tempo...

Selecting a different song for playback automatically resets the tempo (so that the new song will replay at its internal tempo setting). During continuous playback, the tempo automatically resets each time the song changes.

Next we will see how to switch off either the left-hand or right-hand part of a piano song so that you can practice the part yourself (one-hand practice). We will also see how to repeatedly play a single selected song phrase (to facilitate repetition-type practice).

CLP-811/611 Playing the Demos and Piano Songs

One-Hand Practice with Piano Songs

Each piano song has its left-hand and right-hand parts recorded on separate tracks: the right-hand part in Track [1], and the left-hand part in Track [2]. This makes it possible for you to switch off either part at any time. This feature is ideal for one-handed practice: just switch off one of the parts, then play the missing notes yourself in accompaniment with the other part.

Procedure

Switch off the part that you want to play by yourself.

After selecting a piano song as described above, simply press [1] or [2] to mute (switch off) the right or left part.

When you switch off the track, the indicator above the track button goes off. (When you first select the song, both indicators will be on.)

• You can toggle each part OFF and ON by pressing the track button as needed.

Start playback and begin practice.

Press [START/STOP] to begin playback. Play the muted part yourself, for practice.

Synchronous start

You can set up one-part playback so that it begins precisely when you strike the keyboard. To select this feature, hold down the track button that you have set ON (either [1] or [2]) and press [START/STOP]. This sets the instrument into SYNCHRO START mode. Playback of the selected part will then begin when you hit a key on the keyboard.

When you select SYNCHRO START, a corresponding marking appears at the center of the display.

Using the left pedal as a START/STOP switch.

You can set the left pedal to operate in the same way as the [START/ STOP] button, so that you can start and stop playback without using your

hands. Left-pedal operation is determined by function F9; see page 33 for details.

Selecting and Playing Voices

Your Clavinova offers you an excellent selection of great-sounding voices (11 voices on model CLP-611, 12 voices on model CLP-811). You can use the VARIATION, BRILLIANCE, REVERB, and EFFECT features to vary the sound and feel of each voice.

The Clavinova also allows you to mix any two voices together (“DUAL mode”), and to select different voices for the right and left ranges of the keyboard (“SPLIT mode”). A built-in metronome is also provided.

CLP-811/611 Selecting and Playing Voices

Using the Pedals

This section explains the use of the instrument’s three pedals.

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. While the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

This pedal sustains only those notes whose keys are being pressed when the pedal first goes down.

If you step down on the damper pedal here, the note already in play and the three subsequent notes will continue to sound after their keys are released.

Keys that you strike after the pedal is already down are not held. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while at the same time playing other notes staccato.

If you step down on the sostenuto pedal here, only the first note will be held.

Soft (Left) Pedal

This pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. The pedal has no affect on notes that are already playing when the pedal is first pressed.

Variable damper-pedal action...

The sustain length produced by the damper pedal varies according to how far you press the pedal down. The pedal is factory-set for 8-level action, but you can change this setting using function F11 (see page 34).

Changing the function of the left pedal...

You can switch the function of the left pedal so that it operates as a second [START/STOP] button rather than as a soft pedal. To change the operation, use function F9 (see page 33).

This feature allows you to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard, so that you can continue to play in a signature that you are comfortable with while at the same time “transposing” to match the key of a singer or of another instrument. You can set the transposition in semitone increments. If you set it to 5, for example, then each keyboard C will produce the sound of F, and any song played in key of C will be produced in key of F.
