Taking Care of Your Clavinova

Your Clavinova will give you years of playing pleasure if you observe the simple rules given below:

1

1. Avoid Humidity & Heat

Avoid placing the Clavinova in areas that are subject to excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.

2. Avoid Dust & Moisture

Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Power-off Before Connecting

Connections between the Clavinova and any other device must be made with both pieces of equipment turned off.

4. Handle With Care

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. Further, always turn the POWER switch off after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard.

5. Clean Carefully

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.

6. Never Tamper With the Internal Circuitry

Never open the Clavinova cabinet and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. Tampering with the circuitry can result in electrical shock!

7. Electric Interference

Since the Clavinova contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

8. Name Plate Location

The Clavinova name plate, including the unit’s serial number, is located on the bottom panel of the main unit.

9. Handling Floppy Disks

Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection and Style Disk are writeprotected, and therefore cannot be used to save songs. To save Performance Memory songs from the Performance Memory, a blank floppy disk should be used (one blank disk is supplied with the Clavinova).

Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks

■ Do NOT eject the disk during recording or playback, or at any time when the disk drive lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk and the FDD.

■ Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the disk is in the drive.

■ Always eject the disk before turning the Clavinova off.

■ When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:

nism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.

■ Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly damaging the disk or even the disk drive.

■ Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disk.

■ Use only double-sided double density (2DD) 3.5-inch floppy disks with the Clavinova.

Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk Use

■ Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.

■ Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field.

■ Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or sources of high temperature.

■ Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.

■ Avoid getting the disks wet.

■ Be sure to store the disks in environmental condi-

tions as specified below:

• Storage temperature: 4

• Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.

• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.

■ Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.

°

to 53°C (39° to 127°F).

Head Cleaning

The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as you use it eventually causing data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk (available from most computer supply stores).

Data Backup

It is recommended that you copy your recorded songs to another disk for backup (see page 46). If the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted, the backup disk can be used instead of the original.

Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)

Disk drive lamp

• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.

• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mecha-

MASTER VOLUME

The MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of sound

produced by the Clavinova. It also adjusts headphone volume when one or two pairs of headphones are plugged into the PHONES jacks.

Initially set the MASTER VOLUME control about half way between the

“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, adjust the control for the most comfortable listening level.

● Auto Accompaniment ............................................................................................................................

The CVP-89 features a powerful “3D System” amplifier featuring a single 50-watt channel and stereo 25-watt channels. This high-performance amplifier and speaker system puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The CVP-89 speaker system employs a single 18-cm speaker for center-channel low-frequency reproduction, and three speakers each per stereo channel: 13-centimeter speaker units for midrange sound, 2.5-cm units for outstanding high-frequency sound, and 8-cm units for player monitoring.

The Keyboard & Polyphony

The Clavinova has “32-note polyphony” which means you can normally play up to 32 notes at once.

This number varies, however, according to the functions being used, as shown in the chart below:

13

Keyboard only 32 notes. Keyboard + rhythm 24 notes (rhythm uses 8). Keyboard + ABC 12 notes (rhythm 8; ABC 12).

The following voices are STEREO:

• No.1 PIANO

• No.8 ORGAN

• No.28 FULL ORGAN

• No.34 PIANO BRIGHT

• No.35 PIANO SOFT

The following voices feature VELOCITY SWITCHING (i.e. they sound different when played soft or loud).

• No.3 E.PIANO

• No.11 ELEC BASS

Pan

● The number of available notes is further reduced if the dual

mode, the performance memory, or a Disk Orchestra Collection disk is being played at the same time.

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.

NOTES

• Some voices have greater polyphony than shown in the above chart. Further, some dual-mode and split-mode voice combinations provide 64note total polyphony (32 notes per voice).

• The damper pedal can also be used to increase the depth of a unique “Soundboard” effect for the PIANO voice (voice number 1). The maximum depth of the Soundboard effect can be set via the “Damper Pedal Mode” utility function (page 62).

■Center Pedal (Sostenuto 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 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.”

Pitch Control

Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1.2-cent or 1-hertz 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.

Auto Bass Chord (ABC)

The CVP-89 includes a sophisticated autoaccompaniment system (Auto Bass Chord — ABC) that can provide automated rhythm, bass and chord backing in a number of ways.

■Single-Finger & Fingered Accompaniment

This mode lets you create accompaniment in two ways.

“Single Finger” accompaniment makes it simple to produce accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minorseventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the ABC section of the keyboard. The automatic accompaniment consists of rhythm, bass and chords.

“Fingered” accompaniment is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.

Pressing any key on the ABC section of the keyboard (up to the split point — normally the F#2 key) will cause the automatic chord and bass accompaniment to begin (synchro start is automatically selected in the ABC mode). If you press a “C” key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the ABC section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e. “C” for a C chord). The name of the detected chord will appear on the display.

Single-finger minor, seventh, and minor-seventh chords can be played as follows:

• Diminished [dim]

• Minor major seventh flatted fifth [mM7(b5)]

● The [INTRO/ENDING], [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL], and [VARIA-

TION/FILL TO VARIATION] buttons can be used in the ABC mode to create

pattern variations in the same way that they are used with rhythm patterns (refer to the “Accompaniment” section on page 18, 19 for details).

“On-bass” chords can be produced by playing 5-note chords. the lowest note specifies the bass note while the upper 4 (or 3 if the 4-note chord is not recognized) specify the chord.

• The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not

change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged (press the [FULL

KEYBOARD] button so that its indicator lights) the Clavinova will automatically

create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although Full-keyboard ABC is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full-keyboard ABC mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

The Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode can be engaged by pressing the

[FULL KEYBOARD] and [SINGLE/FINGERED] buttons simultaneously (both indicators will light). In this mode the split point is de-activated and notes played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used to determine the harmonization of the accompaniment. In the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode, chord detection is possible when at least three notes are played anywhere on the keyboard. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display.

• 2-note fingerings are not recognized in the Conventional Full-keyboard ABC mode.

The RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS volume controls can be used to

adjust the volume of the corresponding accompaniment parts when using ABC. In general, CHORD 1 controls rhythmic chords while CHORD 2 controls more decora- tive chords (arpeggios, etc.). The volume of the keyboard can be independently controlled by using the BASS volume control while holding the [UTILITY] button.

• Some styles may not use all four parts: RHYTHM, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, and BASS.

■Special Modes

● Mute

Some accompaniment notes may be automatically muted if they interfere musically with what is being played by the right hand. This mute function can be enabled or disabled via the “ABC Auto Mute” function described on page 64. The mute function is normally enabled (default).

● Minor Harmonization When playing a 7th chord in a minor key, the ABC system will automatically shift

a 9th note down to the octave, and a 6th note to the 5th when the “Minor Harmonization” function described on page 64 is turned on. The default setting for this function is off.

The initial resolution for custom rhythm programming is 16th (for doublet-type

beats) or 12th notes (for triplet-type beats): “QUANTIZE ON” will appear on the display when the PROGRAM mode is engaged.
