Natural! These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard
instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and
other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s
advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic
Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a
truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of elec-
tric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very
sophisticated programming.

You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types.
1 Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button.
2 Turn the Harmony/Echo on by pressing the [I] (HARMONY/ECHO) button.
3 Call up the operation display by pressing the [J] (TYPE SELECT) button.
4 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.
The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect
applied.
Harmony Types
When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right-
hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord
section of the keyboard shown below.
Selecting the Harmony/Echo type
Harmony Types
These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand sec-
tion of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section
of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected
by the chord.)
Multi Assign Type
This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section
of the keyboard.
Echo Types
These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of
the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo.

Multi Assign Type
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the
keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turn
on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes
in the order you play.
Echo Types
When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the
note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the
[ACMP ON/OFF] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two
notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those
notes alternately.
5 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings.
The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.
[4 ▲▼]VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi
Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by
the Harmony/Echo effect.
[5 ▲▼] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected
in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill
effects.
[6 ▲▼] ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi
Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the har-
mony/echo notes will be sounded.
[7 ▲▼] CHORD NOTE
ONLY
This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.
When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note
(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord
played in the chord section of the keyboard.
[8 ▲▼]TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi
Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony
note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your
playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The
harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set
value).

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument
You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument—useful when you play the Clavinova along with other
instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices
and audio files.

[FUNCTION] [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE TAB [E][F] SCALE TUNE
2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale.
Preset Scale types
Pitch-Related Settings
EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each
half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in
music today.
PURE MAJOR, PURE
MINOR
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, espe-
cially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal
harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing.
PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a
series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this
tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for
some leads.
MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making
the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th
century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
WERCKMEISTER,
KIRNBERGER
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems,
which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean
scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique char-
acter. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven,
and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsi-
chord.
ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
The tuning of each note for the cur-
rently selected scale is shown.

SOUND Page
FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a
certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to
produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the
sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound
characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick
attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a
sustained piano tone.
VIBRATO
Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by
regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
[1 ▲▼] BRIGHT.
(Brightness)
Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the fil-
ter (see diagram). Higher values
result in a brighter sound.
[2 ▲▼] HARMO.
(Harmonic con-
tent)
Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance),
set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-
gram). Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.
[3 ▲▼]ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the
key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
[4 ▲▼] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly
lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[5 ▲▼] RELES.
(Release)
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is
released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[6 ▲▼] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a
more pronounced Vibrato.
[7 ▲▼] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
[8 ▲▼] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key
and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of
the Vibrato onset.

Chord Fingering Types
NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.”
SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh,
minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the
Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback.
The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used:
MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can
use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
FINGERED Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while
the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord
accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various
chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be
looked up using the Chord Tutor function on page 16.
FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the
Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play
“on bass” chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used
as the bass note.)
FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to
Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for
example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right,
or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes
can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord,
etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automati-
cally create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything,
anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about
specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to
work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with
this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less
than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously
played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is
available only for Style playback.

[1 ▲▼]STOP ACMP When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can
play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped,
and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—called “Stop
Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the
chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine
whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the
Stop Accompaniment status.
OFF
The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
STYLE
The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the
Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
FIXED
The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice,
regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to
“STYLE.”
NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded
regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data
will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “OFF”
or “FIXED.”

Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each section has eight separate
channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by
importing pattern data from other existing Styles.
You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also
be edited.
Realtime Recording This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See
page 23.
Step Recording This method lets you to enter each note individually. See page 26.
Style Assembly This method lets you create a composite Style by combining various patterns
from the internal preset Styles or Styles you have already created. See page 26.

NOTE You cannot select INTRO 4 and ENDING 4 sections directly via the panel operation.
Realtime Recording Characteristics—Loop Recording and Overdub Recording
Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also
done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two
measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop),
letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.
•Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
Rhythm Clear (page 25) and Delete (page 24).
For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated
many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new
material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the
rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before
recording.

9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.
Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop,
you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For
information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section
“Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” below.
NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1 ]–[8 ] buttons.

13
Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.
CAUTION
The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.
Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel
When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument
sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key
on the keyboard.
Rules when recording non-rhythm channels
Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A,
and B).
Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted
depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for
this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example
illustration above).
You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 31. Keep in
mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes
and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see
page 32.
NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used.

Step Recording
In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is
essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) with the exception of the points listed below:
In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed.
This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example,
if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to
the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.
Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed
in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display.
In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy,
or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System
Exclusive data cannot be entered.
For instructions on Step Recording, refer to pages 45–48. For information on the EDIT display (Event List

Editing the Rhythmic Feel
1 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the
data by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons.
1 GROOVE
This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing
(clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.
[1 ▲▼]/
[2 ▲▼]
ORIGINAL
BEAT
Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other
words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if
“12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
[3 ▲▼]/
[4 ▲▼]
BEAT CON-
VERTER
Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL
BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIG-
INAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all
8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A”
and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set
to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting.
[5 ▲▼]/
[6 ▲▼]
SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-
ing on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the speci-
fied ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will
selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create
a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of
swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pro-
nounced.
[7 ▲▼]/
[8 ▲▼]
FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected sec-
tion. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while
“HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered set-
tings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to
the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early
or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all
cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium
effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

Making Style File Format Settings
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into
a single unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format
and freely create your own Styles.
The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the
rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.
Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard.
Output
The CVP-509/505/503/501’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original SFF
with especially rich, expressive guitar parts.
NOTE The Style files created on the CVP-509/505/503/501 can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE.
1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu.
For details of the edit menu, see page 32.
Source Pattern settings—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 32)
The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your
performance. You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the
played chord will be converted. Here the “Source Chord” (page 32) can be set, allowing you to record
accompaniment channels.
Note Transposition settings—NTR and NTT (page 33)
This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to
be converted in response to chord changes.
Other settings—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 34)
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you
play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic
as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural
range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).

For details on editable parameters, see pages 32–35.
4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.
CAUTION
The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.
1 SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the
pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Chord Type of “M7”), is
automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the
Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default
CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly
selected chord type.
NOTE When NTR is set to “Root Fixed,” NTT is set to “Bypass” and NTT BASS is set to “OFF,” the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed
to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels.
NOTE This is not applied when NTR is set to GUITAR.

When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED
[3 ▲▼]/
[4 ▲▼]
NTR (Note
Transposition
Rule)
Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when con-
verted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the
list below.
[5 ▲▼]–
[7 ▲▼]
NTT (Note
Transposition
Table)
Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list
below.
[8 ▲▼] NTT BASS ON/
OFF
The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass
root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When
NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only the note
which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.
ROOT TRANS
(Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the interval
between notes is maintained. For example, the
notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3,
A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this
setting for channels that contain melody lines.
ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to the previ-
ous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and
G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when
they are transposed to F. Use this setting for chan-
nels that contain chord parts.
GUITAR This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are trans-
posed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering.
BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do
any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used
only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes.
MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such
as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.
CHORD Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord
2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts.
MELODIC MINOR
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a
semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sec-
tions which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
MELODIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table
lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the
chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted
sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use
this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor
chords, such as Intros and Endings.

DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound.
STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if
it is muted—this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by
stroke.
ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four
notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful.

LOW
These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to

1 QUANTIZE
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
of correcting for this.
[2 ▲▼]/
[3 ▲▼]
CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
[4 ▲▼]–
[6 ▲▼]
SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set
the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if
eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as
the Quantize size.
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at
the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth
notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight
eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you
use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and trip-
let notes will be quantized correctly.
[7 ▲▼]/
[8 ▲▼]
STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100%
produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be
moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified
percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some
of the “human” feel in the recording.

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands
that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to
correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high
frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.

3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button)
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be
boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a high-grade
three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively
“compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer.
MIC MUTE (selected by [C] or [H] button)

VOCODER
CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (page 81) is controlled by
note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the
song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to con-
trol the harmony.
MUTE/PLAY
When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is
muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback.
OFF/1–16
When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When
set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Clavi-
nova or external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding chan-
nel is used to control the harmony.

KBD (Keyboard):
OFF
Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER
Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER
Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
[4 ▲▼]BAL. (Balance) This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and
Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Har-
mony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L:
Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when
it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
[5 ▲▼] MODE (Vocal
Harmony mode)
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which pro-
duce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the
selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the
harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
AUTO
When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data
exists in the Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all
other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCOD (Vocoder)
The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard
and/or Song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is con-
trolled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (VOCODER
CONTROL parameter above).
CHORD (Chordal)
The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord:
chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP ON/
OFF] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the key-
board (with the [ACMP ON/OFF] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on),
and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not
available if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
[6 ▲▼] CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is
used for chord detection.
OFF
Chords are not detected from the Song data.
XF
Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16
Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel.

VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is
available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack.
SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the
pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you are using the right
pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter
allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the
damper effect starts working.
SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes
will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not
sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other
notes are played staccato.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if
this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces
the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only
for certain appropriate Voices. You can turn this pedal function on or off for
each keyboard part on this display. If you are using the right pedal or connected
foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify
how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working.
GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch
when the pedal is released. The following parameters can be set for this func-
tion on this display.
UP/DOWN
Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE
Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
ON SPEED
Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.
OFF SPEED
Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released.
LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2
Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part.
PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while
the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style
(i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento
time can also be adjusted form the Mixing Console display (page 71). This
function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appro-
priately with this function.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices and only some of the Super
Articulation Voices, even if this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
PITCHBEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This
function can be assigned to the right pedal or connected foot controller. The
following parameters can be set for this function on this display.
UP/DOWN
Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE
Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.

are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as a “UPPER” instead of
RIGHT 1 and 2 and the left-hand part is handled as a “LOWER.
Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and
controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a
computer/sequencer).
Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used
to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an
external sequencer.
Clock Ext. Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI
clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used
when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instru-
ment.
MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone
generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This
template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback
on the instrument with the left-hand buttons.
MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the
chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are rec-
ognized also as MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet
(especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets
you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI

MIDI System Settings
The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 89.
Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8
▲▼] buttons.
1 Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the
instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played
directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally
disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the
keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play
the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer
and/or play an external tone generator.
2 Clock setting, etc.
CLOCK
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received
from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone
or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external
sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this
parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external
device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly
transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB
2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than INTERNAL, the Style or Song cannot be played from the panel buttons.
TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is
transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received by the
instrument via MIDI.
START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback.
3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)

MIDI Transmit Settings
The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT Page in step 4 on page 89. This determines which parts will
be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.
1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the part for changing
transmit settings.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already
explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
UPPER
A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1 and/
or 2).
LOWER
A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not
affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
2 Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select a channel via which the selected part will be
transmitted.
NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel—resulting in unex-
pected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device.
NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted.
3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be sent.
The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display.

MIDI Receive Settings
The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on page 89. This determines which parts will
receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received.
1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the channel to be received.
The instrument can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection.
2 Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select the part via which the selected channel will be
received.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already
explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance.
EXTRA PART 1–5
There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not
used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by
using these five parts in addition to the parts (except for the microphone sound).
3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be received.
MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals
The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for
transmitting/receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows:

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 89. These settings let you determine the bass
note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at
the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will
be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are
simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel.
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to set the desired channel to ON or OFF.
You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button.
Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 89. These settings let you
determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off
messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style
playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless
of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the
chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.

S. Articulation2! (CVP-509) S.Articulation! (CVP-509/505) MegaVoice (CVP-509/505/503) See the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2. Natural! These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling. Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience. Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophisticated programming. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 3 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing! Live!Drums (CVP-509) These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling. Live!SFX (CVP-509) These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling. They give you a broader and more versatile range of Latin percussion than the normal drum Voices. Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 15 for details. Selecting GM/XG or Other Voices from the Panel The GM/XG Voices cannot be directly called up from the VOICE category selection buttons. However, they can be called up via panel operation by following the procedure below. 1 In the Main display, select a keyboard part to which you want to call up the desired Voice. 2 Press one of the VOICE category selection buttons to call up the Voice Selection display. 3 Press the [8 ▲] (UP) button to call up the Voice categories. 3 4 5 4 Press the [2 ▲] (P2) button to display Page 2. Press the desired [A]–[J] button to call up the Voice Selection display of GM/XG Voices, GM2 Voices, etc. NOTE (CVP-509/505) You can find the “Legacy” folder in this display. This folder contains previous Yamaha Clavinova Voices (such as CVP-409, 407 etc.) for data compatibility with other models. 6 4 Select the desired Voice. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Selecting the Harmony/Echo type You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types. Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button. Turn the Harmony/Echo on by pressing the [I] (HARMONY/ECHO) button. Call up the operation display by pressing the [J] (TYPE SELECT) button. Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type. The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied. 2 Harmony Types These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 2 3 4 Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the keyboard. Echo Types These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo. ■ Harmony Types When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the righthand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below. Split Point Split Point RIGHT 1 and 2 Voices LEFT Voice and chord section for Harmony effect Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point (for Style playback) Split Point (for the Voice) LEFT Voice Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect RIGHT 1 and 2 Voices CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 5 ■ Multi Assign Type The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turn on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play. ■ Echo Types When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately. 5 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 6 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings. The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type. [4 ▲▼] VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect. [5 ▲▼] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. [6 ▲▼] ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded. [7 ▲▼] CHORD NOTE ONLY This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard. [8 ▲▼] TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value). CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Pitch-Related Settings Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument—useful when you play the Clavinova along with other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices and audio files. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [E][F] MASTER TUNE 2 Use the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons to set the tuning in 0.2 Hz steps, from 414.8–466.8 Hz. Press the both 4 or 5’s [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously to reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz. 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Scale Tuning You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [E][F] SCALE TUNE 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale. The tuning of each note for the currently selected scale is shown. ■ Preset Scale types EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. PURE MAJOR, PURE MINOR These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing. PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. WERCKMEISTER, KIRNBERGER This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 7 3 2 Change the following settings as necessary. [2 ▲▼] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. [3 ▲▼]– [5 ▲▼] TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ▲▼] buttons and tune it in cents by using the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons. NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.) Voices – Playing the Keyboard – [6 ▲▼]/ [7 ▲▼] PART SELECT [8 ▲▼] MARK ON/OFF Select the part to which the Scale Tune setting is applied by using the [6 ▲▼]/[7 ▲▼] buttons. Then press the [8 ▲] button to add a checkmark or press the [8 ▼] button to remove the checkmark. NOTE To register the Scale Tune settings to the Registration Memory, be sure to checkmark the SCALE item in the REGISTRATION MEMORY CONTENTS dis- play. Changing the Part Assignment of the TRANSPOSE Buttons You can determine to which parts the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons are applied. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [E][F] KEYBOARD/PANEL 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select “2. TRANSPOSE ASSIGN.” 3 Press the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons to select the desired transpose type. KEYBOARD When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the pitch of keyboard played Voices and Style playback (controlled by the performance in the chord section of the keyboard)—but they do not affect Song playback. SONG When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect only the pitch of Song playback. MASTER When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the overall pitch of the instrument, except audio playback. You can confirm the setting here by viewing the pop-up window called up via the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons. 8 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Editing Voices (Voice Set) The instrument has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing Voices. Once you’ve created a Voice, you can save it as a User Voice to the USER drive or external devices for future recall. Select the desired Voice (other than an Organ Flutes Voice). The editing method is different for the ORGAN FLUTES Voices compared to other Voices. For instructions on editing the ORGAN FLUTES Voices, see page 15. 2 Press the [6 ▲] (VOICE SET) button to call up the VOICE SET display. 3 Use the TAB [E][F] buttons to call up the relevant setting display. For information on the available parameters in each display, see the “Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays” on page 10. 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 3 5 4 4 As necessary, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the item (parameter) to be edited and edit the Voice by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. By pressing the [D] (COMPARE) button, you can compare the sound of the edited Voice with the original (unedited) Voice. 5 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to save your edited Voice as a User Voice. CAUTION The settings will be lost if you select another Voice or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 9 Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The Voice Set parameters are organized into six different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. ■ PIANO Page This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 3) is selected. 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve. Select “FLAT” if you feel the tuning curve of the piano Voice does not quite match that of other instruments Voices. STRETCH: Tuning curve particularly for pianos. FLAT: Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the entire keyboard range. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] KEY OFF SAMPLE (CVP-509/505/503) Adjusts the volume of the key-off sound (the subtle sound that occurs when you release a key). [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] SUSTAIN SAMPLE (CVP-509/505/503) Adjusts the depth of sustain sampling for the damper pedal. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼] STRING RESONANCE (CVP-509) Adjusts the depth of string resonance. ■ COMMON Page [1 ▲▼] VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice. [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼] TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. TOUCH SENSE DEPTH TOUCH SENSE OFFSET Changes to velocity curve according to VelDepth (with Offset set to 64) Changes to velocity curve according to VelOffset (with Depth set to 64) Actual Velocity for tone generator Actual Velocity for tone generator Offset=96 (+64) Offset=127 (+127) Depth=127 (twice) 127 127 Depth=64 (normal) 64 Offset=64 (normal) 64 Depends on offset Depth=32 (half) Offset=32 (-64) Depth=0 0 64 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) 0 64 Depends on offset 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Offset=0 (-127) DEPTH Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity). OFFSET Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the actual velocity effect. 10 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual [4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. [6 ▲▼] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. [7 ▲▼] PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above. NOTE The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. ■ CONTROLLER Page 1 CENTER PEDAL 2 [1 ▲▼] FUNCTION Selects the function to be assigned to the center or left pedal. For details on the pedal functions, see page 86. [2▲▼]– [8▲▼] RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, LEFT, etc. Determines whether the assigned function is effective or not for the respective keyboard part. This also determines the depth for the function. For details, see page 86. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 2 LEFT PEDAL These allow you to select the function to be assigned to the center or left pedal. 3 MODULATION When a pedal function is assigned to MODULATION, the pedal can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters. [2 ▲▼] FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below. [3 ▲▼] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). [5 ▲▼] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. [6 ▲▼] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. [7 ▲▼] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 11 ■ SOUND Page FILTER Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. [1 ▲▼] BRIGHT. (Brightness) Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. [2 ▲▼] 2 HARMO. (Harmonic content) Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHT. above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Volume Resonance Frequency (pitch) EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. Level Sustain Level ATTACK Key on DECAY RELEASE Time Key off [3 ▲▼] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. [4 ▲▼] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. [5 ▲▼] RELES. (Release) Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. VIBRATO Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. Pitch SPEED DEPTH DELAY Time 12 [6 ▲▼] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. [7 ▲▼] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. [8 ▲▼] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual ■ EFFECT/EQ Page 1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH/VIB ROTOR [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] REVERB DEPTH Adjusts the reverb depth. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] CHORUS DEPTH Adjusts the chorus depth. [5 ▲▼] DSP ON/OFF Determines whether the DSP is on or off. [6 ▲▼] DSP DEPTH Adjusts the DSP depth. If you want to re-select the DSP type, you can do so in the “2 DSP” menu explained below. [7 ▲▼] VIBE ROTOR This will be displayed only if VIBE VIBRATE is selected for the DSP Type parameter explained below. Determines whether VIBE VIBRATE should be set to on or off when selecting the Voice. 2 [1 ▲▼]– [4 ▲▼] DSP TYPE Selects the DSP effect category and type. Select a type after selecting a category. [5 ▲▼]– [8 ▲▼] VARIATION Two variations are provided for each DSP type. Here, you can edit the VARIATION on/off status and variation’s parameter value setting. ON/OFF The factory-programmed assignments are set to variation-off for all Voices (standard variation of DSP is assigned). If you select VARIATION ON here, a variation of the DSP effect is assigned to the Voice. The variation parameter value can be adjusted in the VALUE menu explained below. PARAMETER Displays the variation parameter. (This differs depending on the effect type and cannot be changed.) VALUE Adjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter. [5 ▲▼] [6 ▲▼] –[8 ▲▼] Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 2 DSP 3 EQ Determines the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. For information about EQ, refer to page 74. ■ HARMONY Page Harmony sets the Right 1 and 2 parts together. Select the Right 1 part in the Main display, before you set it. This has the same settings as the display of “Selecting the Harmony/Echo type” page 5 in step 3. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 13 Disabling Automatic Selection of Voice Sets (Effects, etc.) Each Voice is linked to its default VOICE SET parameter settings. Usually these settings are automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained below. For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained below). 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [E] REGIST SEQUENCE/FREEZE/VOICE SET → TAB [E][F] VOICE SET 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select a keyboard part. 2 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 3 3 14 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to enable/disable automatic calling up of the settings (ON or OFF) independently for each parameter group. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Editing Organ Flutes Parameters The Organ Flute Voices selected from the [ORGAN FLUTES] button can be edited by adjusting the footage levers, adding the attack sound, applying effect and equalizer, etc. CAUTION After editing, go to the Voice Selection display by pressing the [I] (PRESETS) button and save the setting. The settings will be lost if you select another Voice or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. ■ FOOTAGE Page Refer to the Owner’s Manual, chapter 2. ■ VOLUME/ATTACK Page 2 [1 ▲▼] VOL (Volume) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. [2 ▲▼] RESP (Response) Affects both the attack and release (page 12) portion of the sound, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the slower the swell and release. [3 ▲▼] VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/ Off ([F]/[G] buttons) and Vibrato Depth ([H] button). [4 ▲▼] MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] 4’, 2 2/3’, 2’ These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE Voice. The 4’, 2-2/3’ and 2’ controls increase or reduce the volume of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume.

There are seven types of fingering. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [E][F] CHORD FINGERING 2 Press the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select a fingering. For information on each fingering type, see page 17. Chord Tutor If you know the name of a chord but don’t know how to play, you can have the instrument show you the notes to play. This is the Chord Tutor function. On the CHORD FINGERING display, specify the Chord Root and Chord Type by using the [6 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button. The notes you need to play are shown in the display. NOTE Depending on the chord, some notes may be omitted. 16 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Chord Fingering Types Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used: C C7 For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left. Cm 7 For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left. MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types. FINGERED Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the separate Data List booklet and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function on page 16. FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered mode, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.) FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – SINGLE FINGER NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 17 Style Playback Related Settings The instrument has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [E][F] STYLE SETTING 2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons for each setting. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – [1 ▲▼] STOP ACMP When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status. OFF The chord played in the chord section will not sound. STYLE The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style. FIXED The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “STYLE.” NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “OFF” or “FIXED.” 18 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual [2 ▲▼] OTS LINK TIMING This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.) REAL TIME One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION button. NEXT BAR One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIATION button. SYNCHRO STOP WINDOW This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works. [4 ▲▼] STYLE TOUCH Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of the keyboard. [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] SECTION SET Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “OFF” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up. [7 ▲▼] TEMPO This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – [3 ▲▼] HOLD The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. RESET The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style. [8 ▲▼] PART ON/OFF This determines whether the Style Channel On/Off status changes or not when you change Styles. HOLD The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained. RESET All Style Channels are set to On. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 19 Split Point Settings These are the settings (there are two Split Points) that separate the different sections of the keyboard: the Chord section, the LEFT part section and the RIGHT 1 and 2 section.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 21 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Sections Channels You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – • Realtime Recording This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See page 23. • Step Recording This method lets you to enter each note individually. See page 26. • Style Assembly This method lets you create a composite Style by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles or Styles you have already created. See page 26. Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [F] DIGITAL REC MENU → [B] STYLE CREATOR NOTE The Style files created on the CVP-509/505/503/501 can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE. There are six Pages (tabs) in the Style Creator display. 22 • BASIC Creates the basic settings of the Style. You can also record your performance in realtime to create a new Style (Realtime Recording). See page 23. • ASSEMBLY Mixes the various parts (channels) from preset Styles or already created Style to create a new Style. See page 26. • GROOVE Changes the rhythmic feel of your created Style. See page 28. • CHANNEL Edits data for each channel—quantizing, changing velocity, etc. See page 30. • PARAMETER Changes the settings related for Style File Format. See page 31. • EDIT Lets you enter notes one by one to create your Style (Step Recording). See page 26. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics—Loop Recording and Overdub Recording • Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. • Overdub Recording This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 25) and Delete (page 24). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording. When you want to create a Style based on an existing Style, select the desired Style to serve as the basis for recording/editing before call up the Style Creator display. 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [F] DIGITAL REC MENU → [B] STYLE CREATOR The BASIC Page is shown. 3 If you want to create a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button to delete all channel’s data. 4 Select the desired section (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) for your new Style. First close the RECORD display by pressing the [EXIT] button. Then use the [3 ▲▼]/[4 ▲▼] buttons to select the section to be recorded.

NOTE Preset Organ Flute Voice can be recorded to the RHY1 and BASS–PHR2 channels. 8 If necessary, delete a channel by simultaneously holding down the [J] (DELETE) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1 ▲]–[8 ▲]. You can cancel the deletion by pressing the same numbered button again before releasing your finger from the [J] button. NOTE When recording channels BASS–PHR2 based on the existing Style, you have to delete the original data before recording. 24 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” below. NOTE You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1 ▼]–[8 ▼] buttons. Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard. To continue recording with another channel, repeat steps 6 –9. 11 Stop recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. 12 Press the [EXIT] button to close the RECORD display. 13 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 10 3 CAUTION The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. Rules when recording non-rhythm channels • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). C R C C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 31. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 32. NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 25 Step Recording In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display. • Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display. • In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – For instructions on Step Recording, refer to pages 45–48.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 27 Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 3 2 1 1 3 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 1 GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style. 28 [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼] FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 2 DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. [6 ▲▼] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. [7 ▲▼] EXPAND/ COMP. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it. [8 ▲▼] BOOST/CUT Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it. 2 Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the edits for each display. After the operation is completed, this button changes to “UNDO,” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the Groove or Dynamics results.

By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page. Source Pattern settings—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 32) The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your performance. You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the played chord will be converted. Here the “Source Chord” (page 32) can be set, allowing you to record accompaniment channels. Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard. Note Transposition settings—NTR and NTT (page 33) This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 3 Other settings—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 34) Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). Output The CVP-509/505/503/501’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts. NOTE The Style files created on the CVP-509/505/503/501 can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE. 1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu.

CAUTION The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 1 SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Chord Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – When the Source Root is C: CM 6 CMaj CM 7 (#11) CM 7 C 7 (9) CM add9 C 6 (9) C C R C C R C R C R C R C C R Cm 7 (11) CmM 7 C C C C C C C R C C C C R R C C C C C C R C C C C 1+5 R C C 7 sus4 C C R C C C C C C C C C 7 (b13) C C C R C R C C7 C C C C R R C C C Cm 7 (9) C C C 7 (b9) C C R C C R C C R C R C Cm (9) R C R C 7 (13) C C R C C R Cdim 7 C C 1+8 C 7 aug C R C C C C R C Cdim C 7 (#11) C CM 7 aug C R C R C C C C Cm 7 b5 C C R C C R C C R C C CmM 7 (9) C C C C C R C Cm 7 C R C 7 (9) C R C C R C C R C C R C 7 b5 C R C Cm 6 C R C C R C C R Cm Caug C C C 7 (#9) R C C C C C C C R C C C R C C Csus 2 Csus 4 R C C C R C C C C C R C C C C R C R C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes NOTE When NTR is set to “Root Fixed,” NTT is set to “Bypass” and NTT BASS is set to “OFF,” the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels. NOTE This is not applied when NTR is set to GUITAR. 32 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 2 NTR/NTT [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] NTT (Note Transposition Table) Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. [8 ▲▼] NTT BASS ON/ OFF The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. NTR (Note Transposition Rule) ROOT FIXED GUITAR When the root note is transposed, the interval between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. 3 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – ROOT TRANS (Root Transpose) This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering. NTT (Note Transposition Table) When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes. MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. CHORD Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. MELODIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. MELODIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern. HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 33 3 HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – When NTR is set to GUITAR ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound. STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if it is muted—this is normal condition when the chord is played on guitar by stroke. ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table, four notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful. 3 HIGH KEY / NOTE LIMIT [4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 33) is set to “Root Trans.” Example—When the highest key is F. [6 ▲▼] NOTE LIMIT LOW [7 ▲▼] NOTE LIMIT HIGH Root changes CM C#M FM F#M Notes played C3-E3-G3 C#3-E#3-G#3 F3-A3-C4 F#2-A#2-C#3 These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to the Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the Voices sound as realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). Example—When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM C#M FM Notes played E3-G3-C4 E#3-G#3-C#4 F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit 34 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 4 RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. STOP The notes stop sounding. PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. RETRIGGER The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. RETRIGGER TO ROOT The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

CAUTION The recorded Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 54 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 1 QUANTIZE The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this. [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼] CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized. [4 ▲▼]– [6 ▲▼] SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. After 1/8 note quantization Settings: 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note triplet 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* 4 Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – 1/4 note The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording. Quarter-note length Original data (assuming 4/4 meter) Quantizing strength =100 Quantizing strength =50 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 55 2 DELETE You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song.

All MIDI events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. [4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] SOURCE 2 Determines the MIDI channel (1–16) to be mixed. Only note events of the channel specified here are copied to the destination channel. Besides the values 1–16, there is a “COPY” setting that allows you to copy the data from Source 1 to the destination channel. [6 ▲▼]/ [7 ▲▼] DESTINATION Determines the channel into which the mix or copy results will be placed. 4 CHANNEL TRANSPOSE This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of two octaves in semitone increments. NOTE Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels.

CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 79 ■ 3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button) EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. [1 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] Hz Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band. [2 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] dB Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. ■ NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button) This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass. [1 ▲▼] SW (Switch) This turns Noise Gate on or off. [2 ▲▼] TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – ■ COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button) This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. [3 ▲▼] SW (Switch) This turns Compressor on or off. [4 ▲▼] TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied. [5 ▲▼] RATIO This adjusts the compression ratio. [6 ▲▼] OUT Adjusts the final output level. ■ MIC MUTE (selected by [C] or [H] button) [8 ▲▼] MIC MUTE When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off. ■ MIC VOLUME (selected by [E] or [J] buttons) [8 ▲▼] MIC VOLUME Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound. ■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL (selected by [E] or [J] button) The following parameters determine how the Vocal Harmony is controlled. 10 [1 ▲▼]– [3 ▲▼] VOCODER CONTROL The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (page 81) is controlled by note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony. MUTE/PLAY When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback. OFF/1–16 When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Clavinova or external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. 80 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual KBD (Keyboard): OFF Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. UPPER Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony. LOWER Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony. [4 ▲▼] BAL. (Balance) This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output. [5 ▲▼] MODE (Vocal Harmony mode) All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – AUTO When the [ACMP ON/OFF] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. VOCOD (Vocoder) The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard and/or Song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (VOCODER CONTROL parameter above). CHORD (Chordal) The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP ON/ OFF] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP ON/OFF] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.) [6 ▲▼] CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is used for chord detection. OFF Chords are not detected from the Song data. XF Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony. 10 1–16 Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel. [7 ▲▼] VOCAL RANGE Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice. NORM. Normal setting. LOW Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling and shouting. HIGH Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone.

LEAD GENDER TYPE Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected type. When set to Off, three harmony notes are produced. Other settings produce two harmony notes. Off The gender of the harmony sound is not changed. Auto The gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically. Off No gender change occurs. Unison No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GENDER DEPTH on page 85. Male The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Female The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. 84 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available when the LEAD GENDER TYPE on page 84 is set to other than Off. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LEAD PITCH CORRECT This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE on page 84 is set to other than Off. When Smooth or Hard is selected, the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. UPPER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LOWER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE on page 84 is set to other than Off. VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE on page 84 is set to other than Off. VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay. HARMONY 1/2/3 VOLUME Sets the volume of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note. HARMONY 1/2/3 PAN Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – LEAD GENDER DEPTH Random The stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. This is effective when the Harmony mode (page 81) is set to “VOCODER” or “CHORDAL.” L63>R–C–L<R63 A setting of L63>R pans the sound hard left, while C is at center, and L<R63 is at hard right. HARMONY 1/2/3 DETUNE Detunes the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note by the specified number of cents. PITCH TO NOTE When this is set to “ON,” you can “play” the Voices of the instrument with your voice. (The instrument tracks the pitch of your voice and converts it to note data for the tone generator. Keep in mind, however, that dynamic changes in your voice do not affect the volume of the tone generator.) PITCH TO NOTE PART Determines which of the instrument parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the PITCH TO NOTE parameter above is “ON.” CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 10 85 Footswitch/Foot Controller Settings Assigning Specific Functions to Each Foot Pedal In addition to the footswitch or foot controller, the three piano pedals installed to the instrument (Right, Center and Left pedals) can also be assigned to various functions here. The following explanations cover the related operations and assignable functions (parameters). NOTE For information on how to connect a foot pedal or what kinds of pedals can be connected, refer to the Owner’s Manual, chapter 10. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [E][F] PEDAL 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select one of the three pedals or the AUX-connected pedal, to which the function is to be assigned. 2 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 5 6 3 3 4 Use the [1 ▲▼] buttons to select the function to be assigned to the pedal specified in step 2. For information on available parameters, see pages 86–89. NOTE You can also assign the other functions to the pedal—punch in/out of Song (page 52) and Registration Sequence (page 66). If you assign multiple func- tions to the pedal, the priority is: Punch in/out of Song → Registration Sequence → Functions assigned here. 4 Use the [2 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to set the details of the selected functions (the part for which the function is applied, etc.). The available parameters differ depending on the function selected in step 3. 5 When you have selected the left or center pedal in step 2, press the [H] (DEPEND ON R1 VOICE) button to turn this parameter OFF. This setting locks the pedal function so that it does not change automatically when you change the Right 1 Voice. 6 If necessary, set the polarity of the pedal by using the [I] button. Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument. For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation. 10 ■ Assignable Pedal Functions For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a footswitch. ARTICULATION 1/2 (CVP-509/505) 86 When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is available only for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack. SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you are using the right pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. If you are using the right pedal or connected foot controller, the “HALF PEDAL POINT” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working. GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals. UP/DOWN Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). RANGE Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. ON SPEED Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed. OFF SPEED Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released. LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part. PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted form the Mixing Console display (page 71). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. 10 NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals. PITCHBEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can be assigned to the right pedal or connected foot controller. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. UP/DOWN Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). RANGE Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 87 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 10 88 MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the S. Articulation Voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. MODULATION (ALT) (CVP-509/505) As a variation on MODULATION, the effects (waveform) can be switched on/ off by the pedal/footswitch.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as a “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the left-hand part is handled as a “LOWER.” Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer). Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer. Clock Ext. Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument. MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the left-hand buttons. MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events. MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit. MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit. MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received. 10 90 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual MIDI System Settings The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 89. Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 Local Control Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. 2 Clock setting, etc. ■ CLOCK Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display. NOTE If the Clock is set other than INTERNAL, the Style or Song cannot be played from the panel buttons. ■ TRANSMIT CLOCK Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back. 10 ■ RECEIVE TRANSPOSE Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received by the instrument via MIDI. ■ START/STOP Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback. 3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch) ■ SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off. ■ CHORD SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off. CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 91 MIDI Transmit Settings The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT Page in step 4 on page 89. This determines which parts will be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent. 1 The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). 1 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 2 3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the part for changing transmit settings. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. UPPER A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1 and/ or 2). LOWER A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button. 2 Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select a channel via which the selected part will be transmitted. NOTE If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel—resulting in unex- pected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device. NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted. 3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be sent. The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display. NOTE (Note events) ............................... page 59 10 CC (Control Change) ............................. page 59 PC (Program Change) ........................... page 59 PB (Pitch Bend) ...................................... page 59 AT (Aftertouch) ...................................... page 59 92 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual MIDI Receive Settings The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on page 89. This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received. 1 The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). 2 3 1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the channel to be received. The instrument can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection. 2 Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select the part via which the selected channel will be received. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 KEYBOARD The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance. EXTRA PART 1–5 There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the parts (except for the microphone sound). 3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be received. MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows: ● MIDI reception [MIDI IN] jack 10 ● MIDI transmission [USB TO HOST] jack [MIDI OUT] jack [USB TO HOST] jack Port handling USB1 USB2 Merge MIDI/USB1 01–16 USB2 01–16 MIDI/USB 01–16 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual 93 Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 89. These settings let you determine the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 1 2 Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices – 1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel. 2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to set the desired channel to ON or OFF. You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button. Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 89. These settings let you determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 10 The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above. 94 CVP-509/505/503/501 Reference Manual Utility – Making Global Settings – Contents CONFIG1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 95 CONFIG2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97 SCREEN OUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 98 MEDIA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 98 OWNER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 99 SYSTEM RESET . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 • Factory Reset—Restoring the Factory Programmed Settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 • Custom Reset—Saving and Recalling Your Original Settings as a Single File . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101 CONFIG1 Utility – Making Global Settings – Select the desired parameter: 1 Fade In/Out 2 Metronome 3 Parameter Lock 4 Tap 1 Fade In/Out These parameters determine the behavior when the Style or Song playback is faded in/out.
