IMPORTANT

Check Your Power Supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches

the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom

panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be

provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard

unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage

selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage

selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped.

To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to

rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage

appears next to the pointer on the panel.

CVP-700

CVP-109/107/105/700

• On the CVP-109/700, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal,

porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use

caution.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a

finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of

the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the

power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch

from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly

result in the instrument overheating.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro-

cess. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might re-

sult in damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■USING THE BENCH (if included)

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-

ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten

them periodically using the included tool.

■SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss

of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or

modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts.

If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and

have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill

into any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden

loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the

outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,

or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always

hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-

nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-

heating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be

used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off

the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the

volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the

volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening

level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme

cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the

day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the inter-

nal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,

radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect

proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-

tally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do

not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

• On the CVP-109/700, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not

wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s fin-

ish.

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the Clavinova panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.

Vocal Harmony (CVP-109/107/700)

Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal process-

ing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony

to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even

change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as

the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony

effects.

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback com-

patibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI

devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file

format, which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-

quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of

chord types. The Clavinova uses the SFF internally, reads

optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the

Custom Style feature.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which

guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play

accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer

from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly ex-

pands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with

greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect

capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the

Clavinova’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible

song files.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)

standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability

for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when

an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most com-

mon format used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is com-

patible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using

SMF Format 0.)

CVP-109/107/105/700

Features of the Clavinova

● Large, Easy-to-use LCD Display

The large LCD (together with the various panel buttons) provides comprehensive and easy-to-un-

derstand control of the Clavinova’s operations (page 16).

● Wealth of Rich, Realistic Voices

The Clavinova has a wide variety of authentic and dynamic voices, including 224 original voices

(195 voices on the CVP-105), 6 Organ Flute voices (CVP-109/107/700), 480 XG voices, and 13 drum/

SFX kits (12 kits on the CVP-105). These include exceptionally natural-sounding piano, strings and

brass voices, and the particularly expressive “sweet” wind voices (the CVP-105 has one sweet voice,

“SweetTrumpet”). Moreover, you can play realistic drum and percussion sounds directly from the key-

board (page 36).

● Playback of Song Disks

The Clavinova can play back various commercially available song disks. With the appropriate disk

software, you can play the piano part of the song yourself along with a full orchestra or backing band

(page 113). If the software contains lyrics, you can display them on the Clavinova’s LCD — on the

CVP-107, CVP-109 and CVP-700, you can even output them to a television screen via the VIDEO

OUT jack (page 215).

● Special Guide Functions for Easy Learning

With the appropriate disk software, the LCD display and guide lamps help you learn songs by

showing you when and where to play the proper notes. The three-step system helps you to master each

song quickly and easily (page 125).

● Fun, Dynamic Automatic Accompaniment

The Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova gives you full, exciting instrumental backing in your

favorite music styles, according to the chords you play (page 69). There’s even a wide selection of

“Pianist” styles that allow you to enjoy solo piano accompaniment (page 70). Choose from no less

than 170 accompaniment styles (the exact number of styles depends on the model), or create your own

custom styles (page 91).

● Easy Access to a Variety of Musical Enjoyment

The Clavinova offers several ways to change panel settings without a lot of fuss. You can use the

One Touch Setting feature to select from four sets of voice, effect, and other settings appropriate to

each accompaniment style (page 90). Or access the Music Database to choose from more than 400 sets

of style and voice settings, selectable by title or style (page 79). You can even save your current setup

for instant recall later using the handy Registration function (page 108).

● Easy-to-use Recording Features

You can record songs using a variety of methods, depending on your keyboard expertise and prefer-

ence. Choose from the Quick Recording, Track Recording, Chord Sequence Recording, and Step Edit

functions (page 130).

● Automatic Vocal Harmony Function (CVP-109/107/700)

The Clavinova’s unique Vocal Harmony feature employs advanced voice-processing technology to

automatically produce vocal harmony based on a lead vocal, allowing a single singer to sound like a

vocal group (page 175).

● Convenient TO HOST Terminals for Direct Connection to Computers

The Clavinova can be used as a high-quality sound source to play back music software for comput-

ers. It can also be used as a master keyboard, to enter performance data and create music with a com-

puter (page 216).

About This Manual

CVP-107/700

CVP-109/107/105/700

■ Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write

Head......................................................................................

● Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,

after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of

magnetic particles from the disks used that will even-

tually cause read and write errors.

● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-

available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the

head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer

about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

● Never open or close the key cover while a disk is

extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position).

The key cover may contact the disk, possibily dam-

aging the disk or even the disk drive.

● Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk

drive or floppy disks.

■ About the Floppy Disks...................................

To handle floppy disks with care:

● Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or

apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep

floppy disks in their protective cases when they are

not in use.

● Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely

high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust

or liquids.

● Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the ex-

posed surface of the floppy disk inside.

● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as

those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,

etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely

erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

● Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or

housing.

● Do not attach anything other than the provided labels

to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are at-

tached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the

disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

Data backup

For maximum data security Yamaha

recommends that you keep two copies of

important data on separate floppy disks.

This gives you a backup if one disk is lost

or damaged. To make a backup disk use

the Disk Copy function on page 196.

■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks .............

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing

upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards

the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly

pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the

eject button pops out.

Handling the Floppy Disk

Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

● Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with

care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

To eject a floppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the

FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off).

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk

will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected,

carefully remove it by hand.

DISK IN USE lamp

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can

damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject prop-

erly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed

position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only

a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull

out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this

situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the

floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try press-

ing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into

the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive

before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive

for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that

can cause data read and write errors.

You will refer to the LCD display frequently as you operate your

Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help

you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related

controls.

Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the

LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL

and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles,

which means they represent settings that can be changed.

Selecting a Function

Main display

Remember, the

main display

is the dis-

play that appears first when you turn the

power on.

Before you can change a function’s setting, however, you have to select it

first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indi-

cating that this function is currently selected.

Highlighted items

Selected items are

highlighted

(i.e., white

letters on a dark background).

To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly

below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the

leftmost LCD button.

LCD buttons

The five LCD buttons under the LCD

display represent different functions,

depending on the contents of the display.

Press to select.

CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation

Using the LCD Display Controls

CVP-107/700

CVP-109/107/105/700

There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the

main ways:

■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons.................................

Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the

data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD

VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–] button until it reads 0.

Changing a Setting

You can press the [–] and [+] buttons

repeatedly to change the value a little, or

hold them down to change it quickly.

The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to

0, you will find that the keyboard won’t produce any sound, no matter

how high you set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider!

Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD

VOL function.

■ Using the LCD buttons..................................................................................

You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the

corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your key-

board later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for

KBD VOL is back up to 127.

This is why you should release the LCD

button quickly when you select a func-

tion: you could end up raising its value

when you want to lower it!

Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can

learn about a couple of other ways to change settings.

Hold down to increase.

Using the LCD Display Controls

CVP-109/107/105/700

You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice

selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or

the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while

you’re at it…

Changing a Setting in a Menu Display

Voice

A voice is one of the sounds

the Clavinova uses to make

music.

The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking

for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use

a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now.

When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a two-column

menu listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of

piano voices.

PIANO

E. PIANO GUITAR

SYNTHE-

SIZER

■ Using the ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons.......................................................................

This display has one function, VOICE, that corresponds to two LCD buttons

labeled ▲ and ▼. You can use these buttons to select a different piano voice, much

as you would use the [–] and [+] buttons.

■ Using the left and right LCD buttons............................................................

You may have noticed that each item in the menu corresponds to one of the but-

tons to the left and right of the LCD. You can press one of these buttons to select

the corresponding menu item directly — which is much quicker than using the ▲

and ▼ buttons.

Left and right LCD buttons

The buttons to the left and right

of the LCD are referred to as

the left and right LCD buttons.

As you can see, the menu display lets you select voices using any of a

number of controls: the two rightmost LCD buttons, any of the left and right

LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons. Try selecting different

piano voices in this display before you move on.

Using the LCD Display Controls

Refer to page 31 for more

details about selecting voices.

Use any of the shaded controls to select a voice.

CVP-109/107/105/700

After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to

restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of

the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button.

Resetting a Function’s Value

Basic settings

• The functions of the Clavinova are set

to certain standard values or standard

conditions when the instrument is

shipped. These settings and conditions

are called the basic settings.

• A function’s basic settings are gener-

ally noted in the sidebar together with

the possible settings for that function.

• You can also use the Recall function

(page 207) to restore basic settings at

any time.

This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You

can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard.

MIXER FUNCTIO N

MASTER

EQUALIZER

SON G

Refer to page 188 for details on the

TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions.

The TUNE function in this display has ▼ and ▲ LCD buttons like the

ones you used in the VOICE SELECT display. You can use these buttons to

tune the keyboard up or down. Press and hold the ▼ button (or use the data

dial or the [–] button) to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go.

If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite

a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the keyboard to the standard

440.0 Hz. You could use the ▲ button (or the data dial, or the [

] button) to

return the value to its basic setting — but there’s an easier way:

When a function has a basic setting, you can reset it to that value by

pressing both the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or both the [–] and [+] buttons) si-

multaneously. Try doing this now.

There are some functions whose settings

cannot be returned to the basic value by

pressing the

▲

and

▼

buttons (or [–] and

[+] buttons) simultaneously.

When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the

next operation.

Using the LCD Display Controls

CVP-109/107/105/700

Whereas the ▲ and ▼ buttons of the VOICE function you used in the

VOICE SELECT display change the menu selection, those of the TUNE

function do not. The menu items in the FUNCTION display are not related

to the TUNE function; instead, they represent different FUNCTION display

pages. If you look again at the top of the display, you’ll see that you’re look-

ing at a display named FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1], and it’s apparently

the first of many function displays.

Displaying a Different Page

Display pages

Some displays are divided into two or

more pages, indicated by a series of

overlapping boxes in the upper right

corner of the display. The number in the

topmost box is the number of the current

display page.

Remember that you can always select menu items using the left and right

LCD buttons. Press the left LCD button that corresponds to PEDAL in the

menu.

This button displays the FUNCTION [PEDAL] page, which you can use

to adjust the operation of your Clavinova’s pedals. But wait — the box in

the upper right corner says this is page 3! We seem to have skipped right

past page 2…

When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to

change pages. Try pressing the [<] button now to see page 2.

Page 2 is FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2], another page of keyboard set-

tings. You can use the page buttons to select different pages of multi-page

displays, not only in FUNCTION mode, but also in certain VOICE SELECT

and STYLE SELECT displays. But don’t change the page yet: we’re going

to use page 2 to discuss the next operation.

Using the LCD Display Controls

Refer to page 190 for details about the

functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL]

display page.

PAG E

CVP-109/107/105/700

In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this

display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal

rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be

selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting

directly without selecting the function.

By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can

set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in

the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD

— but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected.

Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles

For more details on the KEY TOUCH

function, refer to page 189.

The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus,

effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is se-

lected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the

highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still,

FIXED VELOCITY remains selected.

For more details on the VOICE SETTING

function, refer to page 189.

There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded

rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode

(see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is

that you don’t select them, you execute them.

Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the

KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and

AUTO, respectively.

To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button.

Exiting to the Main Display

You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to

the main display. In some cases, how-

ever, this button will return you to a previ-

ous setting display instead. When this

happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get

you back to the main display.

The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you

selected in the VOICE SELECT [PIANO] display.

EXIT DIRECT ACCES

Using the LCD Display Controls

The FIXED VELOCITY function is de-

scribed on page 189.

CVP-109/107/105/700

EXIT DIRECT ACCESS

Using the LCD Display Controls

The last function we need to discuss is Direct Access. The [DIRECT AC-

CESS] button lets you jump directly to pages with particularly useful settings.

When you press [DIRECT ACCESS], the “Press a button to display

corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD display.

Using the Direct Access Function

This message will remain onscreen for about three seconds. Press the

button corresponding to the settings you want to display before the mes-

sage disappears.

Here is a list of pages you can access with Direct Access:

You can also press an appropriate button

while holding down the [DIRECT AC-

CESS] button.

● A Word about Messages

For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct

Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or in-

form you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the

instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 221.

● Saving Your Changes

Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it

will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you

need to tell it which settings you want it to remember.

By default, the Clavinova will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which

settings you want to remember:

• You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 108). Once you have registered your

settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons.

•

You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these settings

The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume

and the accompaniment or song playback volume. There are also

settings that you can use to adjust the keyboard volume and the

volume of each part of the automatic accompaniment or song.

Adjusting the Overall Volume

Use the [MASTER VOLUME]

slider to set the overall volume of

the Clavinova.

• The [MASTER VOLUME] slider also

determines the output level of the

signal at the [PHONES] jack.

• Signals input to the AUX IN jacks are

also affected by the [MASTER VOL-

UME] setting; however, signals output

via the AUX OUT jacks are not.

Use the [ACMP/SONG VOL-

UME] slider to set the playback

volume of the automatic accompa-

niment and songs.

Adjusting the Accompaniment or Song Volume

This control has no effect on the volume

of your keyboard performance.

Select KBD VOL in the main

display, then use the data dial or

the [–] and [+] buttons to change

the keyboard volume.

➔ The new value is shown in the GAIN section of the display.

Since the value can be changed during playback, you can adjust the

settings while listening to the changes in the sound.

When you change a gain value, an asterisk (*) will appear near the

name of the selected equalizer setup to indicate that the settings have

been changed. By default, these settings will not be retained when the

power is turned off. If you want the Clavinova to retain your settings

while the power is off, you can turn on the BACKUP function for the

VOICE SETTING parameter group (page 206).

When equalizer setting values are contained in the song data, or when the

equalizer setting data is received via MIDI, the current settings in the MAS-

TER EQUALIZER display will be overridden by the settings of the song

data or MIDI data. Set EQ LOCK to ON to prevent reception of this data, or

Using the Pedals

The Clavinova has three pedals.

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION]

and [XG] groups may not be affected

by use of the damper pedal.

• Some voices may sound continuously

or have a long decay after the notes

have been released while the damper

pedal is held.

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto

pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as

the pedal is held, but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained.

This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes

are played staccato.

• Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION]

and [XG] groups may not be affected

by use of the sostenuto pedal.

• Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or

[BRASS], sustain continuously when

the sostenuto pedal is pressed.

The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an

actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after

releasing the keys. On the CVP-109/107/700, you can also set the damper

pedal to bend the pitch of notes up or down using the RIGHT PEDAL func-

tion (page 191).

Damper Pedal (Right)

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

the notes you play.

You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for exam-

ple, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to

play Fill Ins. See page 190 for details.

The effect of the soft pedal may differ

slightly depending on the selected voice.

CHAPTER 4: Reverb and Other

Reverb

Reverb ON/OFF

Basic setting: Depends on voice.

➔ The lamp lights, and the reverb icon “ ” appears in the main display,

followed by the name of the currently selected reverb type.

The setting of the [REVERB] button has

no effect on song mode or Auto Accom-

paniment playback, or on audio signals

input via a microphone (CVP-109/107/

700).

Current reverb type

To turn the reverb off, press [REVERB] again.

➔ The lamp turns off, and the reverb icon and reverb type are no

longer displayed.

Because the basic setting of the [REVERB] button depends on the

voice, the reverb may turn on or off automatically when you select a dif-

ferent voice.

To apply reverb to the keyboard part(s), press the [REVERB] button.

Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a performance space —

anything from a room in a jazz club to a concert hall. The Clavinova lets you choose

from a variety of reverb effects; the CVP-109 gives you the additional option of using

the high-quality Natural Reverb — effects of a caliber normally employed in profes-

sional recording studios. Of course, you can set the depth of any reverb effect to your

preference. With the CVP-109/107/700, you can also apply reverb effects to the signal

from the microphone using the Vocal Harmony settings (see page 177).

Because the basic settings of the LEFT, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2 func-

tions depend on the voices selected, a reverb depth setting may

■ Setting the Reverb Depth for Each Part....................................

The settings in the REVERB DEPTH display (page 47) let you set the

reverb depth separately for the rhythm and accompaniment parts, as well

as the parts you play from the keyboard.

Chorus

The Clavinova’s chorus effects let you modify the voices you play from the keyboard,

adding warmth for an even richer sound. Flanger effects add pronounced modulation,

for a spacy futuristic quality. You can choose from a variety of chorus and flanger

effects, and set the depth of the effect added to each keyboard voice. With the CVP-

109/107/700, you can also apply the selected chorus effect to the signal from the

microphone using the Vocal Harmony settings (see page 178).

To apply chorus to the keyboard part(s), press the [CHORUS] button.

Voice Effects (CVP-109/107/700)

The Clavinova has a variety of effects besides reverb and chorus that you can use to

enhance the sound of the voices or create wild, special effects. The CVP-109/107/700

features two complete effect systems, which you can apply individually to any of the

voices you play from the keyboard. You can adjust the depth of the effects as desired.

The CVP-109/107/700 also applies an independent effect to the signal from the

microphone; settings for this effect system can be made in the VOCAL HARMONY

display (page 179).

You can use the [EFFECT] button to turn effects on or off for the

keyboard parts.

ZSelect a part in the main display.....................................................

If the lamp lights but the sound of the voice does not change, the effect

depth may have been set to 0. Check the effect depth settings (page 57).

• The setting of the [EFFECT] button

has no effect on song mode or Auto

Accompaniment playback, or on audio

signals input via a microphone (CVP-

• When an effect system is used by a

the keyboard part(s) when that song is

selected for playback. If you press

[EFFECT] to apply an effect to the

keyboard part(s) after selecting the

song, the effect will not be applied to

the song.

To turn an effect off, select the part that uses that effect in the main

display and press [EFFECT] again.

➔ The lamp turns off, and the effect icon and effect type are no

longer displayed.

Because the basic setting of the [EFFECT] button depends on the

voice, the effect(s) may turn on or off automatically when you select a

■ Varying the Effect.............................................................................................

Each of the Clavinova’s effect types has a variation that can be se-

lected using the VARIATION functions in the EFFECT 1 and EFFECT

2 displays (page 55). To vary the effect produced by the effect type se-

lected for an effect system, display the EFFECT page for that system,

then press the LCD button under VARIATION.

➔ The value displayed by the VARIATION function switches be-

tween OFF and ON, and the effect changes.

the table on page 219). Also, because the basic setting of the VARIA-

TION function depends on the voice, the setting of this function may

change automatically when you select a different voice.

settings (R1, R2, LEFT, and OFF) in turn.

Since the changing the value of the PART function means the effect

will probably be applied to a different voice, the effect type (page 56)

and effect depth (see below) may also change automatically to match the

voice that is currently selected for the chosen part.

■ Setting the Effect Depth.............................................................................

The DEPTH function in each of the EFFECT pages lets you adjust the

depth of the currently selected effect type. To set the depth of the effect

produced by an effect system, select DEPTH in the appropriate EFFECT

page, then and use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to change the value.

DEPTH

• Range: 0 (no effect) - 127 (max.)

• Basic setting: Depends on voice.

➔ The DEPTH value changes.

You can also advance the value by holding down the DEPTH button.

To reset the value to its basic setting, simultaneously press the [–] and

[+] buttons.

Since the basic setting of the DEPTH function depends on the voice

selected for the part affected by the effect system in question, the effect

depth may change automatically when you select a different voice.

■ Setting the Affected Part .................................................................................

You can use the PART function in each EFFECT display to select the key-

board part that is to be affected by the corresponding effect system. To change

the part affected by one of the effect systems, display the EFFECT page for

that system, then press the LCD button under PART.

Voice Effects (CVP-109/107/700)

When neither effect system has been

assigned to the keyboard part that is

currently selected in the main display, the

A “fill-in pattern” is a embellishment of the

basic rhythm, usually played at the end of

a musical phrase as an exciting transition

into the next segment.

If you select a different style variation while the style is playing, the

the style or play a special fill-in pattern by

setting the LEFT PEDAL function (page

190) to BREAK or BREAK FIL.

➔ The button’s lamp flashes as the Clavinova plays the fill-in pattern.

Generally speaking, the Clavinova will start the fill-in pattern soon

after you press the button. If you select a variation after the last eighth

note of a measure, however, it will begin the fill-in pattern from the start

of the next measure.

➔ When the fill-in pattern is finished, the button’s lamp lights steadily

as the Clavinova plays the main pattern.

The auto fill-in feature provides an exciting transition as you switch

from one variation to another. If Main A is playing and you press [MAIN

B], for example, the Clavinova will play Fill-in B, then start playing

Main B.

You can also play fill-in patterns without

selecting a different variation. Just press

the button for the variation that is playing.

The Clavinova will play the fill-in for that

variation, then return to the main pattern.

■ More Fun With Fill-ins....................................................................................

● Changing the Fill-in

It is possible to switch variations while a fill-in pattern is playing. The

Clavinova will switch to the fill-in pattern for the new variation, then

continue with the new main pattern as usual.

● Repeating the Fill-in

If you hold down the flashing button, or press it after the last eighth

note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the fill-in pat-

tern will be repeated.

● Canceling the Fill-in

If you press the flashing button earlier than the last eighth note of the

measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the Clavinova will stop

playing the fill-in pattern and continue with the main pattern.

Starting the Accompaniment Style

There are several ways to start the accompaniment style, as described

below:

■ Standard Start.........................................................................................................

This is the simplest way to start a style. If necessary, select a variation

as described on page 63, then press the [START/STOP] button.

Using the Pedals

You can also use the left pedal to start

and stop the style by setting the LEFT

PEDAL function (page 190) to START/

STOP.

➔ The lamp lights and the style starts.

Beat Indicator

During style playback, the leftmost beat

lamp (red) flashes on the first beat of

each measure, and the other lamps

(green) flash for each successive beat.

This function lets you set the tempo and start the style in one opera-

tion.

If necessary, select a variation as described on page 63, then tap the

[TAP] button at the desired tempo. Tap four times for 2- and 4-beat

styles, three times for 3-beat styles, and five times for 5-beat styles.

The Clavinova includes a sophisticated Auto Accompaniment

system that can provide automated rhythm, bass and chord

backing for your performance in 157 different styles (147 styles

on the CVP-107/700; 135 on the CVP-105), as well as 35

different types of piano-only accompaniment.

The Auto Accompaniment playback data is normally not output by the

MIDI [OUT] terminal. To send the Auto Accompaniment data to another

MIDI instrument, use the ACMP&RHY and HARMONY functions in the

FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display described on page 205.

You can use one of several methods to indicate the chords that are to

be played by the Auto Accompaniment. Choose the accompaniment

mode that best suits your playing style.

Using the Auto Accompaniment

Detailed explanations of each accompa-

niment mode are given on pages 72 and

73.

● Single Finger

The Single Finger method makes it easy to obtain accompaniment in

major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords by pressing certain keys

(according to simple rules) to the left of the split point indicated by the

keyboard guide lamp. (See page 72.)

● Multi Finger

When you select the Multi Finger mode, you can use either the Single

Finger method or the Fingered 1 method to indicate chords for the ac-

companiment. (See page 72.)

● Fingered 1

The Fingered 1 method lets you control the Auto Accompaniment by

playing full chords to the left of the split point. (See page 72.)

● Fingered 2

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered 1 mode, with

the exception that the lowest note played to the left of the split point is

used as the bass root (in Fingered 1 mode, the root of the chord is always

used as the bass root). Hence, you can select this mode to play “on bass”

or “fraction” chords. (See page 73.)

● Full Keyboard

The Full Keyboard mode automatically produces appropriate auto-

matic accompaniment for virtually anything you play, anywhere on the

keyboard. (See page 73.)

Starting the Auto Accompaniment

Pianist styles

You can play the PIANIST styles and

Guitar Waltz in the TRAD/WALTZ style

group with the Auto Accompaniment

(page 61). Since these styles do not

contain drum parts, you’ll have to indicate

a chord as you start the style to hear the

accompaniment.

Select the desired style. (See page 61.)

X Set the tempo and accompaniment volume.......................

Use the TEMPO buttons to adjust the tempo (page 27), and the

[ACMP/SONG VOLUME] slider to adjust the volume of the accompa-

niment parts (page 23).

C Turn on the Auto Accompaniment. ...............................................

• The Auto Accompaniment will auto-

matically turn on when you select a

style in the Pianist style group.

• The Auto Accompaniment can also be

turned on during playback of song data

recorded on the CVP-109/107/105/

Accompaniment Modes

• The Clavinova displays the names of

the chords you play at the left edge of

the main display, below the measure

number.

• The same accompaniment continues

(even after you release the chord in

the left range) until you play the next

chord.

■ Single Finger Chords

The following four chord types can be played in Single Finger mode:

The illustration below shows the key

corresponding to each root note.

• Major

Press the root note of the chord.

• Minor [m]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

black key to the left of it.

• Seventh [7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

white key to the left of it.

• Minor Seventh [m7]

Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any

white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once).

Two-note fingerings will produce a chord

based on the previously played chord.

● Fingered 1

To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range

of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in

the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment.

• The automatic accompaniment will

sometimes not change when related

chords are played in sequence (e.g.

some minor chords followed by the

minor seventh).

• If the Clavinova cannot recognize a

chord you play, an asterisk “ * ” will

appear instead of the chord name in

the display.

• Drums-only accompaniment can be

produced by pressing any three con-

secutive keys (e.g., C, C

, D) simulta-

neously. This lets you create dynamic

“drum breaks” in the accompaniment.

A series of dashes “- - -” will appear

instead of a chord name in the display.

● Multi Finger

This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using

either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1

method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or

minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black

key nearest the root note of the chord.

Playing with the Auto Accompaniment

● Single Finger

To control the Auto Accompaniment, press one, two, or three keys in

the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point), fol-

lowing the rules described below. Play the melody in the right range

you play in the will be used as the bass root, as shown at right.

■ Chords in Fingered 2 mode

The Clavinova will recognize the same chord types as listed above for

Fingered 1 mode.

● Full Keyboard

When the Full Keyboard mode is selected, the Clavinova will auto-

matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about

anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You don’t have to

worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the de-

tected chord will appear in the display.

• Although Full Keyboard mode is

designed to work with many types of

music, some arrangements may not

be suitable for use with this feature.

• Chord detection occurs at approxi-

mately 8th-note intervals. Extremely

short chords — less than an 8th note

in length — may not be detected.

Keep in mind…

Adjusting Individual Part Levels

• The overall accompaniment playback

volume can be adjusted using the

[ACMP/SONG VOLUME] slider.

• By adjusting the volume balance of the

various parts, or setting the volume of

some parts to 0, you can create varia-

tions on the basic style accompani-

ment.

• Some styles may not use all five ac-

companiment parts.

• You can also adjust the level of reverb

that is applied to the Auto Accompani-

ment parts. See page 50 for details.

The volume settings for the five accompaniment parts can be adjusted

individually in the MIXER display page.

Part volume relationships

• The volume level of each Auto Accom-

paniment part is relative to the [ACMP/

SONG VOLUME] setting.

• The [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] setting

is relative to the [MASTER VOLUME]

setting.

Z Press the [MIXER] button........................................................................

➔ The lamp lights, and the MIXER page appears.

X Select a part...........................................................................................................

Press the LCD button for the part whose level you want to set.

RHYTHM

This part forms the basis of the accompaniment. The Rhythm

part usually plays one of the drum kits.

BASS

The Bass part uses voices appropriate to each style, including

acoustic bass and synth bass.

CHORD

The Chord part provides appropriate rhythmic chordal accompa-

niment for each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal

instruments here.

PAD

The Pad part plays long chords where necessary, using sus-

tained instruments such as strings, organ, and choir.

PHRASE

The Phrase part is used for embellishments such as punchy

Other Auto Accompaniment Functions

At times you may find it difficult to control the Auto Accompaniment

while playing a complicated piece of music that requires your full atten-

tion on the keyboard. The Accompaniment Assistance function lets you

program chord and pattern changes in advance, so that the Auto Accom-

paniment will play itself, letting you concentrate on playing the keyboard

parts.

■ Setting Up the Accompaniment Assistance..................

Use the following procedure to create Accompaniment Assistance

data before you begin your performance:

Z Open the ACMP ASSIST display.

Accompaniment Assistance

• If the Clavinova’s memory contains

Accompaniment Assistance data, it will

be displayed in the ACMP ASSIST

display.

• The [ACMP ON] lamp will not light

when you load Accompaniment Assist-

ance data that includes an “accompa-

niment off” event (page 84). If you wish

to add chords to the loaded data, you

must first change this to an “accompa-

niment on” event. To do so, move the

cursor to the top of the first measure

as described in step 2 (page 82), press

[ACMP ON] to light the lamp, then

press SET. (See the sidebar on page

86 for details regarding the use of

“accompaniment off” events in Accom-

paniment Assistance playback.)

Press [DIRECT ACCESS], then [ACMP ASSIST].

B Turn off the Music Database................................................................

When you’re done using the Music Database setup, press the [MU-

SIC DATABASE] button again.

➔ The [MUSIC DATABASE] lamp turns off, and the panel settings

you were using before you accessed the Music Database are re-

stored.

8th-note triplet. For other time signa-

tures, one chord can be entered for

each measure.

To enter a chord, play the chord with appropriate fingering in the left

range of the keyboard (lower than the split point).

➔ The name of the chord you play appears in the box below the

measure bars, as well as in the ROOT and TYPE functions.

You can also select the ROOT and TYPE buttons, then use the data

dial or [–] and [+] buttons to manually set the chord root and type.

V Enter a style change, if desired.

• Intro patterns can only be entered at

the beginning of a song.

• Style changes, variation changes, and

ending patterns can only be entered at

the beginning of a measure.

• Fill-in patterns can be entered any-

where in the measure. (The “break fill”

pattern triggered by the left pedal

(page 190) cannot be entered using

the Accompaniment Assistance func-

tion, however.)

• A fade-out cannot be entered during a

fade-in.

• You can also use an original style

created using the Custom Style func-

tion (page 91). Only one custom style

can be included in a given set of Ac-

companiment Assistance data.

To add a fill-in pattern at any point in a measure, press the button cor-

responding to the desired fill-in pattern as usual (see page 63).

To change the style variation at the start of a measure without playing

a fill-in pattern, press the button twice.

To change the style at the start of a measure, simply select a new style

in the usual manner (see page 61).

X Move the cursor to the entry point.

• When you first open the ACMP AS-

SIST display, the current AUTO AC-

COMPANIMENT panel settings are

entered at the top of the first measure.

This data is represented as a thick line

segment with no chord (i.e., a series of

dashes).

• You may want to change the data in

the initial segment, setting a chord and

perhaps adding an intro pattern or

fade-in (page 66), before you move the

cursor to another entry point.

The display shows each measure as a horizontal line with 8th-note

divisions. The number of each measure is shown to the left of the

■ Advanced Accompaniment Assistance...................................

Here are some other things you can do with Accompaniment Assist-

ance data.

● Changing Part Volumes

You can program volume changes for the Auto Accompaniment parts.

Used judiciously, these can help you create professional-sounding dy-

namic changes in your performance. To do this, press the [MIXER] but-

ton and change the part volume settings as desired, then press [EXIT] to

return to the ACMP ASSIST display. The volume event symbol (which

looks like a speaker) should now appear in the box in the middle of the

display. Press the SET button to set the volume change as entered.

An initial volume event is automatically

entered at the top of the first measure,

based on the current part volume settings

when the ACMP ASSIST display is first

opened.

● Changing the Tempo

You can also program tempo changes in the middle of a performance.

Simply position the cursor at the point where you want the tempo to

change, then use the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons to select the new

tempo. The new tempo is displayed in the box in the middle of the

ACMP ASSIST display. Press the SET button to set the tempo change as

entered.

An initial tempo event is automatically

entered at the top of the first measure,

based on the current tempo settings

when the ACMP ASSIST display is first

opened.

● Entering a Rhythm Break

You can have Accompaniment Assistance play the rhythm part alone

(without other accompaniment) as a transitional “rhythm break.” To do

this, you must record a “no chord” event at the beginning of the break.

Press any three adjacent keys (two white keys and a black key, or vice

versa) in the left range of the keyboard when using the Fingered 1 or

Fingered 2 mode, or select TYPE and use the data dial or [–] and [+]

buttons to display a series of dashes (- - -) as the setting for that function.

Then press the SET button to register the break.

● Entering an Accompaniment Break

A complete break can be useful if you want to play the keyboard part

solo. To create an accompaniment break, set a “no chord” event as de-

scribed above, and turn the rhythm off as described on the next page.

● Entering an “Accompaniment Off” Event

When you first open the ACMP ASSIST display to create new Ac-

companiment Assistance data, an “accompaniment on” event is regis-

tered at the top of the first measure. You can enter an “accompaniment

off” event by moving the cursor to the top of the first measure, pressing

the [ACMP ON] button so the lamp turns off, and pressing the SET but-

ton. See the sidebar on page 86 for details regarding the use of “accom-

paniment off” events in Accompaniment Assistance playback.

Other Auto Accompaniment Functions

CVP-109/107/105/700

■ Other Accompaniment Assistance Functions..................

Page 2 of the ACMP ASSIST display contains some useful functions

that help you to enter Accompaniment Assistance data more efficiently.

● ALL DELETE function

To delete all of the Accompaniment Assistance data and start from

scratch, press the ALL DELETE button. An “Are you sure?” message

is displayed. Press YES to delete the data, or NO to cancel.

● DELETE function

To delete the Accompaniment Assistance data at the current cursor

location, press the DELETE button. An “Are you sure?” message is

displayed. Press YES to execute the operation, or NO to cancel.

● END MARK function

This function is used to enter an “end mark” that identifies the end of

the Accompaniment Assistance data (see page 83). An end mark should

generally be entered to properly end the data. The cursor cannot be

moved past an end mark. You can delete an end mark with the DELETE

function, just as with other data.

• An end mark is unnecessary when an

ending pattern or fade-out event has

been programmed.

• If the Accompaniment Assistance data

is not ended by an end mark, an end-

ing pattern, or a fade-out event, play-

back will end one measure after the

last entered data.

● RHYTHM ON/OFF function

To turn the rhythm part on or off, press the RHYTHM ON/OFF but-

ton followed by the SET button.

No rhythm sounds are produced following the location at which a

“rhythm off” event has been entered; the rhythm starts sounding again

from the location to which a “rhythm on” event is entered.

The status of the rhythm part is indicated by the drum symbol in the

box in the middle of the display.

An initial “rhythm on” event is automati-

cally entered at the top of the first meas-

ure.

CVP-109/107/105/700

■ Other Ways to Use Accompaniment Assistance............

● Playing the Chords Yourself

Since the Clavinova will respond to the chords you indicate in the left

range of the keyboard when the [ACMP ON] lamp is lit, you can manu-

ally change chords even if the Accompaniment Assistance data already

includes chord changes. The Auto Accompaniment will always play the

most recently detected chord, regardless of whether that chord was indi-

cated by the Accompaniment Assistance data or the keyboard.

If you want to play all the chord changes (while the Accompaniment

Assistance function controls the style changes for you), simply don’t

include any chord changes in the Accompaniment Assistance data.

If you have already included chords in

your Accompaniment Assistance data,

but later decide that you want to play the

chords yourself, you don’t have to go to

the trouble of erasing them. You can

achieve the same result by adding an

“accompaniment off” event at the top of

the first measure (see page 84), then

starting the Auto Accompaniment as

described in “Playing with Accompani-

ment Assistance,” above.

● Using the Entire Keyboard

To play a keyboard part using the entire range of the keyboard, just omit

step 2 of the procedure above. (You will also have to press [SYNCHRO]

before you start playing if you want to use the Synchronized Start func-

tion.) You won’t be able to indicate chords manually, but the Auto Accom-

paniment will still play according to the Accompaniment Assistance data.

Other Auto Accompaniment Functions

X Turn on the Auto Accompaniment.

Press the [ACMP ON] button.

➔ The [ACMP ON] lamp lights, and the current accompaniment

mode is indicated at the left edge of the main display.

The [SYNCHRO] lamp also lights, indicating that you can start the

Auto Accompaniment with the Synchronized Start function (page 65).

Also, a keyboard lamp shows the current split point.

C Start playing.

Press the [START/STOP] button, or start playing the keyboard.

➔ The Auto Accompaniment starts playing automatically, including

any section changes and chord changes indicated by the previ-

ously recorded Accompaniment Assistance data.

Play the keyboard part in the right-hand range of the keyboard, along

with the Auto Accompaniment. (The left-hand range can be used to

indicate chords, as described below in “Playing the Chords Yourself.”)

● Playing the Style Without Auto Accompaniment

By combining the two techniques described above, you can have the

Accompaniment Assistance control only the style changes played by the

rhythm section without using the other accompaniment parts, to provide an

automatic percussion-only accompaniment. Just don’t include any chord

changes in the Accompaniment Assistance data, and leave the [ACMP

ON] button off when you start playing. You will be able to play along to a

simple percussion accompaniment, using the entire range of the keyboard.

As was mentioned above, if you have

already programmed chords in your

Accompaniment Assistance data, you

can achieve the same result by adding

an “accompaniment off” event at the top

of the first measure (see page 84).

■ Saving and Loading Your Data...........................................................

Since the Clavinova’s memory can only hold one set (up to 999 measures)

of Accompaniment Assistance data at a time, you may want to save your data

on a disk so that you can load it again after programming other sets.

You can save and load Accompaniment Assistance data using the func-

tions in the FUNCTION [DISK 1] display (see page 192).

You can play back song data and Ac-

companiment Assistance data at the

same time. However, you will not be able

to use the [REW] or [FF] buttons, or any

of the Repeat (page 122) and Guide

Control (page 125) functions that are

normally available during song playback.

Moreover, the style changes and time

signature information in the Accompani-

ment Assistance data will take priority

over those in the song; any rhythm, bass,

and chord parts recorded in the song will

therefore not play back. The playback

tempo will be determined by tempo data

in the song, however.

You can also record the Accompaniment

Assistance data to a floppy disk using the

Song Record function.

CVP-109/107/105/700

Harmony

This feature adds harmony or embellishment notes to the melody you

play using the main voice in the right range of the keyboard. The har-

mony notes are produced automatically to match chords played with

Auto Accompaniment.

■ Adding Harmony.................................................................................................

Since the Harmony function can be turned on and off while playing,

you can add “spice” and professional polish to your performance by ap-

plying harmony to selected phrases as you play.

Z Turn the Harmony function on.

• The Harmony feature cannot be turned

function, you can change the voice and effect settings to suit your prefer-

ences. You can also use the Registration function (page 108) to save the

panel setup in the Clavinova’s memory.

CVP-109/107/105/700

The Clavinova lets you create custom accompaniment styles

that you can recall and play back at any time, just like the presets.

Up to 12 custom styles can be maintained in the Clavinova’s

memory at the same time, and any number can be saved to disk

for later reloading and use.

C Select a source style....................................................................................

Select a preset style that is close to the style you want to create. Preset

style selection is carried out in the normal way (page 61).

You can also use the style already selected in the DISK/CUSTOM

STYLE display as the basis for your new style, or select a different

DISK/CUSTOM style just as you would a preset style.

V Select the section you want to record......................................

• In the CUSTOM STYLE display, the

variations and patterns that make up a

style are referred to as “sections.”

• A custom style includes only one intro

section, one fill-in section, and one

ending section.

• The custom style’s intro, fill-in, and

ending sections are based on the

corresponding patterns for the style

variation (MAIN A, MAIN B, MAIN C, or

MAIN D) that was selected when the

CUSTOM STYLE button was pressed

(page 91).

In page 1 of the CUSTOM STYLE display, press the SECTION but-

ton as many times as necessary to display the section you want to record:

MAIN A, MAIN B, MAIN C, MAIN D, INTRO, FILL IN, or ENDING.

➔ The SECTION function is highlighted, and each section is displayed

in turn. The Clavinova plays the currently displayed section repeat-

edly.

➔ The part number is highlighted. If you have selected a part other than

R1 or R2, the “Clear part?” message will be displayed.

Clear part?

• If the source style is a preset style or a

style loaded from an optional Style File

disk, parts other than R1 and R2 must

be cleared before they can be re-

corded.

• The “Clear part?” message will not be

displayed if the selected part does not

contain any data.

➾ Press OK to clear the part and continue, or CANCEL to abort.

M Select the voice for the part..........................................................

The preset voice for the part being re-

corded is initially selected.

At this point you can also select the voice you want to record the

part with. Select the voice as you would the main keyboard voice

(see page 31).

Part Voices that can be used

R1 Any drum or SFX kit in PERCUSSION group

R2 Any except Organ Flute (CVP-109/107/700)

Others

Any except a drum kit, SFX kit, or Organ Flute (CVP-109/107/700)

< Record the selected part...................................................................

• Playback of the custom style can be

started and stopped by pressing the

[START/STOP] button. (Data cannot

be recorded while playback is

stopped.)

• All notes are automatically stopped at

the end of the style (i.e., at the point

between repeats when recording). It is

therefore not advisable to record over

this point.

You can now record new notes in the selected part by playing the

keyboard at the appropriate timing. Record non-percussion parts in C

major seventh (CM7), since the custom style is recorded as a C ma-

jor seventh pattern.

If you want to create a totally new part from scratch, press the

CLEAR LCD button to clear the selected part before beginning to

record. If both the R1 and R2 parts are cleared, the metronome will

sound to provide a timing guide. (The metronome sound is not re-

corded, and will stop as soon as the custom style is stored.)

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-109/107/105/700

When recording a drum kit voice in part R1 or R2, you can clear a

single drum instrument from the part by pressing the key corresponding

to the instrument to be cleared while holding down the C1 key on the

keyboard. (The C1 key is labeled “CANCEL.”) The metronome timing

guide can also be cleared in this way.

> Quantize the recorded part, if necessary...............................

You can “tighten up” the timing of a recorded part by using the PART

QUANTIZE functions in page 2 of the CUSTOM STYLE display to

align all the notes to a specified beat. Press the PAGE [>] button to dis-

play the function, then press the middle LCD button to select the

quantize size:

Once the required quantize size has been selected, press the START

LCD button to quantize the current part. The part will begin to play using

the new timing, and the START button will change to UNDO, allowing

you to undo the quantize operation and return to the pre-quantized data if

the results are not as you expected. You will not be able to UNDO once

another button has been pressed.

Creating Your Own Styles

Another useful recording aid is the SOLO LCD button: when this

button is pressed and highlighted, only the selected part will sound. Press

the SOLO button again to turn the solo function off and hear all parts in

the selected section.

Repeat steps 4 through 9 to record other parts for the currently se-

lected section.

Repeat steps 4 through 10 to record other sections, until all sections

The current tempo setting at the time the

custom style is stored becomes the

preset tempo for that style.

Press the STORE LCD button in page 3 of the CUSTOM STYLE

display to store the current custom style in the Clavinova’s memory.

➔ The Clavinova displays a message asking you to confirm your

decision to store the style.

➾ Use the MEMORY NO. ▼ and ▲ buttons, the data dial, or the [–]

and [+] buttons to select the memory number (1 through 12)

where you want to store the custom style, then press OK to store

or CANCEL to abort.

If the selected memory number already

contains a style, the style name will

appear next to the memory number. The

existing style will be overwritten when a

new style is stored.

Creating Your Own Styles

● Be Sure to Save Your Data!

Custom style data is not retained in memory when the power is turned

off, so be sure to save your custom style before turning the power off

(see page 101).

CVP-109/107/105/700

In addition to the various functions described in the basic custom

style recording procedure, above, the CUSTOM STYLE display pages

include several other functions that you may find useful when creating

custom styles.

■ RECALL SECTION function .....................................................................

This function makes it possible to recall the last-stored version of the

currently selected section (all parts of the section are recalled). Simply

press the RECALL SECTION LCD button in page 2 of the CUSTOM

STYLE display. If the Clavinova cannot recall the preceding operation

(i.e., after time signature has been changed), the “Can’t recall!” mes-

sage will be displayed. If this happens, press OK to return to the previous

display.

Other Custom Style Functions

■ STYLE CLEAR function.................................................................................

Press the STYLE CLEAR LCD button in page 3 of the CUSTOM

STYLE display to completely clear the current custom style. The “Are

you sure?” message will be displayed. Press YES to clear the style, or

NO to cancel the change.

Creating Your Own Styles

100

CVP-109/107/105/700

■ Volume and Effects.........................................................................................

Page 4 of the CUSTOM STYLE display includes several functions

that let you set the volume, reverb, chorus type and depth, effect (CVP-

109/107/700), and pan for each part of each custom style section.

Z Select the section and part.

Use the SECTION function to select a section (or select ALL for all

sections), and the PART function to select a part (or select ALL for all

parts).

X Select the parameter you want to set.

The third LCD button selects the parameter to be set for the current

section and part. Choose from VOLUME, REVERB, CHORUS, EF-

FECT (CVP-109/107/700) or PAN.

C Select the chorus type.

If you selected CHORUS in step 2, the TYPE function is displayed

above the fourth LCD button. Use this function to select the chorus

type you want to apply to the current section and part.

Creating Your Own Styles

CVP-109/107/700

The word “OTHERS” may appear as the

chorus type if the preset style uses a

chorus type other than those in the list.

The OTHERS setting cannot be re-se-

lected once you select a different chorus

type.

101

CVP-109/107/105/700

V Set the value or depth of the selected parameter.

• The reverb and effect types used for

the custom style are determined by the

style that was selected as the basis for

custom style creation.

• Normally the VALUE and chorus TYPE

settings from the preset style are ini-

tially selected. If the PART function is

set to ALL, the preset values for part

R1 are displayed. If the SECTION

function is set to ALL, the preset val-

ues for MAIN A are displayed.

The VALUE (or DEPTH) function displayed above the rightmost

LCD button sets the amount or depth for the parameter selected in

step 2.

When VOLUME is selected, the SECTION setting is fixed at ALL

and the VALUE range is from –50 to +50 (this value is relative to

the preset volume of the source style). When the REVERB, CHORUS,

or EFFECT (CVP-109/107/700) parameter is selected, the DEPTH

can be set in a range from 0 to 127. When PAN is selected, the

VALUE function can be set in a range from L10 (full left) to C

(center) to R10 (full right).

B Repeat as necessary.

Repeat the preceding steps to set other parameters for each part and

section in the custom style.

■ Saving Styles to Disk ...................................................................................

Page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display lets you save custom styles

on a disk. You can save custom styles individually, or in a complete set

of up to 12 styles.

After inserting a properly formatted disk (page 131) in the Clavinova’s

disk drive, use the MEMORY NO. ▼ and ▲ buttons to select the custom

style you want to save to disk, or select ALL to save a complete set of up

to 12 custom styles. When this is done, press the SAVE LCD button to

start saving the data to disk. At this point the SAVE display appears.

Enter a name for the style file. The procedure for entering the

filename is the same as that used to enter a name for a custom style (page

112). Press SAVE when the name has been entered. If a file with the

same name already exists, the “Same name! Overwrite?” mes-

sage will be displayed. Press OK to overwrite the existing file, or CAN-

CEL to abort the save operation.

Creating Your Own Styles

102

CVP-109/107/105/700

Custom styles must be stored in the Clavinova’s memory before they

can be saved to a disk. If a custom style has not been stored and you at-

tempt to save it to disk, the “Store in memory before saving

to disk” message will be displayed. If this happens, press OK to return

to page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display. Store the custom style (see

step 12 on page 98), then try saving again.

■ Deleting Style Files.........................................................................................

Style files can also be deleted from a disk using the DELETE func-

tion on page 5 of the CUSTOM STYLE display.

After inserting a disk that contains style files in the Clavinova disk

drive, press the DELETE LCD button. Use the FILE ▲ and ▼ buttons to

select the style file you want to delete from the disk. The “Are you

sure?” message will be displayed. Press YES to delete the style file, or

NO to cancel.

■ Exiting Custom Style Mode...................................................................

Press the [EXIT] button to exit the Custom Style mode and return to

the main display.

Style files can be loaded from disk using

the ALL LOAD and SINGLE LOAD func-

tions, as described in the “Loading Style

Files” section (page 105).

103

CVP-109/107/105/700

Once created, your original custom styles can be selected for play-

back by pressing the [DISK/CUSTOM] button, then using the STYLE

▲ and ▼ LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons to select

the custom style you want to play. The selected style can then be played

in exactly the same way as the preset styles (page 61).

Playing Back Your Custom Styles

Since only one intro pattern, one fill-in

pattern, and one ending pattern can be

recorded for each custom style, no intro,

fill-in, or ending variations are produced

during playback.

The following messages may appear when creating and storing a style

in Custom Style mode.

■ Memory Full During Recording.........................................................

This message will be displayed if the memory becomes full during

recording or editing.

Messages in Custom Style Mode

Press OK to return to the CUSTOM STYLE display, then simplify the

style by clearing a part, etc.

■ Insufficient Memory To Store ..............................................................

This message will be displayed if there is not enough memory to per-

form a store operation.

In this case it will be necessary to either delete a style you don’t need,

or simplify the style you are currently recording. Press CANCEL to re-

turn to the CUSTOM STYLE display and simplify the current style (by

clearing a part, etc.), or DELETE to delete one or more styles.

Creating Your Own Styles

If you select the DELETE function, the “Select style to delete”

message will be displayed:

The amount of memory being used by

each style is displayed next to the style

name (in approximate kilobytes). You can

refer to this amount to judge how much

memory (out of the total 300 KB) will

become available when a particular style

is deleted.

Use the MEMORY NO. ▼ and ▲ buttons to select the style you

want to delete, then press OK to delete the style, or CANCEL to cancel

the operation.

If the Clavinova displays the “Can’t delete this style!” mes-

sage when you try to delete a style, it is because you have tried to delete

the style that your custom style was based on. If this happens, press OK

to return to the “Select style to delete” display, then select a dif-

ferent style to delete.

■ Exit Before Store...............................................................................................

If you press [EXIT] button to exit the Custom Style mode before

storing the style, the Clavinova will display a message like the one

shown below:

Select a memory number and press YES to store the style and exit,

press NO to exit without storing the style, or press CANCEL to return to

the Custom Style mode.

■ Style Change Before Store.....................................................................

If you want to select a different source

style without storing the current style, exit

the Custom Style mode without storing

the style (see “Exit Before Store” above),

then re-enter the Custom Style mode.

If you attempt to select a different source style before storing the style

you’ve just edited, the following display will appear:

Select a memory number and press OK to store the style and select a

new source style, or press CANCEL to return to the Custom Style mode.

105

CVP-109/107/105/700

You can load and play style files created in the Style File Format

either from optional Yamaha “Style File” disks, or from disks

containing custom style files you’ve created yourself.

Using Style Files

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original auto-accompaniment for-

mat, which has evolved through years of development and refinement.

The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows

you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of

chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets

you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well

as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode.

About the Yamaha Style File Format

Style files created for Clavinova models

prior to the CVP-109/107/105/700 may

have slightly different formats. If you try

loading such files, the data may not play

back as expected. (This also applies to

the use of CVP-109/107/105/700 style

data by earlier-model Clavinovas.)

Loading Styles from a Disk

Z Insert a disk............................................................................................................

If a disk containing both song data and

style files is inserted, the SONG PLAY

display will automatically appear. If this

happens, press the [SONG] button or the

[EXIT] button to return to the main dis-

play, then press the [DISK/CUSTOM]

button.

Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN

USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the

disk. When a Style File disk is inserted, the STYLE FILE LOAD display

(see step 2 below) will appear automatically.

If the disk is already inserted and the STYLE FILE LOAD display is

not showing, press the [DISK/CUSTOM] button to open the DISK/

CUSTOM STYLE display, then press the LOAD SINGLE button.

the “Too much data for LISTEN func-

tion! Please load data.” message will

be displayed. If this happens, load the

style directly as in step 4.

• The Auto Accompaniment is automati-

cally turned on when the LOAD SIN-

GLE button is pressed, and the style is

played back automatically with the

Auto Accompaniment in C Major when

the LISTEN LCD button is pressed.

You can change the chord or try play-

ing on the keyboard while previewing a

style.

Select the desired style using the left and right LCD buttons, the

STYLE ▲ and ▼ buttons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons.

You can preview the selected style by pressing the LISTEN LCD

button. (The LISTEN function is not available in the ALL LOAD dis-

play.) To stop listening, press the LISTEN LCD button again, or press

the [START/STOP] button.

• If the selected memory number already

contains a style, the name of that style

will appear above the MEMORY and

LOAD functions in the display. The

existing style will be overwritten when

a new style is loaded. (One pre-pro-

grammed temporary style is automati-

cally loaded into the [DISK/CUSTOM]

memory whenever the power is turned

on.)

Use the MEMORY LCD button to select the memory number to

which the selected style file is to be loaded (1 through 12), then press

the LOAD LCD button to load the style file.

CHAPTER 7: Song Control

Song Playback

The Clavinova can play back songs recorded using the Song

Record function (page 130), as well as song data included on

various commercially available software disks. You can also play

along on the keyboard as the songs play back. Moreover, when

song data software includes lyrics, you can view the lyrics in the

display during playback.

• See “Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks” (page 9)

for information on using floppy disks.

• The Clavinova can play back up to 99 songs recorded on a single disk.

Any songs exceeding this number will not be available for playback.

• Playback data is normally not output via MIDI. However, you can set

the Clavinova to output song data using the Song Transmission func-

tion in the FUNCTION [MIDI 4] display (page 204).

• In addition to songs you’ve recorded yourself, the CVP-109/107/105/

700 can play back commercially available disks of Yamaha DOC soft-

ware, XG software, and Disklavier PianoSoft as well as GM software.

See “Playing Other Types of Music Data” on page 124.

• Consult your Yamaha dealer for information on song data that is com-

patible with the Lyric Display function of the Clavinova.

Z Enter the Song Play mode. .................................................................

Gently insert the included “Music Software Collection” disk or a

disk containing songs you’ve recorded yourself into the disk drive.

Make sure to insert the disk face up in correct direction, as shown in

the illustration, until it clicks into place. The Song Play mode is auto-

matically called up when a song disk is inserted in the disk drive.

The Song Play mode is not automatically

engaged if the disk is inserted when one of

● Adjusting the Tempo

The playback tempo of the song can be changed as desired. (See page

27.) The preset tempo for the selected song can be restored at any time

by simultaneously pressing the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons.

Usually the tempo is indicated by numbers. However in case of the

free tempo software, “- - -” will appear in place of the tempo in the dis-

play, and the measure numbers shown in the display will not correspond

to the actual measure; this only serves as a reference as to how much of

the song has been played back. The increase or decrease of the tempo

based on the basic tempo is indicated by a percentage figure in the dis-

play when the tempo is changed (from -99 to +99 at maximum; the range

differs depending on the software).

The BEAT lamps (page 64) may not

flash during playback of free-tempo

software.

With some songs, the displayed meas-

ure numbers may not match those

marked on the score.

Playing Other Types of Music Data

Using the [REW] button may cause the

■ About Compatible Software..................................................................

The CVP-109/107/105/700 can play back the following types of soft-

ware.

• Sequence formats: SMF (format 0 and 1), ESEQ

• Voice allocation formats: GM System Level 1, XG, DOC

Refer to “MIDI and Data Compatibility” (page 229) for information

on the voice allocation formats and sequence formats.

The internal tone generator of the CVP-109/107/105/700 automati-

cally resets for compatibility with either the Yamaha XG format (includ-

ing GM System Level 1) or the Yamaha DOC voice allocation (page

229), depending on the playback data. (However, the selected voice allo-

cation on the panel will not change.)

■ Song Data Recorded on Other Instruments........................

Song data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP-50/70/55/65/75/83S/85A/

87A/59S/69A/69/79A/89/92/94/96/98/600/103) will normally be played

back with the correct voices even though the volume balance may be

slightly different. However, data recorded using the Auto Accompaniment

function of the CVP-50/70 cannot be played back properly.

Song data recorded on the Yamaha Disklavier can also be played back.

Regardless of the type of software, only

the following disk formats can be used:

3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format and 3.5"

2HD 1.44 megabyte format.

CVP-109/107/105/700

The Clavinova has a special Guide function which allows you to

practice by using the appropriate disk software. The “piano roll”

display and the keyboard guide lamp indicate which keys you

should play, and when you should play them. You can even

practice at your own pace since the Clavinova pauses playback

of the accompaniment until you play the correct keys. (You can

try out the Guide function by pressing one of the GUIDE CON-

TROL buttons during playback of the “4. GUIDE Demo” song in

the Demo mode.)

Guide Control

The Clavinova has three different Guide methods that can be selected

depending on your playing experience or preferences. Beginning players

should practice first with Easy Play, then go on to Next Note, then Sound

Repeat.

Guide Methods and Piano Roll

“FOLLOW LIGHTS” and “CueTIME”

software should be used with the Next

Note method, as the Easy Play and

Sound Repeat methods may not function

properly with such software.

■ Practicing the Timing: Easy Play.....................................................

Since the Easy Play method lets you practice only the timing of the

notes, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. The melody will play

back smoothly when you play with the correct timing. (The accompani-

ment plays back normally in tempo.)

■ Practicing the Notes: Next Note.......................................................

The Next Note method lets you check which notes to play by looking

at the piano roll display and the keyboard guide lamps. Since the

Clavinova waits to play the accompaniment until you play the correct

note, you can practice at your own pace.

The keyboard guide lamps indicate the timing in which to play, by

changing from lit-up to flashing.

If the guide lamps do not flash…

The guide lamps may not flash in the

case of a few songs because of a special

guide system. In case of such songs,

however, you can switch to the Next Note

method so that the lamps flash, if you

like. See the “Other Guide-related Func-

tions” on page 128.

If the guide lamps and piano roll are

transposed up or down…

The guide lamps and piano roll may be

transposed up or down by one or two

octaves for certain songs. The guide

lamps and piano roll will not indicate

notes exceeding the 88-key range of the

keyboard.

■ Practicing Phrase-by-Phrase with the Playback:

Sound Repeat

.......................................................................................................

In the Sound Repeat method, the Clavinova plays back a short phrase.

Listen to the phrase and practice.

As soon as you play the phrase correctly, the Clavinova will auto-

matically play the next phrase.

Number of Repeats

You can set the number of times the

phrase will be repeated in the SONG

PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display

page 5). (See page 129.)

rect duration, hold the note for as long as the bar remains in the display.

Piano Roll ON/OFF

The piano roll display can be turned on

or off from the SONG PLAY [GUIDE

MODE] display (display page 5). (See

Z Set up the desired song for practicing......................................

Check that the disk is properly inserted in the disk drive before call-

ing up the Guide function.

Using the Guide Function

Before Practicing

Before starting to practice, play back the

entire song without canceling the part to

be practiced and listen to it carefully. This

will give you a clear idea of how the song

should be played, and will make your

practice sessions progress more

smoothly.

Auto Part Cancel

If you turn on the Guide function without

canceling playback of the part to be

practiced, 1/RIGHT part is guided (or the

2/LEFT part is guided when the 1/RIGHT

part contains no data). However, when

you cancel the part before turning on

Guide, the setting will be kept until the

song is changed.

Guide Control

➾ Select the song and cancel the part that you wish to practice your-

self from the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (display page 1).

• Track 10 (and 9, in some cases) can

only be used to record the rhythm

sound of the accompaniment style and

cannot be used to record keyboard

part. Also, the keyboard part should be

recorded on a track other than those

used for Harmony or Auto Accompani-

ment.

• When the RHYTHM tracks (9 and 10)

or the Auto Accompaniment tracks (9

through 16) are set to RECORD, the

metronome will sound to provide a

timing guide.

• If the Auto Accompaniment and/or

Harmony are already on when the

Track Recording page is selected, the

corresponding tracks are automatically

record-enabled.

➔ The selected track is indicated by an underline mark.

Use the rightmost LCD button to set the selected tracks to RECORD

(recording enabled) or OFF (recording/playback disabled). When a track

is set to RECORD, the Synchronized Start mode is turned on. The

Clavinova will start recording when you begin to play on the keyboard.

PLAY can only be selected for tracks which contain data. When a

track is muted, the track number is “ghosted” (shown in lighter indica-

tion) in the display.

Three separate tracks can be set to record simultaneously when re-

cording keyboard parts.

If you intend to record using the Dual or Split functions, two tracks

must be record-enabled.

If you intend to use both the Dual and Split functions simultaneously,

three tracks must be selected.

If the Auto Accompaniment and/or Harmony are turned on, the re-

cording track numbers are automatically fixed, as described below.

* If the Auto Accompaniment is turned on, tracks 9 through 16 are au-

tomatically set to record the Auto Accompaniment data. If the Har-

mony function is turned on and a harmony type (page 88) other than

Duet, Trio, Block, 4 Part, Country, Octave, or 1+5 is se-

lected, tracks 6 through 8 are automatically set to record the Harmony

data.

If you want to re-record part of the song (for

example, if you’ve made a mistake in the

recording), you can easily do so with the

Punch-in/out Recording function (page

138).

Backing Up Your Data

Any time you have recorded some amount

of data, you should copy the data to an-

other song number for backup purposes

(see page 196 for information on the Copy

operation). Doing this prevents accidental

loss of important data, should you inadvert-

ently delete the data while recording.

CVP-109/107/105/700

N Stop recording.................................................................................................

Press the [PLAY/STOP] button.

➔ Recording stops. The [REC] lamp goes out when the data has

been written to the disk, and the SONG PLAY display appears.

If you press the [START/STOP] button, only the recording of the

Auto Accompaniment or rhythm will stop. You can continue recording

your keyboard performance without the Auto Accompaniment or rhythm.

Press the [PLAY/STOP] button in order to actually stop recording.

If you stop the style by pressing the [ENDING] button or the [FADE

IN/OUT] button, the Clavinova will stop recording the keyboard as well.

When recording is finished, the [ACMP/

SONG VOLUME] level is automatically

set to the maximum value, regardless of

the current slider position.

You can add a new track to your song by selecting a new record

track(s) and voice(s) for recording as described above. You can also play

back and monitor the previously recorded tracks while you record. By

repeating this process, you can assemble a complete song.

Adding New Tracks

If you record on a track that has already

been recorded, the previous material will

be erased and the new material will be

recorded in its place.

With the Punch-in/out Recording function, you can selectively re-

record specified sections of the song. Punch-in/out recording allows you

to start recording from any “punch-in” point within a previously re-

corded track and stop recording at any “punch-out” point, leaving intact

all recorded material up to the punch-in point and following the punch-

out point.

Punch-in/out Recording

Punch-in/out recording cannot be per-

formed on tracks which have been used

to record the Auto Accompaniment or

rhythm parts, or on tracks 6 through 8

when these tracks have been used to

record harmony parts (see sidebar on

page 133).

Continue moving the cursor to other positions and enter chords and

style changes in this manner. You can always check the entered data

during the operation by playing back the sequence using the [PLAY/

STOP] button.

The data recorded by the Chord Sequence function is listed below.

Data Recorded by the Chord Sequence Function

• Accompaniment style

• Section (MAIN A/B/C/D, Intro, Ending, Auto-fill, Fade-in/out, Break)

• Chord name

• Tempo

• Auto accompaniment part volume (MIXER settings)

• Rhythm on/off

• ACMP/SONG volume (as an initial setting only)

A fade-out cannot be entered during a fade-

in.

Entering Rhythm-only Sections

You can also record the rhythm alone (with-

out accompaniment) to your song. To do

this, record a blank chord in the desired

measure by leaving the TYPE function set

to “ ---.”

Entering a Break

• A complete break can be created by

setting the chord type to “ ---” and setting

the rhythm sound to “OFF” (see

“RHYTHM ON/OFF” below).

• The “break fill” pattern triggered by the

left pedal (page 190) cannot be entered

using the Chord Sequence function.

the start of a measure without playing a

fill-in pattern, press the button for that

variation twice before pressing SET.

• The measure number is shown to the left

of the measure indicator.

• For information on other useful editing

features, see “Other Chord Sequence

Functions,” below.

• The same chord cannot be entered twice

in a row. If the chord displayed by the

ROOT and TYPE functions is the same

as the last chord that was recorded, the

Clavinova will not record a chord change

when the SET button is pressed.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • On the CVP-109/700, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap. • Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. • Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. • Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. ■USING THE BENCH (if included) • Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • On the CVP-109/700, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s finish. • Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. 1 (1)B_EL/CL-4vari. ■SAVING USER DATA CVP-109/107/105/700 3 Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Clavinova!

The Panel Logos The logos printed on the Clavinova panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes. GM System Level 1 “GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer. XG Format XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the Clavinova’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files. XF Format The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The Clavinova is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The Clavinova is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.) Disk Orchestra Collection The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices. Style File Format The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file format, which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The Clavinova uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Custom Style feature. 2 4 Vocal Harmony (CVP-109/107/700) Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects. CVP-109/107/105/700 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Features of the Clavinova ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ● Large, Easy-to-use LCD Display The large LCD (together with the various panel buttons) provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control of the Clavinova’s operations (page 16). ● Wealth of Rich, Realistic Voices The Clavinova has a wide variety of authentic and dynamic voices, including 224 original voices (195 voices on the CVP-105), 6 Organ Flute voices (CVP-109/107/700), 480 XG voices, and 13 drum/ SFX kits (12 kits on the CVP-105). These include exceptionally natural-sounding piano, strings and brass voices, and the particularly expressive “sweet” wind voices (the CVP-105 has one sweet voice, “SweetTrumpet”). Moreover, you can play realistic drum and percussion sounds directly from the keyboard (page 36). ● Playback of Song Disks The Clavinova can play back various commercially available song disks. With the appropriate disk software, you can play the piano part of the song yourself along with a full orchestra or backing band (page 113). If the software contains lyrics, you can display them on the Clavinova’s LCD — on the CVP-107, CVP-109 and CVP-700, you can even output them to a television screen via the VIDEO OUT jack (page 215). ● Special Guide Functions for Easy Learning With the appropriate disk software, the LCD display and guide lamps help you learn songs by showing you when and where to play the proper notes. The three-step system helps you to master each song quickly and easily (page 125). ● Fun, Dynamic Automatic Accompaniment The Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova gives you full, exciting instrumental backing in your favorite music styles, according to the chords you play (page 69). There’s even a wide selection of “Pianist” styles that allow you to enjoy solo piano accompaniment (page 70). Choose from no less than 170 accompaniment styles (the exact number of styles depends on the model), or create your own custom styles (page 91). ● Easy Access to a Variety of Musical Enjoyment The Clavinova offers several ways to change panel settings without a lot of fuss. You can use the One Touch Setting feature to select from four sets of voice, effect, and other settings appropriate to each accompaniment style (page 90). Or access the Music Database to choose from more than 400 sets of style and voice settings, selectable by title or style (page 79). You can even save your current setup for instant recall later using the handy Registration function (page 108). ● Easy-to-use Recording Features You can record songs using a variety of methods, depending on your keyboard expertise and preference. Choose from the Quick Recording, Track Recording, Chord Sequence Recording, and Step Edit functions (page 130). ● Automatic Vocal Harmony Function (CVP-109/107/700) The Clavinova’s unique Vocal Harmony feature employs advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal harmony based on a lead vocal, allowing a single singer to sound like a vocal group (page 175). ● Convenient TO HOST Terminals for Direct Connection to Computers 3 The Clavinova can be used as a high-quality sound source to play back music software for computers.

CVP-109/107/105/700 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks ● Precautions Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. ● Compatible Disk Type 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. ■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks ............. To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. DISK IN USE ○○○○○○○○○○○ ■ Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head ...................................................................................... ● Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. ● To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. ● Never open or close the key cover while a disk is extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position). The key cover may contact the disk, possibily damaging the disk or even the disk drive. ● Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. ■ About the Floppy Disks ................................... To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off). Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. DISK IN USE lamp DISK IN USE To handle floppy disks with care: ● Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. ● Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. ● Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. ● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. ● Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. ● Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). Data backup For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy function on page 196. 7 Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

Listen to them all and hear what the Clavinova can do. Z Call up the Demo Play mode. .............................................................. Press [DEMO]. The lamps of the STYLE button and VOICE button flash continuously, and the DEMO display appears. DEMO HELP VOCAL HARMONY X Select the desired play mode. ............................................................ Select the desired play mode by pressing the rightmost LCD button. The following three modes are available: ALL All the songs play back continuously in order, starting from the selected song. Playback continues repeatedly until stopped. RANDOM All the songs play back randomly, starting from the selected song. Playback continues repeatedly until stopped. SINGLE Only the selected song plays back. When the song is finished, playback stops automatically. C Select the song and start playback. ............................................. When you select a song, the demo automatically starts playing in the selected play mode. There are three ways to select a demo song, as described below: (A) To listen to one of the featured demo songs, press one of the buttons under the numbers 1 through 4 in the display. • You can also start the demo playback, beginning with the first feature song, by pressing [START/STOP] or [PLAY/ STOP]. • For a complete list of the Clavinova’s demo songs, refer to page 9 of the Reference Booklet. ➔ The current song number is highlighted during playback.

You can also change the tempo (page 27) and use the [REW], [FF] and [PAUSE] buttons. When you play 3. Lyric Demo, the Clavinova will display the lyrics so you can sing (as well as play) along; if you sing into a microphone connected to the CVP-109/107/700, you can use the Vocal Harmony function to add harmony to your vocals. Also, you can use the Guide function (page 125) while the Clavinova is playing 4. GUIDE Demo. You cannot change the voice selection while the demo is playing, however. Demo song data is not output through the [MIDI OUT] terminal; however, your keyboard performance data is output. CVP-109/107/105/700 15 CHAPTER 2: Basic Operation Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○ You will refer to the LCD display frequently as you operate your Clavinova. This section consists of a short tutorial that will help you learn how to read the LCD display and use the related controls. Selecting a Function Many of the Clavinova’s functions are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. The main display shown below contains two functions: KBD VOL and RIGHT1 VOICE. These items are displayed in rounded rectangles, which means they represent settings that can be changed. Main display Remember, the main display is the display that appears first when you turn the power on. CVP-107/700 Before you can change a function’s setting, however, you have to select it first. In the main display, the RIGHT1 VOICE function is highlighted, indicating that this function is currently selected. To select a function, press and quickly release the LCD button directly below that function. For example, you can select KBD VOL by pressing the leftmost LCD button. Highlighted items Selected items are highlighted (i.e., white letters on a dark background). LCD buttons The five LCD buttons under the LCD display represent different functions, depending on the contents of the display. Press to select. CVP-109/107/105/700 14 16 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using the LCD Display Controls Changing a Setting There are several ways to change a function’s value. Here are two of the main ways: ■ Using the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons ................................. Once you have selected a function, you can change its setting with the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. Since you have just selected KBD VOL, try turning the dial or pressing the [–] button until it reads 0. The KBD VOL function sets the keyboard volume. When you set it to 0, you will find that the keyboard won’t produce any sound, no matter how high you set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider! You can press the [–] and [+] buttons repeatedly to change the value a little, or hold them down to change it quickly. Refer to page 23 for details on the KBD VOL function. ■ Using the LCD buttons .................................................................................. You can also increase a setting by simply pressing and holding the corresponding LCD button. For now, since you’ll want to hear your keyboard later on, press and hold the leftmost LCD button until the value for KBD VOL is back up to 127. This is why you should release the LCD button quickly when you select a function: you could end up raising its value when you want to lower it! Hold down to increase. 15 Once you’ve got the keyboard volume back where it belongs, you can learn about a couple of other ways to change settings. CVP-109/107/105/700 17 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Changing a Setting in a Menu Display You can use either of the methods described previously to change the current voice selection. Just press RIGHT1 VOICE and hold the button down, or use the data dial or the [+] button to scan through the options. Try listening to a few of the voices while you’re at it… The problem with this method is that it can be hard to find the voice you’re looking for — after all, the Clavinova has more than 600 voices! So you’ll probably want to use a menu display to see what your choices are. Try pressing the [PIANO] button now. PIANO E. PIANO GUITAR Voice A voice is one of the sounds the Clavinova uses to make music. SYNTHESIZER When you press one of the VOICE buttons, the LCD displays a two-column menu listing the voices of that type. You should now be looking at a menu of piano voices. Refer to page 31 for more details about selecting voices. ■ Using the ▲ and ▼ LCD buttons ....................................................................... This display has one function, VOICE, that corresponds to two LCD buttons labeled ▲ and ▼. You can use these buttons to select a different piano voice, much as you would use the [–] and [+] buttons. ■ Using the left and right LCD buttons ............................................................ You may have noticed that each item in the menu corresponds to one of the buttons to the left and right of the LCD. You can press one of these buttons to select the corresponding menu item directly — which is much quicker than using the ▲ and ▼ buttons. Left and right LCD buttons The buttons to the left and right of the LCD are referred to as the left and right LCD buttons. Use any of the shaded controls to select a voice. As you can see, the menu display lets you select voices using any of a number of controls: the two rightmost LCD buttons, any of the left and right LCD buttons, the data dial, or the [–] and [+] buttons. Try selecting different piano voices in this display before you move on. CVP-109/107/105/700 16 18 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using the LCD Display Controls Resetting a Function’s Value After you have changed a function’s value, you may find you want to restore its basic setting. To demonstrate this, we’ll have to look at another of the Clavinova’s displays. Press the [FUNCTION] button. SONG MIXER MASTER EQUALIZER FUNCTION This button calls up one of the Clavinova’s FUNCTION displays. You can use this display to tune and transpose the keyboard. The TUNE function in this display has ▼ and ▲ LCD buttons like the ones you used in the VOICE SELECT display. You can use these buttons to tune the keyboard up or down. Press and hold the ▼ button (or use the data dial or the [–] button) to tune the keyboard down as far as it will go. If you play a few notes, you’ll notice that your Clavinova is flat by quite a bit. Now, let’s assume that you want to reset the keyboard to the standard 440.0 Hz. You could use the ▲ button (or the data dial, or the [+] button) to return the value to its basic setting — but there’s an easier way: When a function has a basic setting, you can reset it to that value by pressing both the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or both the [–] and [+] buttons) simultaneously. Try doing this now. Basic settings • The functions of the Clavinova are set to certain standard values or standard conditions when the instrument is shipped. These settings and conditions are called the basic settings. • A function’s basic settings are generally noted in the sidebar together with the possible settings for that function. • You can also use the Recall function (page 207) to restore basic settings at any time. Refer to page 188 for details on the TUNE and TRANSPOSE functions. There are some functions whose settings cannot be returned to the basic value by pressing the ▲ and ▼ buttons (or [–] and [+] buttons) simultaneously. 17 When you’ve got the keyboard back in tune, you’re ready to go on to the next operation. CVP-109/107/105/700 19 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Displaying a Different Page Whereas the ▲ and ▼ buttons of the VOICE function you used in the VOICE SELECT display change the menu selection, those of the TUNE function do not. The menu items in the FUNCTION display are not related to the TUNE function; instead, they represent different FUNCTION display pages. If you look again at the top of the display, you’ll see that you’re looking at a display named FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1], and it’s apparently the first of many function displays. Remember that you can always select menu items using the left and right LCD buttons. Press the left LCD button that corresponds to PEDAL in the menu. This button displays the FUNCTION [PEDAL] page, which you can use to adjust the operation of your Clavinova’s pedals. But wait — the box in the upper right corner says this is page 3! We seem to have skipped right past page 2… When a display is divided into pages, you can use PAGE buttons to change pages. Try pressing the [<] button now to see page 2. Display pages Some displays are divided into two or more pages, indicated by a series of overlapping boxes in the upper right corner of the display. The number in the topmost box is the number of the current display page. Refer to page 190 for details about the functions on the FUNCTION [PEDAL] display page. PAGE Page 2 is FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2], another page of keyboard settings. You can use the page buttons to select different pages of multi-page displays, not only in FUNCTION mode, but also in certain VOICE SELECT and STYLE SELECT displays. But don’t change the page yet: we’re going to use page 2 to discuss the next operation. CVP-109/107/105/700 18 20 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using the LCD Display Controls Using Functions in Non-rounded Rectangles In addition to the FIXED VELOCITY function, which is selected in this display, the FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] page has two functions in normal rectangles: KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING. Such functions cannot be selected; instead, pressing the corresponding LCD button changes the setting directly without selecting the function. By pressing the LCD button under KEY TOUCH, for example, you can set the Clavinova’s response to how hard you play. The value displayed in the rectangle switches from NORMAL to SOFT, then FIXED, then HARD — but the FIXED VELOCITY function remains selected. The VOICE SETTING function determines whether reverb, chorus, effect, and other settings are automatically selected when a voice is selected. It works a little differently: when you press the LCD button, the highlighted setting switches between AUTO and MANUAL. Still, FIXED VELOCITY remains selected. There are other sorts of functions that are displayed in non-rounded rectangles, like the ones you used to select a demo song in Demo mode (see page 14). The important thing to remember about these functions is that you don’t select them, you execute them. Now we’re ready to return to the main display. First, however, set the KEY TOUCH and VOICE SETTING functions back to NORMAL and AUTO, respectively. The FIXED VELOCITY function is described on page 189. For more details on the KEY TOUCH function, refer to page 189. For more details on the VOICE SETTING function, refer to page 189. Exiting to the Main Display To exit the current display, press the [EXIT] button. EXIT DIRECT ACCESS You can usually use [EXIT] to get back to the main display. In some cases, however, this button will return you to a previous setting display instead. When this happens, pressing [EXIT] again will get you back to the main display. 19 The main display should show the name of the last piano voice that you selected in the VOICE SELECT [PIANO] display. CVP-109/107/105/700 21 Using the LCD Display Controls ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Using the Direct Access Function The last function we need to discuss is Direct Access. The [DIRECT ACCESS] button lets you jump directly to pages with particularly useful settings. When you press [DIRECT ACCESS], the “Press a button to display corresponding settings” message will appear in the LCD display. EXIT DIRECT ACCESS This message will remain onscreen for about three seconds. Press the button corresponding to the settings you want to display before the message disappears. Here is a list of pages you can access with Direct Access: [DIRECT ACCESS] plus: [VOCAL HARMONY] [ACMP ASSIST] [HARMONY] [ACMP ON] [METRONOME] Any VOICE button [DUAL] [SPLIT] [REVERB](4) [CHORUS] [EFFECT](4) [1], [2], [3], or [4] [REGISTRATION] Displays: VOCAL HARMONY (CVP-109/107/700) ACMP ASSIST HARMONY ACCOMPANIMENT MODE METRONOME KEYBOARD [RIGHT1] (1) KEYBOARD [RIGHT2](2) KEYBOARD [LEFT](3) KEYBOARD [RIGHT2] KEYBOARD [LEFT] NATURAL REVERB (CVP-109) REVERB REVERB DEPTH CHORUS EFFECT 1 (CVP-109/107/700) EFFECT 2 (CVP-109/107/700) EFFECT (CVP-105) REGISTRATION [NAME] REGISTRATION [FREEZE] See page: 176 81 87 71 28 36 36 36 39 42 47 47 50 52 55 55 58 111 110 You can also press an appropriate button while holding down the [DIRECT ACCESS] button.

(4) Selects whichever page was most recently displayed. ● A Word about Messages For ease of operation, the Clavinova displays various messages (like the message displayed by the Direct Access function as described above) that either prompt you to the next operation, ask for confirmation, or inform you that the last operation is not effective, valid, or appropriate. When such messages appear, follow the instructions as shown. For details about each message, please refer to the “Messages” section on page 221. ● Saving Your Changes Now that you’ve started learning how to change the Clavinova’s settings, you may be wondering whether it will remember the changes you’ve made even after you’ve turned the power off. The answer is yes — but you need to tell it which settings you want it to remember. By default, the Clavinova will not remember most of your setting changes. You have two ways to tell it which settings you want to remember: • You can register your settings with the Registration function (page 108). Once you have registered your settings, you can restore them at any time by pressing a couple of buttons. • You can instruct the Clavinova to remember certain settings when the power is off, and recall these settings when you turn the power back on. To do this, you need to change the settings of the Backup function (page 206). CVP-109/107/105/700 20 22 Adjusting the Volume ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The Clavinova has two sliders that let you adjust the overall volume and the accompaniment or song playback volume.

Since the value can be changed during playback, you can adjust the settings while listening to the changes in the sound. When you change a gain value, an asterisk (*) will appear near the name of the selected equalizer setup to indicate that the settings have been changed. By default, these settings will not be retained when the power is turned off. If you want the Clavinova to retain your settings while the power is off, you can turn on the BACKUP function for the VOICE SETTING parameter group (page 206). Gain • Settings: –12 — 0 — +12 (dB) • Basic setting: varies depending on equalizer setup and band. • Backup of last settings: OFF • Distortion could result if the gain is set to higher levels. If this happens, reduce the overall volume with the [MASTER VOLUME] control. Using the Equalizer Lock Function When equalizer setting values are contained in the song data, or when the equalizer setting data is received via MIDI, the current settings in the MASTER EQUALIZER display will be overridden by the settings of the song data or MIDI data.

Damper Pedal (Right) The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing the keys. On the CVP-109/107/700, you can also set the damper pedal to bend the pitch of notes up or down using the RIGHT PEDAL function (page 191). • Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal. • Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held. Sostenuto Pedal (Center) If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held, but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. • Certain voices in the [PERCUSSION] and [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal. • Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed. Soft Pedal (Left) 43 Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for example, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to play Fill Ins. See page 190 for details. The effect of the soft pedal may differ slightly depending on the selected voice. CVP-109/107/105/700 45 4: Reverb and Other CHAPTER Reverb ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Reverb is an effect that recreates the acoustic ambiance of a performance space — anything from a room in a jazz club to a concert hall. The Clavinova lets you choose from a variety of reverb effects; the CVP-109 gives you the additional option of using the high-quality Natural Reverb — effects of a caliber normally employed in professional recording studios. Of course, you can set the depth of any reverb effect to your preference. With the CVP-109/107/700, you can also apply reverb effects to the signal from the microphone using the Vocal Harmony settings (see page 177).

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT ACMP ON INTRO MAIN A AUTO FILL MAIN B MAIN C MAIN D ENDING Use these buttons to select style variations. Main A is generally the most rudimentary form of the style; the other variations are more or less lavish embellishments on the same basic theme. By judiciously switching between variations as you play, you can add variety and make the performance more interesting. ■ Selecting a Variation ........................................................................................ You can select a style variation before you start playing the style. To select a variation, simply press the corresponding button. AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT ACMP ON INTRO MAIN A AUTO FILL MAIN B MAIN C MAIN D ENDING ➔ The button’s lamp lights. The Clavinova will begin playing the selected style variation when you start the style using one of the methods described in the next section. ■ Playing Fill-in Patterns .................................................................................. 61 If you select a different style variation while the style is playing, the Clavinova will play an automatic fill-in pattern as it switches to the new variation. The fill-in pattern, like the main pattern, is different for each variation. Fill-in patterns A “fill-in pattern” is a embellishment of the basic rhythm, usually played at the end of a musical phrase as an exciting transition into the next segment. CVP-109/107/105/700 63 Playing the Accompaniment Styles ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ To change the variation while the style is playing, press the button corresponding to the new variation. ➔ The button’s lamp flashes as the Clavinova plays the fill-in pattern. Generally speaking, the Clavinova will start the fill-in pattern soon after you press the button. If you select a variation after the last eighth note of a measure, however, it will begin the fill-in pattern from the start of the next measure. Using the Pedals You can also use the left pedal to pause the style or play a special fill-in pattern by setting the LEFT PEDAL function (page 190) to BREAK or BREAK FIL. ➔ When the fill-in pattern is finished, the button’s lamp lights steadily as the Clavinova plays the main pattern. The auto fill-in feature provides an exciting transition as you switch from one variation to another. If Main A is playing and you press [MAIN B], for example, the Clavinova will play Fill-in B, then start playing Main B. You can also play fill-in patterns without selecting a different variation. Just press the button for the variation that is playing. The Clavinova will play the fill-in for that variation, then return to the main pattern. ■ More Fun With Fill-ins .................................................................................... ● Changing the Fill-in It is possible to switch variations while a fill-in pattern is playing. The Clavinova will switch to the fill-in pattern for the new variation, then continue with the new main pattern as usual. ● Repeating the Fill-in If you hold down the flashing button, or press it after the last eighth note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the fill-in pattern will be repeated. ● Canceling the Fill-in If you press the flashing button earlier than the last eighth note of the measure while the fill-in pattern is playing, the Clavinova will stop playing the fill-in pattern and continue with the main pattern. Starting the Accompaniment Style There are several ways to start the accompaniment style, as described below: ■ Standard Start .........................................................................................................

Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment. ■ Single Finger Chords • The Clavinova displays the names of the chords you play at the left edge of the main display, below the measure number. • The same accompaniment continues (even after you release the chord in the left range) until you play the next chord. The following four chord types can be played in Single Finger mode: C • Major Press the root note of the chord. Cm • Minor [m] The illustration below shows the key corresponding to each root note. C# Eb F# Ab Bb (Db)(D#) (Gb)(G#)(A#) Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any black key to the left of it. C7 • Seventh [7] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white key to the left of it. Cm7 C D E F G A B • Minor Seventh [m7] Simultaneously press the root note of the chord and any white and black keys to the left of it (three keys at once). ● Multi Finger This method allows you to control the Auto Accompaniment using either the Single Finger method (described above) or the Fingered 1 method (described below). However, when indicating minor, seventh or minor seventh chords, it is necessary to play the white key and/or black key nearest the root note of the chord. ● Fingered 1 To control the Auto Accompaniment, play any chord in the left range of the keyboard (below and including the split point). Play the melody in the right range along with the Auto Accompaniment. • The automatic accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). • If the Clavinova cannot recognize a chord you play, an asterisk “ * ” will appear instead of the chord name in the display. • Drums-only accompaniment can be produced by pressing any three consecutive keys (e.g., C, C#, D) simultaneously. This lets you create dynamic “drum breaks” in the accompaniment. A series of dashes “- - -” will appear instead of a chord name in the display. Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

An initial tempo event is automatically entered at the top of the first measure, based on the current tempo settings when the ACMP ASSIST display is first opened. ● Entering a Rhythm Break You can have Accompaniment Assistance play the rhythm part alone (without other accompaniment) as a transitional “rhythm break.” To do this, you must record a “no chord” event at the beginning of the break. Press any three adjacent keys (two white keys and a black key, or vice versa) in the left range of the keyboard when using the Fingered 1 or Fingered 2 mode, or select TYPE and use the data dial or [–] and [+] buttons to display a series of dashes (- - -) as the setting for that function. Then press the SET button to register the break. ● Entering an Accompaniment Break A complete break can be useful if you want to play the keyboard part solo. To create an accompaniment break, set a “no chord” event as described above, and turn the rhythm off as described on the next page. ● Entering an “Accompaniment Off” Event When you first open the ACMP ASSIST display to create new Accompaniment Assistance data, an “accompaniment on” event is registered at the top of the first measure. You can enter an “accompaniment off” event by moving the cursor to the top of the first measure, pressing the [ACMP ON] button so the lamp turns off, and pressing the SET button. See the sidebar on page 86 for details regarding the use of “accompaniment off” events in Accompaniment Assistance playback.

An end mark should generally be entered to properly end the data. The cursor cannot be moved past an end mark. You can delete an end mark with the DELETE function, just as with other data. ● RHYTHM ON/OFF function To turn the rhythm part on or off, press the RHYTHM ON/OFF button followed by the SET button. No rhythm sounds are produced following the location at which a “rhythm off” event has been entered; the rhythm starts sounding again from the location to which a “rhythm on” event is entered. The status of the rhythm part is indicated by the drum symbol in the box in the middle of the display. • An end mark is unnecessary when an ending pattern or fade-out event has been programmed. • If the Accompaniment Assistance data is not ended by an end mark, an ending pattern, or a fade-out event, playback will end one measure after the last entered data. An initial “rhythm on” event is automatically entered at the top of the first measure.

The [SYNCHRO] lamp also lights, indicating that you can start the Auto Accompaniment with the Synchronized Start function (page 65). Also, a keyboard lamp shows the current split point. C Start playing. Press the [START/STOP] button, or start playing the keyboard. ➔ The Auto Accompaniment starts playing automatically, including any section changes and chord changes indicated by the previously recorded Accompaniment Assistance data. Play the keyboard part in the right-hand range of the keyboard, along with the Auto Accompaniment. (The left-hand range can be used to indicate chords, as described below in “Playing the Chords Yourself.”) You can play back song data and Accompaniment Assistance data at the same time. However, you will not be able to use the [REW] or [FF] buttons, or any of the Repeat (page 122) and Guide Control (page 125) functions that are normally available during song playback. Moreover, the style changes and time signature information in the Accompaniment Assistance data will take priority over those in the song; any rhythm, bass, and chord parts recorded in the song will therefore not play back. The playback tempo will be determined by tempo data in the song, however. ■ Other Ways to Use Accompaniment Assistance ............ ● Playing the Chords Yourself Since the Clavinova will respond to the chords you indicate in the left range of the keyboard when the [ACMP ON] lamp is lit, you can manually change chords even if the Accompaniment Assistance data already includes chord changes. The Auto Accompaniment will always play the most recently detected chord, regardless of whether that chord was indicated by the Accompaniment Assistance data or the keyboard. If you want to play all the chord changes (while the Accompaniment Assistance function controls the style changes for you), simply don’t include any chord changes in the Accompaniment Assistance data. If you have already included chords in your Accompaniment Assistance data, but later decide that you want to play the chords yourself, you don’t have to go to the trouble of erasing them. You can achieve the same result by adding an “accompaniment off” event at the top of the first measure (see page 84), then starting the Auto Accompaniment as described in “Playing with Accompaniment Assistance,” above. ● Using the Entire Keyboard To play a keyboard part using the entire range of the keyboard, just omit step 2 of the procedure above. (You will also have to press [SYNCHRO] before you start playing if you want to use the Synchronized Start function.) You won’t be able to indicate chords manually, but the Auto Accompaniment will still play according to the Accompaniment Assistance data. ● Playing the Style Without Auto Accompaniment By combining the two techniques described above, you can have the Accompaniment Assistance control only the style changes played by the rhythm section without using the other accompaniment parts, to provide an automatic percussion-only accompaniment. Just don’t include any chord changes in the Accompaniment Assistance data, and leave the [ACMP ON] button off when you start playing. You will be able to play along to a simple percussion accompaniment, using the entire range of the keyboard. As was mentioned above, if you have already programmed chords in your Accompaniment Assistance data, you can achieve the same result by adding an “accompaniment off” event at the top of the first measure (see page 84). ■ Saving and Loading Your Data ........................................................... Since the Clavinova’s memory can only hold one set (up to 999 measures) of Accompaniment Assistance data at a time, you may want to save your data on a disk so that you can load it again after programming other sets.

The CVP-109/107/105/700 can play back the following types of software. The Lyric Display function (page 129) cannot be used with song data recorded in SMF format 1. • Sequence formats: SMF (format 0 and 1), ESEQ • Voice allocation formats: GM System Level 1, XG, DOC Refer to “MIDI and Data Compatibility” (page 229) for information on the voice allocation formats and sequence formats. The internal tone generator of the CVP-109/107/105/700 automatically resets for compatibility with either the Yamaha XG format (including GM System Level 1) or the Yamaha DOC voice allocation (page 229), depending on the playback data. (However, the selected voice allocation on the panel will not change.) ■ Song Data Recorded on Other Instruments ........................ Song data recorded on other Clavinovas (CVP-50/70/55/65/75/83S/85A/ 87A/59S/69A/69/79A/89/92/94/96/98/600/103) will normally be played back with the correct voices even though the volume balance may be slightly different. However, data recorded using the Auto Accompaniment function of the CVP-50/70 cannot be played back properly. Song data recorded on the Yamaha Disklavier can also be played back. CVP-109/107/105/700 122 124 Regardless of the type of software, only the following disk formats can be used: 3.5" 2DD 720 kilobyte format and 3.5" 2HD 1.44 megabyte format. ○ Guide Control ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The Clavinova has a special Guide function which allows you to practice by using the appropriate disk software. The “piano roll” display and the keyboard guide lamp indicate which keys you should play, and when you should play them. You can even practice at your own pace since the Clavinova pauses playback of the accompaniment until you play the correct keys. (You can try out the Guide function by pressing one of the GUIDE CONTROL buttons during playback of the “4. GUIDE Demo” song in the Demo mode.)

Beginning players should practice first with Easy Play, then go on to Next Note, then Sound Repeat. “FOLLOW LIGHTS” and “CueTIME” software should be used with the Next Note method, as the Easy Play and Sound Repeat methods may not function properly with such software. GUIDE CONTROL EASY PLAY NEXT NOTE SOUND REPEAT ■ Practicing the Timing: Easy Play ..................................................... Since the Easy Play method lets you practice only the timing of the notes, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. The melody will play back smoothly when you play with the correct timing. (The accompaniment plays back normally in tempo.) ■ Practicing the Notes: Next Note ....................................................... 123 The Next Note method lets you check which notes to play by looking at the piano roll display and the keyboard guide lamps. Since the Clavinova waits to play the accompaniment until you play the correct note, you can practice at your own pace. The keyboard guide lamps indicate the timing in which to play, by changing from lit-up to flashing. If the guide lamps do not flash… The guide lamps may not flash in the case of a few songs because of a special guide system. In case of such songs, however, you can switch to the Next Note method so that the lamps flash, if you like. See the “Other Guide-related Functions” on page 128. If the guide lamps and piano roll are transposed up or down… The guide lamps and piano roll may be transposed up or down by one or two octaves for certain songs. The guide lamps and piano roll will not indicate notes exceeding the 88-key range of the keyboard. CVP-109/107/105/700 125 Guide Control ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ■ Practicing Phrase-by-Phrase with the Playback: Sound Repeat ....................................................................................................... In the Sound Repeat method, the Clavinova plays back a short phrase. Listen to the phrase and practice. As soon as you play the phrase correctly, the Clavinova will automatically play the next phrase. ● Piano Roll To show the piano roll in the display, press any GUIDE CONTROL button, then press the [PLAY/STOP] button to start playback. A bar of the same length as the note to be played scrolls down from the top of the display toward the bottom. You should play the note at the time the bar reaches the bottom of the display. In order to play the note with the correct duration, hold the note for as long as the bar remains in the display. Number of Repeats You can set the number of times the phrase will be repeated in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 129.) The keyboard guide lamps can be turned on or off as desired in the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 129.) Piano Roll ON/OFF The piano roll display can be turned on or off from the SONG PLAY [GUIDE MODE] display (display page 5). (See page 129.) Using the Guide Function Z Set up the desired song for practicing. ..................................... Check that the disk is properly inserted in the disk drive before calling up the Guide function. ➾ Select the song and cancel the part that you wish to practice yourself from the SONG PLAY [MAIN] display (display page 1). CVP-109/107/105/700 Auto Part Cancel If you turn on the Guide function without canceling playback of the part to be practiced, 1/RIGHT part is guided (or the 2/LEFT part is guided when the 1/RIGHT part contains no data). However, when you cancel the part before turning on Guide, the setting will be kept until the song is changed. 124 126 Before Practicing Before starting to practice, play back the entire song without canceling the part to be practiced and listen to it carefully. This will give you a clear idea of how the song should be played, and will make your practice sessions progress more smoothly. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○Guide Control X Select the Guide method. .........................................................................

Start playing the keyboard or press the [PLAY/STOP] button. To record the Auto Accompaniment parts, start the Auto Accompaniment in the usual way (page 70), and finger chords in a manner appropriate to the current accompaniment mode (pages 72 and 73). The current measure number is shown in the display as you record. The parameters listed below will be recorded in addition to notes you play. (Recorded parameters differ depending on the play styles and settings.) If you want to re-record part of the song (for example, if you’ve made a mistake in the recording), you can easily do so with the Punch-in/out Recording function (page 138). Backing Up Your Data Any time you have recorded some amount of data, you should copy the data to another song number for backup purposes (see page 196 for information on the Copy operation). Doing this prevents accidental loss of important data, should you inadvertently delete the data while recording.

When recording is finished, the [ACMP/ SONG VOLUME] level is automatically set to the maximum value, regardless of the current slider position. If you press the [START/STOP] button, only the recording of the Auto Accompaniment or rhythm will stop. You can continue recording your keyboard performance without the Auto Accompaniment or rhythm. Press the [PLAY/STOP] button in order to actually stop recording. If you stop the style by pressing the [ENDING] button or the [FADE IN/OUT] button, the Clavinova will stop recording the keyboard as well. Adding New Tracks You can add a new track to your song by selecting a new record track(s) and voice(s) for recording as described above. You can also play back and monitor the previously recorded tracks while you record. By repeating this process, you can assemble a complete song. If you record on a track that has already been recorded, the previous material will be erased and the new material will be recorded in its place. Punch-in/out Recording With the Punch-in/out Recording function, you can selectively rerecord specified sections of the song. Punch-in/out recording allows you to start recording from any “punch-in” point within a previously recorded track and stop recording at any “punch-out” point, leaving intact all recorded material up to the punch-in point and following the punchout point. Punch-in/out recording cannot be performed on tracks which have been used to record the Auto Accompaniment or rhythm parts, or on tracks 6 through 8 when these tracks have been used to record harmony parts (see sidebar on page 133).

Use the procedures below to change an event’s timing or type. ■ Changing the Timing of an Event ..................................................... You can use the TIMING function to change the timing of an event. Select the event whose timing you want to change as described in the preceding subsection, then press the TIMING LCD button. The first thing the TIMING function selects is the double-pointed arrow symbol in the leftmost column of event data. You can use this symbol to scroll the event list and display other events (see the sidebar on page 148). INITIAL timing You cannot change the timing of an event that is set to INITIAL timing. When you select such an event, the TIMING button will only select the double-pointed arrow symbol. Double-pointed arrow Measure Beat Clock The TIMING function also selects three parameters — the measure, beat, and clock values — that determine the timing of the event. You can change these parameters much as described for the location setting (page 148), save that you use the TIMING function rather than the topmost left LCD button to select between the parameters. Although the measure value selected by the TIMING function has a range of 1 to 9999, the thousands digit is not shown; hence, an actual value of 1000 will appear in the display as 000. ■ Changing the Event Type .......................................................................... To change an event’s type, select the event you want to change as described in the preceding subsection, then press EVENT TYPE LCD button. ➔ The event type icon is reverse-highlighted. ➾ Use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons to select a different event type. CVP-109/107/105/700 • See the “Editable Events” table on the next page for a list of event types that can be selected. • The Tempo, Time Signature, and Note events cannot be selected at the INITIAL timing. 148 150 • The number of event-specific parameters that are displayed for a given event depends on the event’s type. See the next subsection for a discussion of the various event-specific parameters, as well as the CURSOR functions that are used to select these parameters. • If you change an event to an event type which is not being displayed in the event list (see page 161), the event will “disappear” after you record the change (see step 8 on page 149). ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○Step Edit Event-specific Parameters Although every event has at least one event-specific parameter, some event types require that several parameters be set.

Note number Velocity Gate time Note event functions ➔ The NOTE NUMBER, VELOCITY, and GATE TIME functions are displayed above the third, fourth, and fifth LCD buttons. Each note is defined by three pieces of data (in addition to the timing, which is described on page 150). ● Note Number The note number determines which note on the keyboard is played. Use the NOTE NUMBER button to select this parameter, then use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the note number. ● Velocity The velocity setting determines how hard the note is played. Use the VELOCITY button to select this parameter, then use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the velocity. CVP-109/107/105/700 Velocity Range: 1 (min.) — 127 (max.) 150 152 Note Number Range: C–2 — G8 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○Step ● Gate Time The gate time setting determines the length of the note. You can set the gate time either by using the beat and clock parameters, just as you would to set the location of the note event (see page 152), or by selecting a note type from the third gate time parameter (displayed in brackets). Edit Beat value Range: 0 — 99 Clock value Range: 0 — 479 Beat value Note type Clock value Use the GATE TIME button to select the beat value, the clock value, or the note type parameter, then use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons to change the value of the selected parameter. When setting the gate time, keep in mind that the gate time of a note is generally set shorter than the timing interval for an equivalent note. For example, although the timing of consecutive eighth notes would differ by a clock value of 240, the note type parameter automatically sets gate time clock value of each eighth note to 192. This prevents the notes from running together. Varying note lengths You can vary the playing style by changing the gate time of the notes in a song. Decrease the gate time to make a note more staccato; increase it to make the note more tenuto. ■ Changing a Controller Setting .......................................................... Select the Control Change event you want to edit in the event list for the appropriate track (1 through 16).

When the GENDER TYPE function (page 181) is set to a value other than OFF, the Vocal Harmony function can correct slight inaccuracies in the pitch of the lead vocal. The pitch correction feature is enabled using the PITCH CORRECT function in page 2 of the VOCAL HARMONY display. To turn pitch correction on or off, press the PITCH CORRECT button. PITCH CORRECT • Settings: OFF, ON • Basic setting: Depends on vocal harmony type. No pitch correction is performed when the GENDER TYPE function is set to OFF, regardless of the PITCH CORRECT setting. ➔ The setting switches between ON and OFF each time you press the button. Because the basic setting of the PITCH CORRECT function depends on the currently selected vocal harmony type, the value of this function may change automatically when you change the HARMONY TYPE setting (page 177). ■ Playing a Clavinova Voice with Your Voice ............................ The Vocal Harmony function can also cause the Clavinova to play one of the keyboard voices when you sing into the microphone. The Clavinova automatically plays notes at the pitch you sing, using the voice selected for the keyboard part you specify using the PITCH TO NOTE function on page 2 of the VOCAL HARMONY display.

PITCH TO NOTE • Settings: OFF (vocals only), R1 (main voice), R2 (second voice), LEFT (left voice) • Basic setting: Depends on vocal harmony type. ➔ The setting changes each time you press the button. Because the basic setting of the PITCH TO NOTE function depends on the currently selected vocal harmony type, the value of this function may change automatically when you change the HARMONY TYPE setting (page 177). ■ Changing the Singer’s Apparent Gender ................................. Although many of the vocal harmony types change the pitch and timbre of the singer’s voice to produce harmonizing vocals with a different apparent gender, the Vocal Harmony function can also change the apparent gender of the lead vocalist. This is accomplished by the GENDER TYPE function on page 3 of the VOCAL HARMONY display. CVP-109/107/105/700 178 180 GENDER TYPE • Settings: OFF, UNISON, MALE, FEMALE • Basic setting: Depends on vocal harmony type. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Singing with Vocal Harmony (CVP-109/107/700) Use the GENDER TYPE ▲ and ▼ buttons to select a gender type, or highlight the GENDER TYPE function and use the data dial or the [–] and [+] buttons. ➔ The selected gender type is displayed. Gender Type Description UNISON Produces an effect between those produced by the MALE and FEMALE settings. MALE Adjusts the pitch and timbre of the singer’s voice to sound more masculine. FEMALE Adjusts the pitch and timbre of the singer’s voice to sound more feminine. When GENDER TYPE is set to any value other than OFF, the Vocal Harmony function will produce only one harmony note. Because the basic setting of the GENDER TYPE function depends on the currently selected vocal harmony type, the value of this function may change automatically when you change the HARMONY TYPE setting (page 177). ■ Changing the Harmony Mode ............................................................... The majority of the Clavinova’s vocal harmony types can produce harmony notes using one of two vocal harmony modes: Chordal or Vocoder. These modes differ mainly in the way performance data is used to produce harmonies (see “The Vocal Harmony Modes” on page 185 for details). You can use the HARMONY MODE function on page 3 of the VOCAL HARMONY display to select one of these modes, or instruct the Clavinova to select a mode automatically based on the current panel settings. Press the HARMONY MODE button to select AUTO, CHORDAL, or VOCODER as the harmony mode. 179 ➔ The setting changes each time you press the button. HARMONY MODE • Settings: AUTO, CHORDAL, VOCODER • Basic setting: AUTO • The HARMONY MODE value may change automatically to either CHORDAL or VOCODER, depending on the current performance method, if the HARMONY PART function (page 182) is set to a value other than the basic value. • The HARMONY MODE function is not available when the current vocal harmony type uses either Chromatic mode or Detune mode as the vocal harmony mode (page 185).

You can use the V.HRMNY MEMORY function in the RECORD EDIT 2 display (page 173) to record your vocal harmony settings to disk as part of a song that you’re editing in the Song Record mode. If you want a song to include automatic Vocoder mode harmonies, set up the song as follows: The LOCK setting in page 3 of the VOCAL HARMONY display is not saved by this function. 1. Record the harmony notes in one of the song’s tracks. 2. Select VOCODER as the harmony mode (page 181). 3. Set the track number from step 1 as the harmony part (page 182). If you don’t want Clavinova to play the notes from the harmony track during song playback, set the track volume to 0 using the Initial Edit function (page 171). Once you’ve completed these steps, you can use the V.HRMNY MEMORY function to save the Vocal Harmony data. CVP-109/107/105/700 182 184 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Singing with Vocal Harmony (CVP-109/107/700) The vocal harmony settings that you save as part of a song will be recalled automatically when you select that song for playback. (You can override the Vocal Harmony data in the song by changing the settings in the VOCAL HARMONY display before you begin playback, however.) The Vocal Harmony Modes The vocal harmony mode determines how the Vocal Harmony function applies harmony notes to the lead vocal. Refer to the list of vocal harmony types on page 13 of the Reference Booklet to determine which vocal harmony mode is used by a given vocal harmony type. ● Chordal Mode When a vocal harmony type uses the Chordal mode, the pitch of the harmony notes is automatically determined by the Auto Accompaniment chords or the chord data in an XF song. ● Vocoder Mode When a vocal harmony type uses the Vocoder mode, the pitch of the harmony notes is directly controlled by notes played on the keyboard or included in a specified song track. ● Chromatic Mode A vocal harmony type that uses the Chromatic mode always produces notes at a fixed interval from the lead vocal. 183 ● Detune Mode A vocal harmony type that uses the Detune mode adds notes that are detuned by a specific amount, thus adding a chorus effect to the lead voice. CVP-109/107/105/700 185 9: The Utility Functions CHAPTER The Function mode provides various advanced functions that, for example, let you make various MIDI settings, or give you greater, more convenient control over disk-related operations.

CVP-109/107/105/700 187 Keyboard ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 1] Display — page 1 ■ Tune .................................................................................................................................... The Tune function lets you make fine adjustments to the pitch, allowing you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The frequency (in Hz) of A3 is displayed by the TUNE function. The tuning can be adjusted up or down a maximum of approximately 26 Hz (slightly over 100 cents) in 0.2-Hz steps. TUNE • Range: 414.8 Hz — 466.6 Hz (–102.1 — +101.62 cents) • Basic setting: 440 Hz Hz and Cents • Pitch is measured in units of Hertz (abbreviated Hz), which represents the number of times the sound wave vibrates in a second. • A cent is a unit of pitch equal to 1/100 of a semitone (100 cents = 1 semitone). • Tune has no effect on the Drum Kit voices. • The XG Master Tune setting is effective when playing back songs containing XG Master Tune data. ■ Transpose .................................................................................................................... TRANSPOSE functions • Range: –24 — +24 semitones (–2 — +2 octaves) • Basic setting: 0 The Transpose functions make it possible to shift the pitch of the keyboard or song data in semitone units, allowing you to match the pitch of the Clavinova to the range of other instruments or singers. The Clavinova has two transpose functions: ALL and SONG. The former transposes all notes played by the Clavinova, whereas the latter transposes song data only. When you change the setting of the ALL function, the SONG setting is also adjusted by the same amount. CVP-109/107/105/700 186 188 • The Transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit voices. • When playing back songs containing XG Transpose data, the XG Transpose data is effective only for the data playback sound. The value set on the panel affects the keyboard sound. • The values set here affect playback data transmitted via MIDI. • When a Transpose function is set to a high value, notes played in the corresponding range at the upper end of the keyboard (e.g., C5 through C7 for a value of +24) may not sound as expected. The same is true of notes at the lower end of the keyboard when a low Transpose value is set. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Keyboard FUNCTION [KEYBOARD 2] Display — page 2 ■ Key Touch & Fixed Velocity ...................................................................... The Key Touch function determines how velocity affects the volume of the voices played by the Clavinova’s keyboard. Select from four Key Touch settings to tailor the keyboard response to the selected voice, type of song, or your personal playing style. Press the KEY TOUCH button to change the setting. The data dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. Velocity • The amount of force applied to a key is frequently referred to in this manual as velocity. This is because the Clavinova determines the amount of force that was applied to a key by measuring the speed with which the key was depressed. • This function does not affect the actual weight of the keys. Key Touch Settings NORMAL This is the standard keyboard response and is used as the basic setting. SOFT This setting lets you produce a relatively loud sound even when playing the keys softly. FIXED This setting produces a uniform degree of loudness, no matter how forcefully or softly you play the keys. Use the FIXED VELOCITY function to set the loudness of notes produced by the keyboard. HARD This setting requires you to play the keys quite strongly to produce maximum loudness ■ Voice Setting ............................................................................................................. 187 This function determines whether the basic reverb, chorus, effect, and other settings for each voice are automatically selected when a voice is selected. Press the VOICE SETTING button to change the setting. When it is set to AUTO, the basic settings for each voice are automatically selected when the voice is selected; when it is set to MANUAL, the settings do not change when voices are selected. KEY TOUCH • Settings: See table at left. • Basic setting: NORMAL FIXED VELOCITY • Range: 1 — 127 • Basic setting: 76 VOICE SETTING • Settings: AUTO, MANUAL • Basic Setting: AUTO The following settings are automatically selected when VOICE SETTING is set to AUTO: Function Page Reverb ON/OFF 46 Natural Reverb type (CVP-109) 48 Reverb system (CVP-109) 48 Reverb depth settings 49 Chorus ON/OFF 51 Chorus depth settings 53 Effect ON/OFF 54 or 58 EFFECT TYPE 56 or 59 Effect DEPTH 57 or 60 Effect VARIATION 56 or 60 HARMONY TYPE 88 Harmony SPEED 89 Harmony VOLUME 89 OCTAVE settings 37, 39, 43 RIGHT PEDAL function 191 (CVP-109/107/700) BEND RANGE setting 191 (CVP-109/107/700) CVP-109/107/105/700 189 Pedal ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○○ FUNCTION [PEDAL] Display — page 3 ■ Left Pedal & Glide Range ........................................................................... This function conveniently lets you set the left pedal to control one of various functions. LEFT PEDAL • Settings: See table at left. • Basic setting: SOFT LEFT PEDAL Settings Setting SOFT The left pedal functions as the soft pedal (basic setting). (See page 45.) DAMPER (CVP-109/107/700) The left pedal functions as a switched damper pedal (see the description of the SW.DAMPER setting of the RIGHT PEDAL function on page 191). This setting is useful when you set the right pedal to control pitch bends. START/STOP The left pedal functions as the [START/STOP] button. (See page 64.) HARMONY When the Harmony function is set to on, Harmony is applied only while the left pedal is held down. (See page 87.) REGISTRATION The panel settings registered to the next Registration number are recalled each time the left pedal is pressed. (See page 109.) REG.FREEZE The left pedal switches the Registration Freeze function on and off; that is, it performs the same function as the FREEZE button in the REGISTRATION [FREEZE] display (page 111). ENDING/RIT The left pedal functions as the [ENDING] button. You can have the song end ritardando (slow down gradually) by pressing the left pedal twice in succession. (See page 67.) BREAK Pressing the left pedal during style playback produces a break in the accompaniment and rhythm for as long as the pedal is held. When the pedal is released, normal playback resumes from the next measure. If you press the left pedal a second time within one measure, normal playback resumes immediately. BREAK FIL Pressing the left pedal during style playback causes the Clavinova to play a special “break fill-in” pattern. This pattern is different from the fill-in patterns produced by the Auto Fill function. (See page 63.) BASS HOLD While the left pedal is pressed, the bass note played by the Auto Accompaniment will be held even if the chord is changed. This function does not work when FULL KEYBOARD is selected as the accompaniment mode (page 73). FADE IN/OUT The left pedal performs the function same as the [FADE IN/ OUT] button. (See pages 67 and 68.) EFF1 VARI (CVP-109/107/700) This function switches the effect variation on or off for effect system 1; that is, it performs the same effect as the VARIATION button in the EFFECT 1 display (page 56). EFF2 VARI (CVP-109/107/700) This function switches the effect variation on or off for effect system 2; that is, it performs the same effect as the VARIATION button in the EFFECT 2 display (page 56). EFFECT VARI (CVP-105) This function switches the effect variation on or off; that is, it performs the same effect as the VARIATION button in the EFFECT display (page 60). CVP-109/107/105/700 If the left pedal is set to REGISTRATION, the setting of the left pedal function in Registration memory is not recalled. 188 190 Description ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Pedal LEFT PEDAL Settings (continued) Setting GLIDE UP S GLIDE UP M GLIDE UP F Description Pressing the left pedal causes the pitch to rise an amount specified by the GLIDE RANGE function. When the pedal is released, the pitch glides smoothly back to normal at one of three speeds (slow, medium or fast, depending on the selected setting). Pressing the left pedal causes the pitch to drop an amount specified by the GLIDE RANGE function. When the pedal is GLIDE DOWN M released, the pitch glides smoothly back to normal at one of three speeds (slow, medium or fast, depending on the seGLIDE DOWN F lected setting). GLIDE DOWN S GLIDE RANGE • Settings: 1 — 12 (semitones) • Basic setting: 1 • On the CVP-109/107/700, the BEND RANGE function may be displayed in place of the GLIDE RANGE function when the RIGHT PEDAL function is set to BEND UP or BEND DOWN. To display the GLIDE RANGE function, press the LEFT PEDAL button and select one of the GLIDE settings, if necessary. ■ Right Pedal & Bend Range (CVP-109/107/700) ................... This function lets you set the right pedal of the CVP-109/107/700 to one of two damper modes, or to control upward and downward pitch bends. RIGHT PEDAL • Settings: See table at left. • Basic setting: Depends on main voice. CVP-109/107/700 RIGHT PEDAL Settings Setting Description CONT.DAMPER The right pedal functions like a standard damper pedal. The sustain length is increased by degrees depending on how far the pedal is pressed. SW.DAMPER The right pedal functions as a damper on/off switch. The sustain length increases when the pedal is pressed, and returns to normal when it is let up. BEND UP Pressing the right pedal bends the pitch upward to the maximum amount specified by the BEND RANGE function. BEND DOWN Pressing the right pedal bends the pitch downward to the maximum amount specified by the BEND RANGE function. 189 Because the basic settings of the Right Pedal and Bend Range functions depend on the current voice selection, the settings of these functions may change automatically when a different voice is selected. (The Bend Range value will change automatically only if BEND UP or BEND DOWN is specified as the Right Pedal basic setting for the selected voice.) CVP-105 Damper The right pedal on the CVP-105 functions as a damper on/off switch (see the description of the SW.DAMPER setting in the table at left). BEND RANGE • Settings: 1 — 12 (semitones) • Basic setting: Depends on main voice. • The GLIDE RANGE function may be displayed in place of the BEND RANGE function when the LEFT PEDAL function is set to one of the GLIDE settings. To display the BEND RANGE function, press the RIGHT PEDAL button and select BEND UP or BEND DOWN, if necessary.

Floppy disks must be correctly formatted before the Clavinova can use them for data storage. If you insert a new, unformatted disk (or a disk that has already been initialized in a different format) in the disk drive, the Clavinova will automatically ask you whether it should format the disk. (See page 131 for details.) The Clavinova also has a Disk Format function that can be used to reformat disks that have already been formatted for use by the Clavinova. The reformatting operation deletes any data that may have been saved on the disk. Z Insert the disk to be formatted. Make sure that the disk’s write protect tab is set to the “write” position, and insert the disk into the disk drive face up with the shutter forward until it clicks into place. X Execute the format operation. Press the START button. The Disk Format function cannot be used while the [SONG] lamp is lit. Exit the Song mode before attempting to format a disk. CAUTION Formatting a disk erases all the data on the disk. Before you format a disk, make sure it doesn’t contain any data that you want to keep. Format Types 2DD disks are formatted to hold 720 KB of data; 2HD disks are formatted to hold 1.44 MB of data. ➔ An “Are you sure?” message is displayed. Press YES to execute the format, or NO to cancel. A bar graph indicates the progress of the formatting process. Once the disk has been formatted, the Clavinova can use it to store songs and other data.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels (1 through 16) of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. The SEND CH function lets you set the MIDI transmit channels for the keyboard parts. Part Explanation LEFT Left voice in Split mode (see page 41) 3 RIGHT1 Main voice 1 RIGHT2 Second voice in Dual mode (see page 38) 2 SEND CH • Settings: OFF, 1 — 16 • Basic setting: See table at left. Basic Setting You can set each keyboard part to transmit on a separate channel. If you set a part to OFF, the MIDI data for that part will not be transmitted. ● MIDI Reception The Clavinova always receives MIDI data in the “Multi Timbre” mode. This is a mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 16) by an external MIDI device. This means that you can produce the sound of a full band or ensemble on the Clavinova by using a computer or MIDI sequencer. ■ Local Control .......................................................................................................... 199 The term “local control” refers to the control of the internal tone generator by the keyboard. You will normally play the Clavinova with the Local Control function set to ON. Turning off the local control separates the keyboard from the tone generator, so that the Clavinova will not output any sound when you play the keyboard. Since keyboard performance data is still output via the MIDI jacks, however, you can use this setting when you want to play an external MIDI tone generator from the Clavinova’s keyboard without sounding the internal voices. To turn the local control on or off, press the LOCAL button. The data dial and [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. LOCAL • Settings: ON, OFF • Basic setting: ON CVP-109/107/105/700 201 MIDI ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○○ ■ Synchronization .................................................................................................... The playback tempo of a song or style is normally controlled by the Clavinova’s internal clock. When you want the Clavinova’s playback tempo to be controlled by an external sequencer or rhythm machine, you should set the synchronization function to use an external clock. You might use this function, for example, to play the Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova in perfect synchronization with an external sequencer. To switch the synchronization from an internal clock to an external clock (or vice versa), press the SYNC. button. The data dial and the [–] and [+] buttons cannot be used. SYNC. • Settings: INT. (internal clock), EXT. (external clock) • Basic setting: INT. FUNCTION [MIDI 2] Display — page 10 ■ MIDI Filter ................................................................................................................. The FUNCTION [MIDI 2] display contains MIDI filter settings that can be used to enable or prevent the transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI data. ● Program Change Messages Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or another MIDI device. For example, the Clavinova can change voices in response to MIDI program change messages received from a connected MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) The voices of connected external MIDI devices can also be changed by program change messages transmitted from the Clavinova. (Program change messages are transmitted when changing voices on the panel of the Clavinova.) Depending on your particular MIDI setup, you may find that this feature is convenient in some cases and not in others. Set the PROGRAM function to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of program change messages. CVP-109/107/105/700 Bank MSB and LSB messages can be transmitted and received even when PROGRAM is set to OFF. 200 202 PROGRAM • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○MIDI ● Control Change Messages Control change messages are used for various non-keyboard performance controls, such as the damper pedal, or for expressive control of the sound of a connected MIDI device, such as effects and volume. For example, the Clavinova can respond to control change messages transmitted from an external MIDI sequencer. (These messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) Similarly, an external MIDI device can be controlled by sending control change messages from the Clavinova to that device. (Control change messages are transmitted when operating the damper pedal, etc., on the Clavinova.) Set CONTROL to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of control change messages. The control change data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in detail on page 17 in the Reference Booklet. CONTROL • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ● System Exclusive Messages System exclusive messages are used for more advanced or detailed MIDI control, or for controls related to specific manufacturer’s devices. Set SYS EX. to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of system exclusive messages. The system exclusive data recognized by the Clavinova is listed in detail on page 19 in the Reference Booklet. SYS EX. • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: Tx&Rx ● Start/Stop Commands A device that transmits the Start/Stop command can start and stop the rhythm or sequence data performance of a receiving device via MIDI. For example, you can transmit the Start/Stop command from an external MIDI sequencer to start and stop the Auto Accompaniment or song playback on the Clavinova. Also, an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine can be started and stopped by starting and stopping the Auto Accompaniment on the Clavinova. Set START/STOP to ON to enable the transmission and reception of Start/Stop commands. START/STOP • Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received), OFF • Basic setting: OFF FUNCTION [MIDI 3] Display — page 11 ■ Receive Filter ........................................................................................................... 201 The Receive Filter function lets you prevent the Clavinova from receiving channel-specific MIDI messages — such as note data and control changes — on certain MIDI channels. This function is useful, for example, when you want to control some of the Clavinova’s voices exclusively from an external sequencer, and others using only the Clavinova’s keyboard or its built-in Auto Accompaniment and Song mode functions. (You can also have the Clavinova ignore channels carrying messages that are intended for another instrument connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal.) By default, the Clavinova will receive messages on all 16 channels. Use the following procedure to enable or disable the reception of a channel: RECEIVE FILTER • Settings: ON, OFF (x 16) • Basic setting: ON (x 16) CVP-109/107/105/700 203 MIDI ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○○ Z Select the channel.

CAUTION Be sure to turn off the power when connecting or disconnecting computers or MIDI equipment, as failing to do so can result in damage to equipment. Connecting MIDI Equipment Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI terminals on the Clavinova to other MIDI devices. The Clavinova’s MIDI terminals are located at the left of the unit on the underside (CVP-109/107/700) or rear panel (CVP-105). Tone generators or other devices to be controlled by the Clavinova can be connected to the MIDI [OUT] terminal. Devices that will control the Clavinova should be connected to the MIDI [IN] terminal. If you have a personal computer or sequencer that will control the Clavinova, you may want to connect it to both the [IN] and [OUT] terminals to allow two-way communication. In this case, any other instruments to be controlled by the same device can be connected to the Clavinova’s MIDI [THRU] terminal. When you use the MIDI terminals, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to the MIDI position. The MIDI terminals will not transmit or receive data if this switch is set to any other position. You can set the Clavinova’s MIDI parameters using pages 9 through 12 of the FUNCTION display (see page 201 through 204). Mac PC-1 [TO HOST] or MIDI? • If you simply want to connect your Clavinova to a personal computer, it may be more convenient to use the [TO HOST] terminal, as your computer won’t need a special MIDI interface to make that connection. • The MIDI terminals are particularly convenient when you want the Clavinova to function as part of a more extensive MIDI setup. MIDI PC-2 HOST SELECT THRU OUT IN MIDI Tone Generator MIDI Sequencer Connecting to a Host Computer You can connect the Clavinova to an Apple Macintosh, IBM-PC/AT, or compatible personal computer using the [TO HOST] connector, which is located at the left of the unit on the underside (CVP-109/107/700) or rear panel (CVP-105). If you do, be sure to set the adjacent [HOST SELECT] switch to the appropriate setting for your computer model. CVP-109/107/105/700 214 216 • Turn off both the Clavinova and the computer before connecting the cable. • When the Clavinova is connected to a host computer, turn on the computer first, then the Clavinova. • Disconnect the cable when not using the [TO HOST] terminal. If it is left connected, the Clavinova may not function properly. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Data Connections ■ Connecting to an Apple Macintosh or Compatible Computer ................................................................................................................................................

CVP-109/107/105/700 224 226 Troubleshooting 225 Problem ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Cause Solution The Clavinova does not turn on. The Clavinova has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the Clavinova, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal, and is no cause for concern. Noise is heard from the Clavinova’s speakers. The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the Clavinova. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the Clavinova. The display is too bright or too dark to read. The brightness may be affected by the surrounding temperature. Adjust the contrast of the display using the [CONTRAST] control. (See page 11.) The keyboard volume is low compared to that of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback. Either the overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard part is set too low. Increase the overall keyboard level in the main display (page 23), or use the VOLUME function in the appropriate KEYBOARD display (pages 37, 39, or 42) to raise the volume of the keyboard part in question. The volume of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback is low compared to that of the keyboard. The [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] is set too low. Raise the [ACMP/SONG VOLUME] level. The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song tracks is set too low. Raise the part or track level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display (page 77 or 120). The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard. The [MASTER VOLUME] is set too low. Raise the [MASTER VOLUME] level. Headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones. The Local Control function is turned off. Turn the Local Control function on. (See page 201.) The damper pedal has no effect, or the sound continuously sustains even when the damper pedal is not pressed. The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord plug into the proper jack. (See pages 48, 54 and 62 in the Reference booklet for the CVP-105, CVP-700 and CVP-109/107, respectively.) Style or song playback does not start. The MIDI Sync function is set to EXT. Set the MIDI Sync function to INT. (See page 202.) When the keyboard is played, not all of the notes sound. The Clavinova’s total simultaneous polyphonic capacity (maximum number of notes) has been exceeded. Since the configuration of the tone generation system is such that later notes have priority, previous notes may occasionally be cut off. (See “Specifications” on page 67 of the Reference Booklet for details about the simultaneous polyphonic capacity.)

CVP-109/107/105/700 226 228 Cause MIDI and Data Compatibility ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ■ MIDI ● Sequence Format MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. • Depending on the MIDI device, the transmittable/receivable data differs, and only data which is commonly recognized among the connected MIDI devices can be transmitted or received. You can check whether your instrument supports certain data types by referring to the MIDI Implementation Chart in the owner’s manual for that instrument. The MIDI Implementation Chart for the CVP109/107/105/700 is found on page 38 in the Reference Booklet. MIDI Terminals Data received via the MIDI IN terminal is retransmitted unchanged through this terminal. This terminal transmits the MIDI data. This terminal receives the MIDI data. THRU OUT IN MIDI MIDI Cable Connect MIDI devices with special MIDI cables. • MIDI settings can be made in the MIDI pages of the Function mode display. (See pages 201 through 204.) • Further information on MIDI and its applications is available in various music books and magazines. ■ Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CVP-109/107/105/700, and whether or not the CVP-109/107/ 105/700 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below. ● Basic Check Points The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the items below. • Disk Format • Sequence format • Voice allocation format ● Disk format 227 Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with various devices, including computers. Different devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system of the device being used. This operation is called “formatting.” • There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided, high density), and each type has different formatting systems. • CVP-109/107/105/700 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the CVP-109/107/105/700, a 2DD disk stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores up to 1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and “1.44 MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are also used to indicate the format type of disk.) • Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be used is compatible with the format of the disk. The system which records song data is called “sequence format.” • Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the disk matches that of the MIDI device. [Common Sequence Formats] SMF (Standard MIDI File) This is the most common sequence format. • Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1. • Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0. • The CVP-109/107/105/700 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1 (for Format 1, up to a maximum of 17 chunks). • Song data recorded on the CVP-109/107/105/700 is automatically recorded as SMF Format 0. ESEQ This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. • The CVP-109/107/105/700 is compatible with ESEQ. ● Voice Allocation Format With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” • Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. [Main Voice Allocation Formats] GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. • Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1, as is most commercially available software. • The CVP-109/107/105/700 is compatible with GM System Level 1. XG XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. • The CVP-109/107/105/700 is compatible with XG. • Song data recorded on the CVP-109/107/105/700 using voices in the [XG] category is XG-compatible. DOC This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is also a common format used with various Yamaha software. • The CVP-109/107/105/700 is compatible with DOC. Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods.
