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.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual 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:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
instrument.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
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.
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.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
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.
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:
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.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument
is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.
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.
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.
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 use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
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.

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.
In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and
do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or
instrument.
•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn
off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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.
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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
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.
In the case of a model which the height adjustable bench
included, do not attempt to adjust the bench height while
sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to
be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting
in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term
use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving and backing up your data
Current data (see page 46) is lost when you turn off the power
to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk (CLP-170)/
the storage memory (see page 46).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to a floppy disk (CLP-170).
Backing up the floppy disk (CLP-170)
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy
disks.
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.

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.
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the floppy
disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during
the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong]
(P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) opera-
tion), the Clavinova displays [Executing].
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the
disk and possibly the disk drive.
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will
automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, care-
fully remove it by hand.
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 posi-
tion 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.
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 commercially-avail-
able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-
ability of proper head-cleaning disks.
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 liq-
uids.
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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
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 dam-
aged. To make a backup disk use the Copy Disk function
on page 52.
Maintenance
Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well).
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber
products on the instrument.
Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded.
CAUTION
Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-4.
Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move
the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the
instrument to excessive vibration or shock.
The CLP-170 features an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker located on the
rear of the Clavinova, enhancing the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound.
In order to take full advantage of iAFC, we recommend that you do the following.
• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall.
• After you move the Clavinova to a different location, perform the automatic adjustment. (page 86)

Features
The Yamaha CLP-170/150 Clavinova features rich sounds produced by Yamahas proprietary “AWM dynamic stereo
sampling” tone generator system, a Graded Hammer” keyboard (CLP-150) that varies the key weight according to
the key range, and a “GH3” keyboard (CLP-170) that enhances the graded hammer keyboard by allowing you to play
a note to be played repeatedly without pressing the pedal, giving these electronic pianos a “playing-feel” that is very
close to the keyboard of a genuine grand piano. The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched
samples (Dynamic Sampling), “String Resonance (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special Sus-
tain Sampling (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand pianos soundboard and strings
when the damper pedal is pressed, and Key-off Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are
released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the Clavinova
Turning the power on
1. Connect the power cable.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the Clavinova, then plug the other end of
the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall.
In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in
your area.
WARNING!
Make sure your CLP-170/150 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears on
the name plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main key-
board unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. Connecting the unit to the
wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CLP-170/150. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced,
contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the CLP-170/150 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased.
(In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT mod-
ify the plug provided with the CLP-170/150. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.

Using the pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto
pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive
effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, or notes are sustained
even when the pedal is not
pressed, make sure that the
pedal cord is properly
plugged into the PEDAL jack
on the unit (see step 5 on
page 113 (CLP-150), see
step 6 on page 116 (CLP-
170)). Also, make sure that
the RPedal parameter in the
“VOICE SETTING” menu is
set to ON (see page 83).
Damper (right) pedal
When you press the damper pedal, the notes
you play have a longer sustain.
When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the
damper pedal activates the instruments special
“Sustain Samples to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand pianos
soundboard and strings.
You can adjust the depth of
the resonance produced by
the “Sustain Samples” using
the Sustain Sampling Depth
parameter in the “OTHER
SETTING” menu. (See
page 93.)
Sostenuto (center) pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard
and press the sostenuto pedal while holding
the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as
the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will
not sustain.
You can assign a function to
each pedal via the “R
Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L
Pedal” parameters in the
“VOICE SETTING” menu.
(See pages 83, 84.)
The center and left pedals
can also be assigned to
song start/stop operation
(START/STOP function) via
the “PedalStart/Stop”
parameter in the “OTHER
SETTING” menu (on
page 94).
Soft pedal (left)
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes
played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you
play the target notes.)
With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and
off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.)

Recording Your Performance
You can record your perfor-
mance (audio data) to a cas-
sette tape recorder or other
recording devices via the
AUX OUT connector. (see
page 60.)
This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova
recording function.
You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova key-
board for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part,
then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand
part.
Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the left-
and right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed perfor-
mance or ensemble song one by one to build a song.
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cas-
sette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and
a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the
saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information. However,
this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.
Refer to the “Message List” on page 96 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and
troubleshooting information.
Recording a New Song

Saving Recorded Songs and
Handling the Files...[FILE]
File
A file contains a group of
data. On the Clavinova, a
song file includes song data
and a song number.
Memory
Memory is a location inside
the Clavinova in which you
can save and edit data.
Formatting (Initializing)
(CLP-170)
Floppy disks are a conve-
nient media that allow you to
save various data for per-
sonal computers and other
devices. There are many
ways (formats) to save data
on floppy disks, depending
on the device. Therefore,
you need to prepare a floppy
disk by assigning a format
before you can use it on a
particular type of device.
This operation is called “for-
matting.
Character code
Type of characters
Please note that the copy
features are intended for
your personal use only.
File screens (accessed via the [FILE] button) enables you to handle song files
(e.g., save, delete, and rename recorded songs), copy and format disks (CLP-
170), and change the characters on the screen.
The following parameters are provided for these operations:
Clavinova memory
The Clavinova has the following three types of memory:
Current memory:
This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit
the currently-selected song before playback or recording.
Preset song memory:
This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs.
Storage memory:
This memory area enables you to save recorded songs or song data loaded
from floppy disk (CLP-170).
When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song
memory, Storage memory, or floppy disk (CLP-170), into Current memory.
You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn
off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Stor-
age memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are
lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Stor-
age memory or on a floppy disk (CLP-170) (see pages 48, 49).
In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is
referred to as a Current song, a song in Storage memory is a Memory
song, and a song on a floppy disk is a Disk song (CLP-170).

The Clavinova’s [MASTER
VOLUME] dial setting affects
the input signal from the AUX
IN jacks, but the [REVERB],
[CHORUS], and BRIL-
LIANCE [MELLOW]
[BRIGHT] (page 30) settings
do not.
If you connect the Clavi-
nova to a monaural device,
use only the AUX IN [L/L+R]
jack or AUX OUT [L/L+R]
jack.
Do not route the output from
the AUX OUT jacks to the
AUX IN jacks. That is, when
you connect an external
audio device to the AUX
OUT jacks, do not connect
the audio device to the
Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks. If
you make this connection,
the signal input at the AUX
IN jacks will be output from
AUX OUT. This creates an
audio loop, causing audio
oscillation and abnormal
playback, and leading to
malfunction of both pieces
of equipment.
Use audio cables and adap-
tor plugs with no resistance.
The Clavinova’s [MASTER
VOLUME] setting will not
affect the sound that is out-
put from AUX OUT (LEVEL
FIXED).
6 AUX IN [R], [L/L+R] jacks
The stereo outputs from another instrument can be connected to these jacks,
allowing the sound of an external instrument to be reproduced via the Clavi-

tion.
CAUTION
When the Clavinovas AUX IN jacks are connected to an external device, first
turn on the power to the external divice, then to the Clavinova. Reverse this order
when you turn the power off.
7 AUX OUT [R][L] Pin jacks (LEVEL FIXED), [R][L/L+R] Phone jacks
These jacks let you connect the Clavinova to your stereo system etc. to play at
higher volumes, or connect a cassette recorder etc. to record your playing.
Use audio cables to make connections as shown in the diagram.
CAUTION
When the Clavinovas AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external audio sys-
tem, first turn on the power to the Clavinova, then to the external audio system.

This lets you experience the ambience and rever-
beration that are characteristic of performing on
stage. Ambience and reverberation are also added
to the performance of the musicians playing
together with you, letting you enjoy the sensation
of playing together on stage. The sound of the
instrument itself and the sound of singing and
other instruments played nearby is picked up by a
mic, and processed to simulate the spatial charac-
teristic of performing together on stage.
NaturalSndBrd (Natural Soundboard)
This creates the resonance and enhances the acous-
tic realism of the sound that is characteristic of
acoustic instruments. When used on a grand piano
sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano.
The sound of the instrument itself is picked up by a
mic, and processed to create a virtual soundboard.
DynDmpEfx (Dynamic Damper Effect)
This simulates the sustain sound that occur when
you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The
mic is not used, but the sound produced within the
Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensa-
tion.
This parameter is effective only on the voice group

Detailed settings for iAFC [iAFC SETTING] (CLP-170)
This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and
response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect
will be obtained.
When automatic adjustment begins, a fairly loud
harpsichord note will sound four times at a fixed
interval.
Automatic adjustment will end in approximately
two and a half minutes.
While automatic adjustment is being performed,
do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the
Clavinova.
See the procedure on page 71.
iAFC cannot be used in the following cases.
When the Speaker setting is Normal, and head-
phones are connected.
When the Speaker setting is Off.
The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic
adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to
adjust the volume of the Clavinova.
If a sound occurs in the vicinity of the Clavinova during
automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment may be
aborted, and the settings reset to their default values.
If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the auto-
matic adjustment once again.
If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traf-
fic) is audible around the Clavinova during the automatic
adjustment, the adjustment may abort and the settings
reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recom-
mend that you perform the automatic adjustment once
again after you eliminate the noise.
If you re-locate the Clavinova after making the automatic
adjustment, first reset the iAFC settings to their default
values before re-locating the unit. (See the following.)

MIDI [MIDI SETTING]
“Local Control On is a state in which the Clavi-
nova produces the sound from its tone generator
when you play the keyboard. In “Local Control
Off state, the keyboard and the tone generator are
cut off from each other. This means that even if
you play the keyboard, the Clavinova will not pro-
duce the sound. Instead, the keyboard data can be
transmitted via MIDI to a connected MIDI device,
which can produce the sound. The “Local Control
Off setting is useful when you wish to play an
external sound source while playing the keys on the
Clavinova.
See the procedure on page 71.

Procedure
Press the [OTHER SETTING] button to enter Other Setting mode.
You can specify a touch response (how the sound
responds to the way you play the keys).
See the procedure on page 71.
Setting range:
Light With a soft touch, the Clavinova pro-
duces a loud sound. The volume level of
tones tends to be consistent.
Medium Standard touch response.
Heavy You must hit the key very hard to gener-
ate a loud volume. This allows for versa-
tile expression, from pianissimo to
fortissimo tones.
Fixed No touch response. The volume level will
be the same regardless of how hard you
play the keys. Use the B [–]/[+] buttons
to set the volume level.
Setting range of the “Fixed” volume level:
1 - 127
You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instru-
ment. This function is useful when you play the
Clavinova along with other instruments or CD
music.

You can select various scales.
Equal Temperament is the most common contem-
porary piano tuning scale. However, history has
known numerous other scales, many of which
serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You
can experience the tunings of these genres.
See the procedure on page 71.
Setting range:
Equal
One octave is divided into twelve equal
intervals. Currently most popular piano
tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major
chords using these scales produce a beauti-
ful, pure sound. They are sometimes used
for chorus parts.
Pythagorean
This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek
philosopher, is based on the interval of a
perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but
the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable
for some leads.
MeanTone
This scale is an improvement of the
Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has
been eliminated. It spread during the late
16th century through the late 18th century.
Handel used this scale.
WerckMeister/KirnBerger
These scales combine Mean Tone and
Pythagorean in different ways. With these
scales, modulation changes the impression
and feel of the songs. They were often used
in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are
also often used now to reproduce the music
of that era on harpsichords.
Normal setting:
Equal
If you select a scale other than Equal, you need to
specify the root note using the B [–]/[+] buttons.

You can specify the split point (the boundary between
the right-hand and left-hand keyboard areas).
See the procedure on page 71.
Setting range:
A-1–C7
You can also use [SPLIT] to set the split point. (page 36)
TRANSPOSE= To change the key
(Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of
the entire song.)
The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to
shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semi-
tone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signa-
tures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.
For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,
playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play
the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will
transpose it to the key of F.

the left-hand part) is automatically assigned
(page 33). Therefore, if the track already has
data, the data will be overwritten during
recording. Also, switching to Dual mode or
Split mode in the middle of the song is not
recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with
the second voice (or the notes lower than the
Split point) are not recorded.
What type of data is recorded?
Data recorded in the tracks:
•Note data (notes you play)
•Voice selection
•Clavinova pedals and external pedal on/off
•Reverb depth [ReverbSend]

Questions about Operations and Functions
I cannot change the key signature in the
song after recording.
Press the [TOP] button to locate the top of the
song, use the B [–]/[+] buttons to locate the
measure in which you wish to change the key
signature, then change it.
How much data can I record?
Current memory (page 48): About 800KB
Storage memory (page 48): About 750KB
2DD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about
720KB
2HD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about
1.4MB
The on/off setting of the pedal connected to
the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed.
Some types of pedals may turn on and off in
opposite fashion. Use the AuxPedalType”
parameter (page 84) in the “OTHER SET-
TING” menu to change the external pedal set-
ting.
The song title is not correct.
The “CharacterCode setting may be different
than that used when you named the song. Also,
if the song was recorded on another instru-
ment, the title might be displayed incorrectly.
Use the “CharacterCode parameter (page 54)
in the FILE menu to change the setting. How-
ever, if the song was recorded on another
instrument, changing the “CharacterCode
parameter setting may not resolve the problem.
What is the difference between “Touch-
Sense” and “TouchResponse” MIDI data?
“TouchSense” determines the manner and
degree to which the volume level changes in
response to your touch on the keyboard. The
MIDI note-on velocity data is not changed. It
changes the volume level at the same velocity
data.
“TouchResponse determines the touch sensi-
tivity of an instrument. The MIDI note-on
velocity data is changed when you play the key-
board with a consistent touch.

CLP-170/150 107
Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the
data recorded by CLP-170/150, and whether or not the CLP-170/150 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 (CLP-170)
Sequence format
Voice allocation format
Disk format (CLP-170)
Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data
used with various devices, including computers. Dif-
ferent devices have different systems of saving data,
therefore it is necessary to first configure the floppy
disk to the system of the device being used. This opera-
tion is called “formatting.
There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (dou-
ble sided, double density) and MF2HD (double
sided, high density), and each type has different for-
matting systems.
CLP-170 can record and playback with both types of
floppy disks.
When formatted by the CLP-170, a 2DD disk saves
up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk saves 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.
Sequence Format
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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with both Format
0 and Format 1.
Performance data recorded on the CLP-170/150 is
saved in the SMF format 0 in a floppy disk.
ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamahas MIDI devices, including the Clavinova
series instruments. This is a common format used
with various Yamaha software.
The CLP-170/150 is compatible with ESEQ.
108
CLP-170/150
Data Compatibility
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 play-
back.
[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 Sys-
tem Level 1, as is most commercially available
software.
•The CLP-170/150 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with XG.
•Performance data recorded with preset voices on
the CLP-170/150 can be played on other XG-
compatible instruments.
DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)
This voice allocation format is compatible with
many of Yamahas MIDI devices, including the
Clavinova series instruments.
This is also common format used with various
Yamaha software.
The CLP-170 is compatible with DOC.
•Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the
conditions above, the data may still not be com-
pletely compatible, depending on the specifica-
tions of the devices and particular data recording
methods.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INFORMATION RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
AND FIRE HAZARD POSSIBILITIES HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST.
WARNING- When using any electrical or electronic product,
basic precautions should always be followed. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Read all Safety Instructions, Installation Instructions, Spe-
cial Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions
found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, includ-
ing connection to the main supply.
2. Main Power Supply Verification: Yamaha products are
manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area
where they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt
exists about the supply voltage in your area, please contact your
dealer for supply voltage verification and (if applicable) instruc-
tions. The required supply voltage is printed on the name plate.
For name plate location, please refer to the graphic found in the
Special Message Section of this manual.
3. This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If the problem
persists, contact an electrician to have the obsolete outlet
replaced. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
4. Some electronic products utilize external power supplies
or adapters. Do NOT connect this type of product to any power
supply or adapter other than one described in the owners manual,
on the name plate, or specifically recommended by Yamaha.
5. WARNING: Do not place this product or any other
objects on the power cord or place it in a position where anyone
could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over power or connect-
ing cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recom-
mended! If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire
size for a 25’ cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the
AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For
longer extension cords, consult a local electrician.
6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless specifically
designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations
that do not interfere with proper ventilation. If instructions for
enclosed installations are not provided, it must be assumed that
unobstructed ventilation is required.
7. Temperature considerations: Electronic products should
be installed in locations that do not significantly contribute to
their operating temperature. Placement of this product close to
heat sources such as; radiators, heat registers and other devices
that produce heat should be avoided.
8. This product was NOT designed for use in wet/damp loca-
tions and should not be used near water or exposed to rain.
Examples of wet/damp locations are; near a swimming pool, spa,
tub, sink, or wet basement.
9. This product should be used only with the components
supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by the
manufacturer. If a cart, rack, or stand is used, please observe all
safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory
product.
10. The power supply cord (plug) should be disconnected
from the outlet when electronic products are to be left unused for
extended periods of time. Cords should also be disconnected
when there is a high probability of lightning and/or electrical
storm activity.
11. Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids are
not spilled into the enclosure through any openings that may exist.
12. Electrical/electronic products should be serviced by a
qualified service person when:
a. The power supply cord has been damaged; or
b. Objects have fallen, been inserted, or liquids have been
spilled into the enclosure through openings; or
c. The product has been exposed to rain: or
d. The product dose not operate, exhibits a marked change
in performance; or
e. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure of the
product has been damaged.
13. Do not attempt to service this product beyond that
described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servic-
ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
14. This product, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of pro-
ducing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO
NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or
at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.
IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period
before damage occurs.
15. Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or accessory
mounting fixtures that are either supplied as a part of the product
or as optional accessories. Some of these items are designed to be
dealer assembled or installed. Please make sure that benches are
stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable) are well
secured BEFORE using. Benches supplied by Yamaha are
designed for seating only. No other uses are recommended.

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.

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: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • 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. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Use only the supplied power cord/plug. Fire warning • 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. • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality • 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. Do not open • 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. 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: Power supply/Power cord Location • 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. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • 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. • 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 use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. Assembly • 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. (1)B-7 • 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. 1/2 CLP-170/150 3 CLP170,150E.book Page 4 Thursday, May 30, 2002 10:41 AM Connections Using the bench (If included) • 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 bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • 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. • In the case of a model which the height adjustable bench included, do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury. Maintenance • In the case of a model with a polished finish, 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. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. Saving data Handling caution Saving and backing up your data • Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution. • Current data (see page 46) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk (CLP-170)/ the storage memory (see page 46). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk (CLP-170). Backing up the floppy disk (CLP-170) • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks. • 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. • 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. 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. 4 (1)B-7 CLP-170/150 2/2 CLP170,150E.book Page 5 Tuesday, November 12, 2002 9:04 AM Thank you for choosing the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-170/150.

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. Drive lamp 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. 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 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 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: To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the floppy disk drive is stopped. If the disk drive is operating (during the [SaveToDisk] (P53), [DeleteSong] (P53), [RenameSong] (P54), [CopyDisk] (P55), or [FormatDisk] (P56) operation), the Clavinova displays [Executing]. Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the disk drive is operating. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. 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. Eject button 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. 12 CLP-170/150 • 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. Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk • To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): • Data backup • To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). • 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 Copy Disk function on page 52. write-protect tab open (protect position) Maintenance Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well). CAUTION Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber products on the instrument. Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded. CAUTION Before using the Clavinova, be sure to read “Precautions” on pages 3-4. Tuning Unlike an acoustic piano, the Clavinova does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune. Transporting If you move to another location, you can transport the Clavinova along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. TIP The CLP-170 features an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect. This produces sound from the speaker located on the rear of the Clavinova, enhancing the reverberation and spaciousness of the sound. In order to take full advantage of iAFC, we recommend that you do the following. • Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least 10 cm away from the wall. • After you move the Clavinova to a different location, perform the automatic adjustment.

The CLP-170/150 GrandPiano1 voice features 3 velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), “String Resonance” (page 93) that recreates resonance of piano strings, special “Sustain Sampling” (page 93)that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed, and “Key-off Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The CLP-170/150 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

TIP To learn characteristics of the voices, listen to demo songs for each voice group (page 22). Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 109 for more information on characteristics of each preset voice. TIP You can control the loudness of a voice by how hard you play the keyboard, although different playing styles (touch sensitivities) have little or no effect with the sound of certain musical instruments. Refer to “Preset Voice List” on page 109. TIP XG is a major enhancement of the GM System level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specially 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. TIP If you select XG and then simultaneously press the VARIATION [▼][▲] buttons, the XG voice select screen will appear. Selecting and Playing Voices Using the pedals The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Damper (right) pedal When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. h q q. q. . When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain. Sostenuto (center) pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain. h q q. q. . TIP If the damper pedal doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the pedal is not pressed, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the PEDAL jack on the unit (see step 5 on page 113 (CLP-150), see step 6 on page 116 (CLP170)). Also, make sure that the RPedal parameter in the “VOICE SETTING” menu is set to ON (see page 83). TIP You can adjust the depth of the resonance produced by the “Sustain Samples” using the Sustain Sampling Depth parameter in the “OTHER SETTING” menu. (See page 93.) When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Soft pedal (left) The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.) With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.) TIP You can assign a function to each pedal via the “R Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L Pedal” parameters in the “VOICE SETTING” menu. (See pages 83, 84.) TIP The center and left pedals can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (START/STOP function) via the “PedalStart/Stop” parameter in the “OTHER SETTING” menu (on page 94).

Procedure Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off. Even if the reverb effect is turned off, a “soundboard reverb” effect will be applied when the GrandPiano1 or GrandPiano2 voice is selected. TIP You can select a reverb type via the Reverb Type parameter in the “VOICE SETTING” menu, and adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice via the Reverb Send parameter. (See page 79.) TIP Normal setting = ON [CHORUS] This control adds spread and spaciousness to the sound. Procedure Pressing the [CHORUS] button repeatedly toggles the chorus on and off. You can turn the chorus effect on and off by pressing the [CHORUS] ON/OFF buttons on the panel and by setting the Chorus On Off parameter in the VOICE SETTING menu (see page 80). The [CHORUS] ON/OFF button setting on the panel is temporary. That is, if you select another voice, the chorus setting for the previous voice is cancelled. The Chorus On Off parameter setting is saved for each voice. That is, if you select a given voice, the chorus setting is automatically turned on or off according to the saved chorus setting. TIP You can select a chorus type via the Chorus Type parameter in the “VOICE SETTING” menu, and adjust the chorus depth for the selected voice via the Reverb Send parameter. You can also turn chorus on or off via the Chorus On Off parameter. (See page 79.) TIP Normal Setting The normal chorus on/off setting is different for each voice.

(page 86) iAFC [ON/OFF] Procedure iAFC will toggle on or off each time you press iAFC [ON/ OFF] switch. TIP How iAFC works Sounds picked up by a mic and sounds produced internally by the Clavinova are processed and output from the rear speaker to enhance acoustic realism of the sound. iAFC uses Yamaha’s EMR (Electronic Microphone Rotator) technology to ensure stability against acoustic feedback. TIP iAFC cannot be used in the following cases. • When the Speaker setting is Normal, and headphones are connected. • When the Speaker setting is Off. TIP When using iAFC, do not block the speaker located on the rear panel of the Clavinova. The optimal iAFC effect cannot be obtained if this speaker is blocked.

CLP-170/150 37 Recording Your Performance TIP You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording devices via the AUX OUT connector. (see page 60.) This chapter explains how to record your performance using the Clavinova recording function. You can, for example, play back what you have played on the Clavinova keyboard for an effective practice aid. You can also record just the left-hand part, then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Since you can record up to sixteen tracks separately, you could record the leftand right-hand parts separately, or record each part of a four-handed performance or ensemble song one by one to build a song. TERMINOLOGY Recording vs. Saving: The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the Clavinova. A cassette tape records audio signals. On the other hand, the Clavinova “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the Clavinova produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the Clavinova may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense. A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. Refer to the “Message List” on page 96 for an explanation of each message, appropriate actions to take, and troubleshooting information.

When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song memory, Storage memory, or floppy disk (CLP-170), into Current memory. You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn off the power to the Clavinova, songs saved in Preset song memory and Storage memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Storage memory or on a floppy disk (CLP-170) (see pages 48, 49). In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is referred to as a “Current song,” a song in Storage memory is a “Memory song,” and a song on a floppy disk is a “Disk song” (CLP-170). Preset song memory Current memory Clavinova 46 CLP-170/150 Storage memory Floppy disk (CLP-170) TERMINOLOGY File A file contains a group of data. On the Clavinova, a song file includes song data and a song number. Memory Memory is a location inside the Clavinova in which you can save and edit data. Formatting (Initializing) (CLP-170) Floppy disks are a convenient media that allow you to save various data for personal computers and other devices. There are many ways (formats) to save data on floppy disks, depending on the device. Therefore, you need to prepare a floppy disk by assigning a format before you can use it on a particular type of device.

Ambience and reverberation are also added to the performance of the musicians playing together with you, letting you enjoy the sensation of playing together on stage. The sound of the instrument itself and the sound of singing and other instruments played nearby is picked up by a mic, and processed to simulate the spatial characteristic of performing together on stage. NaturalSndBrd (Natural Soundboard) This creates the resonance and enhances the acoustic realism of the sound that is characteristic of acoustic instruments. When used on a grand piano sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano. The sound of the instrument itself is picked up by a mic, and processed to create a virtual soundboard. Adjusting the iAFC depth [iAFC Depth] See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C YES D Setting range: 0–127 Normal setting: 106 TIP If you select [DynDamEfx] for the iAFC type, lower the Depth value slightly if the rear of the Clavinova is closer to the wall, and raise the Depth value slightly if the rear is far from the wall, to obtain the optimal iAFC effect. CLP-170/150 85 Detailed settings for iAFC [iAFC SETTING] (CLP-170) Calibration (automatic adjustment) [Calibration] Restoring the default iAFC settings [iAFC Default] This automatically adjusts the sensitivity and response of iAFC so that the optimal iAFC effect will be obtained. When automatic adjustment begins, a fairly loud harpsichord note will sound four times at a fixed interval. Automatic adjustment will end in approximately two and a half minutes. While automatic adjustment is being performed, do not make audible noises in the vicinity of the Clavinova. See the procedure on page 71. This sets the iAFC function to the default setting. See the procedure on page 71. TIP iAFC cannot be used in the following cases. • When the Speaker setting is Normal, and headphones are connected. • When the Speaker setting is Off. TIP The keyboard will not produce sound while automatic adjustment is being performed. Nor is it possible to adjust the volume of the Clavinova. TIP If a sound occurs in the vicinity of the Clavinova during automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment may be aborted, and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the automatic adjustment once again. TIP If any low-range noise (such as an air conditioner or traffic) is audible around the Clavinova during the automatic adjustment, the adjustment may abort and the settings reset to their default values. If this occurs, we recommend that you perform the automatic adjustment once again after you eliminate the noise. TIP If you re-locate the Clavinova after making the automatic adjustment, first reset the iAFC settings to their default values before re-locating the unit. (See the following.) 86 CLP-170/150 MIDI [MIDI SETTING] You can make detailed MIDI settings, such as setting up MIDI transmit/receive channels. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or computer. MIDI connectors MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data. MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is. TIP Prepare dedicated MIDI cables. [TO HOST] connector Use this connector to connect the Clavinova to a computer. TIP The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to “Connecting a Personal Computer” on page 61 for more information. [USB] connector Use this connector to connect the Clavinova and computer. TIP MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values. Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The Clavinova’s MIDI Implementation Chart is listed on pages 31 and 32 in the “Reference Booklet” for the CLP-170/150. When you are using the MIDI connectors, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “MIDI.” (See page 59.) TIP When you are using the [TO HOST] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch correctly, according to the type of computer you are using. (See page 59.) NOTE When you are using the [USB] connector, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “USB.” TIP You can also obtain detailed information about MIDI from various music magazines and books.

Before you record performance data to a connected MDF3 or sequencer, it is useful if you first send and record (at the beginning of the performance data) the panel setup data for your performance during playback. See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C YES D Executing voice data bulk dump [VoiceBulkDump] You can transmit the voice data specified in the “Voice Setting” menu (page 77) as MIDI bulk data. You can interrupt voice data bulk dump transmission by pressing the B [– (NO)] button. See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C 90 CLP-170/150 YES D Other settings You can make detailed settings for touch, tuning, scale, etc. Procedure Press the [OTHER SETTING] button to enter Other Setting mode. [OTHER SETTING] Selecting a touch response [TouchResponse] Fine tuning the pitch [Tune] You can specify a touch response (how the sound responds to the way you play the keys). See the procedure on page 71. A You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the Clavinova along with other instruments or CD music. See the procedure on page 71. B A NO B YES NO C YES D C Setting range: Light With a soft touch, the Clavinova produces a loud sound. The volume level of tones tends to be consistent. Medium Standard touch response. Heavy You must hit the key very hard to generate a loud volume. This allows for versatile expression, from pianissimo to fortissimo tones. Fixed No touch response. The volume level will be the same regardless of how hard you play the keys. Use the B [–]/[+] buttons to set the volume level. D Setting range: A3=427.0Hz - 453.0Hz (0.1Hz steps) Selecting a tuning curve for a piano voice [PianoTuningCurve] You can select a tuning curve from “GrandPiano1” and “GrandPiano2.” Select “Flat” if you feel the tuning curve of the piano voice does not quite match that of other instruments voices. See the procedure on page 71. A B Setting range of the “Fixed” volume level: NO YES 1 - 127 C D Setting range: Stretch Flat Tuning curve particularly for pianos Tuning curve in which the frequency is octave doubled over the entire keyboard range CLP-170/150 91 Other settings Selecting a scale [Scale] A You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience the tunings of these genres. See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C NO C D Equal One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale. PureMajor/PureMinor Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound. They are sometimes used for chorus parts. Pythagorean This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th. The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MeanTone This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. It spread during the late 16th century through the late 18th century. Handel used this scale. WerckMeister/KirnBerger These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords. Normal setting: Equal If you select a scale other than Equal, you need to specify the root note using the B [–]/[+] buttons. D I b I b b C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B Setting range: Specifying the Split Point [Split Point] You can specify the split point (the boundary between the right-hand and left-hand keyboard areas). See the procedure on page 71. A B NO C YES D Setting range: A-1–C7 NOTE You can also use [SPLIT] to set the split point. (page 36) Changing the key [Transpose] TIP TRANSPOSE= To change the key (Changing the key: To raise or lower the overall pitch of the entire song.) The Clavinova’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.

CLP-170/150 101 CLP170,150E.book Page 102 Thursday, May 30, 2002 10:44 AM Questions about Operations and Functions ■ The buttons do not respond. While you are using a function, some buttons not used for the function are disabled. If the song is playing, stop the playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT] button to return to the main screen. Then, perform the desired operation. ■ The sound sustains and does not decay when I press the sostenuto pedal. With the voices in the CHURCH ORGAN, JAZZ ORGAN, STRINGS, CHOIR group, or some voices in the XG group, the sound continues sustaining while you are holding down the sostenuto pedal. ■ Higher or lower notes does not sound correctly when the transpose or octave setting is made. The setting range for the transposition and octave setting is C-2 - G8. (With the normal setting, the Clavinova’s 88 keys covers the range of A-1 - C7.) If the lowest key is set to a note lower than C-2, it will produce a sound one octave higher. If the highest key is set to a note higher than G8, it will produce a sound one octave lower. ■ How can I return to the recording or song select screen during song recording or playback? Press one of the SONG SELECT [ [ ] buttons once. ] and ■ The tempo does not change even though I recorded with tempo changes. Depending on the timing of tempo changes, the changed tempo may not be recorded. In this case, the recording will be played back at the original tempo. Make tempo changes when the recording track is selected and a red track indicator is flashing. The same trick applies to editing the tempo after recording. ■ Performance in Dual or Split mode is not recorded. Track data is lost unexpectedly. For Dual or Split mode recording, the recording track for the second voice (that is, the voice for the left-hand part) is automatically assigned (page 33). Therefore, if the track already has data, the data will be overwritten during recording. Also, switching to Dual mode or Split mode in the middle of the song is not recorded. Therefore, the notes you played with the second voice (or the notes lower than the Split point) are not recorded. ■ What type of data is recorded? Data recorded in the tracks: • Note data (notes you play) • Voice selection • Clavinova pedals and external pedal on/off • Reverb depth [ReverbSend] • Chorus depth [ChorusSend] • DSP effect depth [DSPDepth] • Sound brightness [Brightness] • Resonance effect setting [Harmonic Content] • Equalizer’s low-range frequency setting [EQLowFreq.] • Equalizer’s low-range gain setting [EQLowGain] • Equalizer’s high-range frequency setting [EQHighFreq.] • Equalizer’s high-range gain setting [EQHighGain] • Octave setting of the voice [Octave] • Volume setting of each voice [Volume] • Left/right position of each sound [Pan] • Fine pitch adjustment between two voices (Dual only) [Detune] • Volume change in response to playing strength for each voice [TouchSense] Data recorded globally in all tracks: • Tempo • Time signature • Reverb type • Chorus type • DSP effect type You can change all data except for note data after recording. You can change the time signature at the beginning of the song, or at a position in the song to which you move, by using the B [–]/[+] buttons while the song is stopped. 102 CLP-170/150 Questions about Operations and Functions ■ I cannot change the key signature in the song after recording. Press the [TOP] button to locate the top of the song, use the B [–]/[+] buttons to locate the measure in which you wish to change the key signature, then change it. ■ How much data can I record? • Current memory (page 48): About 800KB • Storage memory (page 48): About 750KB • 2DD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about 720KB • 2HD floppy disk (CLP-170) (page 12): about 1.4MB ■ The on/off setting of the pedal connected to the AUX PEDAL jack is reversed. Some types of pedals may turn on and off in opposite fashion. Use the “AuxPedalType” parameter (page 84) in the “OTHER SETTING” menu to change the external pedal setting. ■ The song title is not correct. The “CharacterCode” setting may be different than that used when you named the song. Also, if the song was recorded on another instrument, the title might be displayed incorrectly. Use the “CharacterCode” parameter (page 54) in the FILE menu to change the setting. However, if the song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “CharacterCode” parameter setting may not resolve the problem. ■ What is the difference between “TouchSense” and “TouchResponse” MIDI data? “TouchSense” determines the manner and degree to which the volume level changes in response to your touch on the keyboard. The MIDI note-on velocity data is not changed. It changes the volume level at the same velocity data. “TouchResponse” determines the touch sensitivity of an instrument. The MIDI note-on velocity data is changed when you play the keyboard with a consistent touch. CLP-170/150 103 MEMO 104 CLP-170/150 Appendix CLP-170/150 105 Troubleshooting Problem Cause The power of the Clavinova does not turn on. The power cable is not plugged in (check at the Clavinova and at the electrical outlet). Insert the power cable plug firmly into the Clavinova and into the electrical outlet of the correct voltage. (page 17) There is a clicking noise when you press [POWER] to turn the power on or off. This is caused by the electrical power within the instrument. This is not a malfunction. Noise is heard from the Clavinova. A portable telephone is being used near the Clavinova (or the ring tone is sounding). The overall volume is too low. Or, there is no sound at all. The [MASTER VOLUME] is lowered. Headphones are connected (only if the Speaker setting is “Normal HeadphoneSW”). (page 95) Speaker setting is off. Local Control is turned off. “Expression” is assigned to one of the right, center, and left pedals. The keyboard volume is lower than the song playback volume. Sound is still heard from the speakers even though headphones are plugged in. iAFC is not effective when it is turned ON. Feedback occurs when you turn iAFC on. (CLP-170) Damper pedal does not function, or notes are sustained even though the damper pedal is not pressed. 106 Solution CLP-170/150 The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Speaker setting is On. The iAFC mic cords are not inserted into the jacks firmly. iAFC was not automatically adjusted correctly. The plug of the pedal cable is not inserted into the [PEDAL] jack. Turn off the power of the portable telephone located near the Clavinova. Noise may be heard if a portable telephone is used near the Clavinova or if the ring tone occurs. Raise [MASTER VOLUME]. (page 18) Disconnect the headphone plug. Set [Speaker] to “Normal” or “ON”. (page 95) Set Local control ON. (page 89) Assign any function other than “Expression” to the pedal. Move [SONG BALANCE] toward the keyboard to increase the keyboard volume. Set the speaker setting to “Normal (HeadphoneSW)”. (page 95) Insert the iAFC mic cords firmly into the jacks. (page 116) Turn iAFC OFF, and perform the automatic adjustment (page 86). Plug the pedal cable firmly into the [PEDAL] jack. (Refer to “CLP-150: Keyboard Stand Assembly” beginning on page 112, or “CLP-170: Keyboard Stand Assembly” on page 115.) Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by CLP-170/150, and whether or not the CLP-170/150 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 Sequence Format The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the items below. • Disk Format (CLP-170) • Sequence format • Voice allocation format 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] Disk format (CLP-170) Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with various devices, including computers. Different devices have different systems of saving 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. • CLP-170 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the CLP-170, a 2DD disk saves up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk saves 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. ■ 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. • Performance data recorded on the CLP-170/150 is saved in the SMF format 0 in a floppy disk. ■ 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with ESEQ. CLP-170/150 107 CLP170,150E.book Page 108 Thursday, October 31, 2002 2:30 PM Data Compatibility 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 CLP-170/150 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 CLP-170/150 is compatible with XG. • Performance data recorded with preset voices on the CLP-170/150 can be played on other XGcompatible instruments. ■ DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. This is also common format used with various Yamaha software. The CLP-170 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. 108 CLP-170/150 Preset Voice List : YES, ×: No Voice group Voice name Stereo sampling Touch Sense Dynamic sampling Key-off samples String resonance GrandPiano1 This sound was sampled from a full concert grand piano.
